That does not preclude the existence of a god. It simply discounts the creation/afterlife myths of countless faiths. God may still exist.
It's not an unreasonable position to accept the facts and reality that science brings and still believe in a god. The two are not mutually exclusive, and never have been in truth.
And I say that as a strong agnostic.

Yes but what would that god look like?
and what reason would you have for suspecting its existence?
I suppose any fact based claim that there still could be a good is reduced to the moment of creation and the need for cause. But that would leave the claimant with the burden of explaining the cause of this proposed creator. It's an overly complex claim that doesn't really explain anything, when we can just say we do not yet understand the cause of everything. The null hypothesis is just better and should be assumed.
Personally I am a fan of the theory that there is some kind of negative energy inherent in a state of void, and some day we be able to explain why something is physically required to burst forth from nothingness, but that is speculation (just better speculation the the idea there could be a god).
