While this may be true according to some conceptions of God (personified and material God seems to be a fairly common belief, especially among laymen) most philosophical descriptions of God tend towards a "First Mover"-theory. That is, God created the universe, and the universe played out according to his creation.

This definition of God is certainly compatible with all scientific advances because, by definition, this God is beyond the measure of science.

I happen to find this belief rather boring and derivative of Plato (a natural world and a supernatural world, each separate and uncrossable except that the natural world is really just a poor reflection of the ideal and perfect supernatural world? Where have I heard that before?), but it's certainly not incompatible with science.
