I have little problem with most of what you say, however I do not think we can confine our realm of knowledge only to the scientific. The sentence 'god does not exist' still has a truth value. It is just that scientific method does not allow it to be proven.

That it cannot be proven scientifically does not in my opinion warrant a conclusion that we should thereby exclude it.

Although it may lack the precision of scientific method and as such not be so certain, so conclusive we can still argue about the existance of god with the use of reason and the use of empirical data.
