While I think your reason - there is no evidence for god where there should be - is a bit of evidence itself against there being a god I don't think it goes as far as saying there is for sure no god, your counter that defeats all arguments for god... well I don't think its a good one honestly, your giving a god you don't believe actually exist attributes and you have no evidence he actually has these attributes if he were to exist, if there is a god we can't be sure he has what we would know as a brain, we wouldn't know how he functions at all, it would likely be beyond our comprehension at this time. Just because we have no evidence that something can't think without a brain doesn't mean it isn't possible because we don't know everything. Keep reading on these forums and check out some atheist literature or shows like the atheist experience there isn't a single argument that defeats all arguments for god, from what I have seen there simply isn't enough evidence for me to believe that a god exist although again I don't make the claim he doesn't exist.
I don't claim that a God with no brain is impossible but it doesn't seem very likely. Worse than Santa Claus because at least Santa has a brain. If there is no evidence where there should be for something then that thing likely doesn't exist. I disagree that it doesn't defeat all arguments for God because you can just say "how can God do that without a brain or neurons" e.g. "how can God create a universe without a brain or neurons"
'God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.' This is just one of the mysteries.
Bearing in mind, of course, that when a theist says 'mystery', they mean, 'I haven't a fucking clue. Please go away.'
