Science comes from naturalism meaning that it can only concern itself with the natural world. Also, the claim that a god exist is an unfalsifiable hypotheses (just like Russel's teapot).
Since a God claim is supernatural and unfalsifiable it can neither be confirmed nor denied by the scientific method.
That is not entirely true, some definitions of god can't be falsified, but proven should one explicitly make itself known in a scientifically verifiable way.
Also not all definitions of god are supernatural, some are naturalistic or define god as literally nature. I believe everything is "naturalistic", even the "super"natural as it is just the manifestation of the same principle. So in this way science and magic just study two different manifestations of the Universe, which I hold to be the "Creator God" which I call Leviathan. So to me to "prove" that god exists is to prove that the Universe has some kind of seemingly intelligent intent, though I don't think until we get close to unlocking the exact way the Universe works we can even test this specific claim of mind.
But however the thing about living souls becoming gods might be testable in some way in the future, you just need to prove that somehow a consciousness can sometimes (this is actually extremely rare imo)survive the physical death of the body.
