Perhaps. I think about this, and most things, as a pendulum, swinging back and forth. For the time our known science is advancing on our known universe, explaining the pluto is red or showing us the monsters under the seas. But what happens when our science reaches a point where it expands our universe? When we come across some outside life that is so different from what we ever thought possible that our theories race far beyond our capacity for understanding? Suddenly we find ourselves again in a place where we are impossibly small and "not we" is impossibly big. We'll call it something other than God, but we'll still cling to that core concept of a placeholder to help us sleep at night. That's my theory anyway.
