ID, your main problem (among many, but most have been elucidated by other posters already, so I'm only addressing this one) is that you get to "God-like intelligence" and then jump to "God." Sure, at least one hopefully rational atheist (the only one I can speak for) believes that there is a (small) non-zero possibility that there is an entity somewhere in this universe that has intelligence that far surpasses any human's. But I do not believe that this hypothetical god-like intelligence 1) has existed forever, 2) can alter the physical universe through non-physical means, or has any of the other powers that any definition if "god" will possess if that god is sufficiently distinct from, well, a "not-god."
Sure, you can incrementally argue intelligence up from a human standard. But you can't do the same with, say, the ability to create matter or to read minds or the like.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
