Again, I was talking about specific gods; i.e. those that are described by their actions.
The god who created the world in 6 days in the Bible does not exist (because the world was not created in 6 days).
This doesn't imply that the God of the bible does not exist, or that any other description of god does not exist, just this one. The only clues we have to go on concerning the existence of gods are the actions that are placed on them. If these actions are false, the god that the action is placed upon is false.
If multiple actions are placed upon a god, and one of those actions is disproven, then that specific godly action is false, and that affects the god overall.
In other words, people used to believe that their God created the world in 6 days, made a flood that killed people, can listen to prayers, etc. The actions of creation in 6 days and the flood are false, so the god described above it false, leaving us with a god who can listen to prayers (the test for this is as impossible as any other test for god).
