There was no higgs boson before it was proven there was one? Or did it come into existence when it was hypothesised? Or perhaps it's always existed and has been outside the possible realm of human knowledge.
I agree there's absolutely no reason to believe in a supernatural being. But I think believing the opposite is just that, a belief. If you want to be scientific and remain internally consistent you have to admit that the god question falls outside the realm of possible knowledge and is therefore an irrelevant conversation.
It's up to the religious to provide us with a falsifiable experiment to prove god, this much is true. However, to claim you have knowledge of a lack of god is unscientific.
