Some font of wisdom--what's new here? To me it's the basic "God is in the details you can't determine" philosophy. We've heard it before, but it says nothing. Taking that point of view, anything which isn't able to be perceived or understood by science (determined, if you will) becomes classified as "God." They could just as easily determine it was "the Devil" or the Flying Spaghetti Monster for that matter. (Hail to the Pastafarians!)
What a weird notion of boundary setting for a deity--the idea that anything which can't be determined must be God--because as we learn more, if you follow this line of thinking, God becomes less. How silly this apples and oranges comparison of science and religion seems to me, but at least apples and oranges can coexist on the same planet, even on the same table, without negating one another or needing to use "appleness" to explain "orangeness" or vice versa.
