In some bizarre way I agree with you...
However the things we would each mean by this statement are extremely different.

To me the meaning of the statement is "the existence of God is evidenced by the effects it creates". The same logic is used in physics and social science.
And it can also be applied to other beings such as the boogeyman (Because of the boogeyman, a child will pull the sheets over his head tonight before falling asleep).

All it proves is that God is an idea.
But that does lead us to the question of "Are ideas real?" and if so "What is the nature of the reality of ideas?"
