Science tries to make sense of the natural world.
If God is to interact with the natural world, his/her existence is by definition a matter of scientific enquiry.
Nothing supernatural exists. As soon as anything "supernatural" interacts with the natural world (I'm thinking miracles here), it enters the domain of science and can be investigated using the scientific method.
So the argument boils down to: no evidence thus far. And no evidence will come up.
This is where the argument usually ends. I'll get a word salad explaining how science can't investigate god, something about emotions and transcendence thrown in, also something about the Nazis, Stalin and atheism with a touch of absolute morality.
