The possibility that God exists never required justification. Failure to prove that something is false means the possibility of it being true exists, however minute or lacking in evidence.
This does not justify the existence of God - only that an external set of laws outside of our time domain may apply to our universe, a concept I don't think anyone has bothered disputing. God, as most people take Him, is considered a sentient, omniscient, omnipotent being.
As for dismissing supernatural ideas, this is usually not a product of ignorance, but rather arrogance, which, I would like to point out, many intellectuals are entitled to. After all, we haven't proven that humans don't have wings, or can't walk on water. Every trial and every physical law we have has shown that such cases simply shouldn't occur - but we can't prove that they absolutely can't occur, so the possibility exists. However, in these cases, the possibility is so small so as to be nonexistant in practical terms. Until we see it happen, it is safer to assume it impossible than the other way around.
