Actually the probability of the existence of a unicorn can be assessed. We have to identify the possible regions in genetic space where a horn protein could mutate (and the horn has been found to be a rare mutant in many mammals), decide if these regions are befitting of a horse, and then test the blood of the horse for any indications of parasite resistance or synthesizing telomerase in soma cells.

Can any such experiments be done on the existence of a god?

Well...you're adding different context to the unicorn. I'm talking about the general concept of a beautiful horse with a horn on its head. Now, the mythological contexts are something separate.

Of course, the mythological claims related to unicorns are far less extraordinary than the claims associated with most deities.
