We can't explain the vast majority of the universe so call it dark matter and dark energy as a placemarker, we're quite positive that numerous additional dimensions exist but there's no way to measure or observe them, and likewise numerous, perhaps infinite, parallel universes or multiverses likely exist according to the latest equations but there's no way to verify it with observation.

And yet somehow you think we've reached a point in human history that we can rule something out despite not being able to sense nearly the entirety of what science tells us must exist out there, including ruling out an intelligent consciousness that may possibly exist outside our ability to measure with our crude tools.

Even the co-founder of string field theory, Michio Kaku, has said “I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence. To me, it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.”

He also said “Science is based on what is testable, reproducible, and falsifiable,” Kaku says. “That’s called ‘science.’ However, there are certain things that are not testable, not reproducible, and not falsifiable. And that would include the existence of God.” He’s noted that discerning whether you live in a Matrix-style construct or not would be another such ‘non-falsifiable’ problem.

Do you think it's possible, then, that the things that aren't verifiable like the other dimensions or universes, or a God/higher intelligence/consciousness have been deliberately designed for us not to be able to analyse? If the universe shows sense of creative and intelligent design, then perhaps the designer made certain things off-limits?

The 1998 film Pi depicts a mathematician who starts seeing patterns (as well as synchronicities) in the cosmos, and evidence of very fine-tuned mathematics. Synchronicity itself is a mystery that science will probably never really be able to grasp.

That’s just a God of the gaps argument. Yes there is a lot we don’t know yet, that’s not evidence of a God.
