I agree that the evidence for the Abrahamic God not existing is immensely strong (which makes me extremely certain such a god does not exist), but I can't say with a good degree of confidence that a deistic God does not exist.
No one has any knowledge of this hypothetical being (or essence?), nor could we unless it suddenly became interested in revealing itself to us (or might we discover it? Catch it off guard, in a trillion year sleep perhaps?). And then we might find that God is a totally inappropriate term. It may be limited by the same or similar constraints that we are, granted it's a very intelligent organism which can create "design spaces" called "universes." But who's to say man will never accomplish such a feat? Would that actually make us gods? To our subjects perhaps but again, if God simply means "superior being," then my point obviously doesn't apply.
