If God created the universe
But is there a universe? I see only a physical reality.
that would be a fact about physics that would be very interesting to
know, and I see no reason in principle we couldn't detect it;
If there was a God creating a Universe, he might be unable to belong
to its creation, a bit like the set of all set is not a set.
But I am a super-atheist with respect to such idea. I have no evidence
for *such* a god, nor such a creation.
and if He was constantly tinkering with His creation as many think
then He would be even easier to detect. But we see nothing.
I keep stuck with one (very special) notion of god.

That makes no sense. The word "nonfiction" is useful but it only
describes something in contrast to "fiction".
