If that isn't the case any more that's a step in the right direction. universes definitely exist, it's nothing more than an untested hypothesis.
That's right - theists do that. Not atheists.

Why do you consider it a weak argument then?

Yes I am aware the demarcation between what is 'supernatural' and what is natural is at best a moving target. Essentially the supernatural is something that can't happen unless it does happen in which case it is natural whatever that means.
If you believe that, then your position on god should be "he can't exist unless he can be shown to exist in which case he is not god but simply an advanced entity".
