Absolutely, just like a particular spec of dust on a far off moon of a small rocky planet orbiting a star 20,000 lightyears away exists outside of our knowledge. Some things simply aren't contingent upon minds, their existence is independent of the ability of any sentient being to know of or believe in them.
What we don't have regarding God is a reason to believe in his existence, that is what is of interest here.

No one got a sheet of paper and a #2 pencil and tried to draw an animal with no known PARTS, no known SHAPE, and no known COLOR. IronicAlchemist has shown a picture of what looks like either a squid with 2 big balls or spaghetti and meatballs with eyes. That goes against the homework. You are to use no known PARTS, no known SHAPE, and no known COLOR. I see color that we all know about. You all have proven that to describe or to speak about something that does not exist cannot be done.
Woah, shockingly bad logic...
Do you think that trick question is clever? If you want us to draw something of no known colour then by definition nobody is going to see it. Besides, what was our inability to draw a conceptually impossible thing supposed to demonstrate?
Also, an inability to describe impossible entity x does not mean that we cannot talk about logically possible entities that don't exist. A 43,000 foot high Tricycle is a possible thing that does not exist and we can talk about it, describe it etc, so you have in no way demonstrated that which is possible to conceive of actually exists.
Here's a challenge for you: Present us with a coherent and comprehensive description of your God.
