So the null hypothesis "There is a God that does not interact with gravity or electromagnetism, can deliberately choose to hide from us using His omnipotent will, and knows all actions and thoughts we will ever have" is a completely unfalsifiable proposition. As such, it can never ever become a proper null hypothesis.

Leaving aside God's propensity to hide himself - which most theists don't actually claim as they say the signs of his existence are everywhere in Nature - all you have to to refute the proposition of a Creator-God is to show that the universe was never created but has always existed. Failing that, you just need to show that no Creator-God was required to create the universe.
