The problem with this approach is that an infinite number of things can be
argued to be (possibly) existent. You can never prove the inexistence of
the inexistent because it's inexistent. If you were to analyse these
assertions logically, you'd probably get stuck in a recursion.

But a point can be made here to say that, just as another so-called universe
is isolated and undetectable, so is God. However, religion speaks of a God
that is live, involved, and in control of everything.
