It's actually worse than that, since gods are invariably designed to be perpetually undetectable. Believers always place them just beyond the reach of any investigation, scientific or otherwise.

"And lo, it came to pass that St Imbo marked the second millennium with a shiny new medal. And the multitudes rejoiced, and did feast upon the beasts of the field and the birds of the air, particularly the ossifrage which was deemed by all to taste a bit like chicken. And the mead was plentiful, and the birds were well up for it, and the fornicating thereafter left nothing to the imagination I can tell you."
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.'
