You could indeed, and of course we are. You would be wilfully and demonstrably wrong, but if that's what you want your life to be then go for it. You're pointing to things and concepts that can be demonstrated and upon which we would be irrational to disagree, then pointing to another concept (the universe is God) and claiming without any attempt at justification that it is the same as the others by default. That is so horrendously flawed, it's actually painful to watch.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
