Would someone please show me through the scientific method how God does not exist, taking me through each of the steps?
What gave you the idea the scientific method disproves God?
Sounds like a religionist's ploy to me.
Science: proving how but not why. Religions: speculating how and why.

I don't think anyone can do that. Luckily, it's not necessary to do that to conclude that God, in the normal sense people think of Him, probably does not exist.
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. At one time people believed that a deity was the best explanation (or the only explanation) of phenomena that we can now explain perfectly well without reference to any invisible entities. Those phenomena once would've been considered evidence for God's existence; they are now nothing special.
It's possible to save God from nonexistence by sufficiently lowering the bar for what you consider to be divinity.

No.
The scientific method also does not prove the non-existence of leprechauns, extant tyrannosaurs, or Darth Vader. Happily, most people don't feel compelled to believe in the existence of any of those things on the completely nonsensical basis that the scientific method has not proved their non-existence.

The difference is that there is no reason to believe IN the "existence of leprechauns, extant tyrannosaurs, or Darth Vader." But that there is ample reason to believe that there IS a Source for the existence of everything in our reality, how it functions, how it is controlled (physical and chemical "laws." etc.) and how it evolves and is maintained(extremely God-like attributes relative to us). So attributing that Source to God is not remotely similar to your examples of non-existent things.
