Nonsense.
There are multiple competing definitions of "god." First you have to pick one you would even accept as a god if you came across it. So you could have, say, Q running around, simply omnipotent, but not a creator deity, just unable to be overpowered and virtually synonymous with chaos. Is that a god you would accept? Some would, some wouldn't.
Then there are the gods of pantheism (the god of Einstein and Spinoza) and deism (the god of Jefferson and Aristotle); the former is synonymous with "everything that exists" and so is tautological and lacks any real content, and the latter is an undefined being who at no point intervenes in our universe except to initially set everything in motion which makes it impossible to prove or disprove by definition and also gives you no reason to suppose it's even there.
Then you get to relatively "sophisticated" philosophical theism, in which god is defined as a creator being who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. This is just prima facie contradictory, and I have never in my life seen or been able to concoct a reasonable explanation for how these three things can be reconciled (let alone how any of them are coherent in their own right). So, rationalizations for wishful/magical thinking notwithstanding, theism can be summarily jettisoned.
God explains nothing and ultimately just adds to the morass of things to be explained.
