There is nothing irrational about believing there may be a superior immaterial being outside of ourselves, especially since we have not made our own existence or can will it to stop existing.

This is basically true.
I think the problem comes when you examine explanations that used to be attributed to God or Godlike beings that are now explained by science and technology.
The probability that the causes of current unknown phenomenon will be discovered by science increases with every new discovery while simultaneously decreasing the probability that God will maintain his place as the explanation for everything.
If this is fallacious, please point out how.
