"Agnostic" describes whether or not one believes something can be known for certain.

Most atheists are agnostic atheists, as it's intellectually dishonest to say that you know for certain that gods don't exist.

Although when referring to a specifically defined god, like the Christian god Yahweh, it's very possible to be certain he doesn't exist, as he's clearly defined in the bible and does not match the evidence of empirical reality.

I completely agree. I define myself as an agnostic omnitheist. I do not know if there is, or is not, a god, therefore I believe any and all paths could potentially lead to god, or to nothing at all.

That’s the fundamental basis of my initial claim that there is room for god and science. There is scientific room for a creator. What created the matter, and set it into motion, to cause the Big Bang? I’m not claiming said creator possesses omnipotence or omnipresence, simply saying that there is sufficient evidence to believe in interference at the beginnings of creation.

Science isn’t simply logic. A theory or hypothesis is based on logic, and then those theories are tested, and the evidence is examined. Science is best suited for repeatable phenomena.

To say that interference-based creation is impossible is not scientific, it’s simply arrogant.

Then yes, there is absolutely room for god as a general concept and science. If science finds a way to measure whatever god is, it will no longer be considered supernatural.
