Atheistic Lions

According to Reuters:*

KIEV (Reuters) – A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on Monday.

"The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," the official said.

So, can we consider the question of the existence of God settled now in the negative? The Argument by Lion has to be logically at least as sound as the Argument from Design.
