You cannot scientifically analyze God or his works. Since God is omnipotent and capable of performing miracles, he can skip from thought to result without any need for physical action or effect. Since science only studies the physical universe, there is no point in attempting to understand how God Did It from a scientific perspective.
The issue, as I said, is falsifiability. Take the proposition, "The Moon is made of green cheese." This is a scientific hypothesis, because you can prove it is wrong. You can send a craft to the Moon, sample its soil, and, if necessary, grind the Moon to dust to show that there is not a single trace of green cheese anywhere within it. The Green Cheese Hypothesis is falsifiable. God doesn't work like that. You can imagine scientific ways in which He Might Have Done It, but, because God can do anything, you can never develop a testable hypothesis that shows how He Did Not Do It. This means that God is not a scientific hypothesis; from a scientific point of view "God Did It" is as far as you can go.

It's gotten to the point where careful investigation is needed just to tell parody from reality. I think that means reality is broken.- Noclevername.
