Throughout history, people have dubbed the unexplainable and unforeseeable outcomes of their futures as the work of god(s). For example, What is the big glowing thing in the sky? It must be a god. Where does love come from? Must have been that beautiful goddess Aphrodite giving us this lovely feeling. Where did the universe come from? Must be the work of God.
Philosophy and science have proven useful tools in answering many of the old questions man once had but there are still many questions which science cannot answer. So science shows us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but where does it come from in the first place? Perhaps someday science will catch up with the elusive answers to these basic questions we have but until then, if ever, we can only speculate, theorise, postulate, hypothesise.
That's your answer, it's not necessarily everyone's. Particularly as the person seems to mean any kind of god and not necessarily that of a specific religion.

So, is there a god? The answer is maybe.
If you are using the term "god" to define that universal energy a.k.a. the source of all there is a.k.a. nature...then I would agree. If you are using the term "god" as defined by any religious belief...then I wholeheartedly disagree.
You write that there are unexplained happenings in the word that science is left gaping at. No one knows where the energy in the world came from, what created the Big Bang, or what created the spark of life. Science keeps taking us farther and further down the path of understanding, however, it only ever takes us to another dead end. It was considered groundbreaking for Darwin to theorize Evolution, but Evolution leads back to the same question of how life started in the first place. If one is reasonable, they must agree that Intelligent Design is one of the most likely theories of creating the world.
Take for example the E Coli bacterial Flagellum. Scientists have been using the argument of the E Coli Bacterial Flagellum to advocate for intelligent design over Evolution. The flagellum is so complex that scientists are unable to explain it in evolutionary terms. “Furthermore, the E. coli bacterial flagellum simply could not have evolved gradually over time. The bacterial flagellum is an "irreducibly complex" system. An irreducibly complex system is one composed of multiple parts, all of which are necessary for the system to function. If you remove any one part, the entire system will fail to function. Every individual part is integral. There is absolutely no naturalistic, gradual, evolutionary explanation for the bacterial flagellum. (Michael Behe, Darwin's Black Box, 1996.)
I would argue that science, rather than killing off the idea of a creator god, is in actuality only proving his existence.
