No. I have done quite a lot of observations on the world. Each and every one of those observations has produced a result congruent with a world in which no gods exist, and so has very slightly nudged my P(god) towards zero. Under a Bayesian philosophy, this probability is called knowledge.

Then you have to assume that god fudges with the physics so you can catch him at it. Which means that all faiths on the world must assume a god would interfere in a situation that you utterly and completely observed and understood. Because otherwise there might be a true god from some religion who just doesn't care about you.
