My credentials are irrelevant if I am able to disprove it. Doing it
makes me competent of doing it, and I did it.
Only if I tried and failed could you conclude that this is because of
my incompetence. 
Besides, one doesn't even need any knowledge of physics in order to
disprove your theory; elementary logic and philosophy are more than
sufficient.

It's very simple. Let's replace "God" with "unicorn", in order to make
an illustration. 

Unicorn is defined as a being that looks like a horse with a horn on
its forehead.

There are people who believe that there is a unicorn.

You discovered an animal that has feathers and wings, two legs and a
beak.

You call this animal "unicorn", and you attempt to show these people
that you found proof for their belief. But, since this animal doesn't
fit the existing definition of a unicorn, calling it a unicorn is
semantically and philosophically meaningless. You must find another
name for it. 

That's about it. I didn't need any knowledge of physics, only a sharp
mind.
