If it’s important to you that there is historical evidence for a belief in a god, such as a tradition related to a revelation, then the specific versions posited in the past have have been explained away, and that undermines any present reason to believe.
If philosophical arguments about what must be, such as the cosmological argument, are more important to you, then less so because the god believed in is constructed to not be falsified by present known things—but that constructed thing isn’t necessarily unfalsifiable.
God[s] used to be responsible for lots of mysterious lightning bolts, earthquakes, plagues, meteors, biogenesis, schizophrenic episodes, etc. These mysteries were blown away by understanding what they are and what actually causes them, but God itself isn’t a mysterious phenomenon—it’s nothing—so it can’t be explained away by understanding what it actually is.
God?
Substantially but not entirely.

I didn’t call God a mysterious phenomenon. The post asked for examples of mysterious answers.
