I agree that we shouldn't think much on things like "Does God exist?". But to say that something doesn't exist because we can't define it sounds ilogical . It's likr saying , the things that we can perceive with our unevolved minds are the only things that exist.( I'm not reffering just to God)
It's not saying that something with the characteristics of a god does not exist, but specifically what they think of God does not exist because all it is is a nebulous concept.
If they try defining their god then it ceases to be God. It then becomes an alien, or a pattern of energy and matter subject to physical laws or more likely logically inconsistent and therefore impossible. The concept of God is a placeholder for where there is ignorance. It's the equivalent of here be dragons.
