It all hinges on how we're defining the word "god". If it's the big G one of the bible, and it is exactly as described in there - creating the Universe in six days, fixing tiny lamps for the stars into the dome of the sky, making man out of dust and woman out of a bone, flooding the whole planet over the course of a month's rainfall - we can say with as much certainty as we can know anything that that god never existed. As Colonel Ingersoll put it, "They knew no better, but I do not propose to follow the example of a barbarian because he was honestly a barbarian". But a generic god entity that primitive goatherders interpreted as big G and developed a whole mythology around? You tell me.
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.'
