Anyone that spends gobs of time attempting to refute a Deity seems counter-intuitive and ultimately pointless to me.
"Emperor Palpatine wants me to kill your family. As I don't want a Star Destroyer to pay me a visit, I'm gonna have to abide."
Give me a good reason why I should reconsider.

Well, it appears that you do understand...
Yeah, it's not hard to understand why someone faced with such a belief would spend time trying to point out that the Empire doesn't exist.

I re-iterate, Science says NOTHING about the existence or non-existence of God. It can't! He doesn't fit into its framework.
Anything real would fit.
Science says nothing about the existence or nonexistence of God because science only deals with things that are relevant.

I would imagine that if God does exist then he should be extremely relevent.
Science hasn't run into any problems that it needs a god to solve.
PurpleYouko writes:
Or do you think maybe the fact of missing evidence for his existence should be construed as positive evidence for his lack of existence.
It's evidence for lack of relevance, as the value of something that does nothing perceptible is the same as something that does nothing, which is the same as the absence of a thing. (as absences don't "do" at all)
So, the question of existence doesn't need to be tackled, as it doesn't matter what the answer is.
