So if the existence of God exists beyond the tools of science (i.e. empiricism) then maybe it's not God that's the problem, but the tool I've been using to try and find him.

You haven't really said anything of substance. You stated there are are other ways of "knowledge" and pretty broadly touched a gay little pinky finger on the concept of epistemology to sound smart and open minded, but you really aren't saying anything worth addressing. If you think you can find God outside of empiricism, be my guest -- enjoy your new burden of proof.
Also let's not forget any experiences you may have had that were, say, "mind blowingly sureal."
