Are you aware that you are presupposing your conclusion? If you make your metaphysical assumptions and definitions appropriately, disproving God would be possible as in your short argument :) The problem is that neuroscience doesn't even tell us which position in philosophy of mind is "scientifically" correct by itself. (Although it seems to discredit a host of such theories!) Is anomalous monism correct? Is machine functionalism correct? etc. etc. In that case, how can we go ahead and make an ontological argument out of it? Trust me that it would be much more involved :)
