I don't mean to come across as an arsehole but people managed to figure out a hell of a lot about the Universe before the HST (pictures too; plenty of stunning photos and very accurate pencil sketches going back centuries). Homework for the day: ask yourself why the Space Telescope was named Hubble.
As has already been pointed out, comparing something like your pet god to the wind just because both are invisible to the eye is, I'm sorry to say, something I'd expect even my seven-year-old niece would find childish. Yes, we can only see the effects of wind. However, we know what wind is, what it's made of, how it behaves - at least to all practical extent - and can even make it ourselves (I wish there was more of it around here just at the moment, though, before we all melt). On the other hand, to continue your anal orgy* analogy, what is your god made of? How does it behave and how can we know this?
* Bloody autocorrect...
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.'
