Of course, as that would also require evidence which doesn't exist.
But it is worth noting that all negative existence claims (of this nature) are meaningless (as to know that you would need to know everything in the universe) - it's a impossibility. What should be taken with a pinch of salt is that this line of reasoning can be used for anything. My lack of belief in the modern Christian god is identical to that of any of the gods of old or in history, the fact one is more popular today doesn't give it any more feasibility (comparatively that is).
The only negative existence claims we can prove are ones of a physical nature within our ability to measure, as most god/gods are proposed to reside in a realm outside of our physical understanding the chance of proving otherwise is zero.
This is also true of claims of existence, for the reasons you propose. (Personally I wouldn't use the definitive 'doesn't exist', rather 'has yet to be demonstrated/discovered")
To all intents and purposes would you agree therefore that the question "Does God exist?" is meaningless?
