I'm not trained in formal logic, but from a logical point of view what I understand this statement is not tenable. You have the verb "to be" in this sentence (contracted into "there's") and this is the 'is' of existence.

So what you're saying is that 1) there exists a totality of things, and 2) none of these things is God.

For this statement to be possible you would need to know all things.

And since I can point to the movie "Bruce Almighty", in which God is a character, I can indeed assert that there is such a thing as God, at least in that case.
