Science deals with the physical world. God is Spirit. Therefore, science is not an appropriate tool with which to evaluate God's interactions with this world.

In other words, scientific experiments having to do with God are a waste of time.

That's one way of looking at it. For me, it's just recognizing that whether God is Spirit or physical (as in Jesus), He is sentient. You can't look at empirical actions based on petitions with an assumed motive as the basis of a scientific experiment.

That would be true if you assumed that God has no interactions with this world... i.e. if you're a Deist. But there are relatively few of those. Far more people believe in miracles... a valid subject for scientific inquiry.
