If God is real, then it may be that literally everything you measure or observe has God written on it. In this case, God is so ubiquitous that the God idea fails to differentiate anything from anything else. And that's what detection is-- noticing things that stand out of the background of space in some way.What is something that is part of everything, that we can't detect at all? And how would we know about it.
What are quarks made of?

How do you know that god isn’t an entity?
I don't know that, but most definitions of god do not include being contained in any way, let alone in the universe. But let me ask you this-- if you detect anything at all, how do you know you aren't detecting a part of god? In a pantheistic world view, that would be the case.
