Unless I’m misunderstanding something.
I think a better analogy to the possibility of the existence of god comes from literature and history, not biology and science.

It's closer akin to the history of the Trojan War, the existence of the Anatolian Hittite Empire, the neo-Babylonian Empire, or the Judean Davidic Dynasty—all of which were considered complete fabrications until archaeological excavations and surveys beginning in the 19th century. So, if there is eventual compelling evidence for something like a "god" it will enter the realm of whatever it is we at that point consider to be the natural world, but will almost certainly bear little if any resemblance to the stories and ideas about god from history.
