Proving or disproving the existence of God is predominantly a matter for reason, rather than for scientific enquiry. What are needed are deductive arguments that try to explain God, and, through logical inference, his relation to the world.
Modern atheism, whenever it insists upon using empiricism as an all-purpose tool for knowledge, does so in pursuit of the exact issue that transcends empiricism, since God is outside the universe, not in it.
God is a pure perfect intelligence - almost by definition as 'the personal creator'. If he were only sub-optimally intelligent, then he would not be infinite, and so not God, at least in the traditional monotheistic sense.
Since God is not only pure intellect but the ground of being itself, seeking material scientific proof does a disservice to the discussion of God's existence.
