Sounds like a reasonable explanation.

Since plenty of creatures have no SR, it's safe to say that bypassing it is hardly that big a deal. The reason a creature has spell resistance instead of spell immunity is because it's intended to be circumventable. And we are talking about a 20th-level ability for Pete's sake.

Right. If creatures with SR were supposed to be untouchable by spells, they'd be golems. For what is essentially an epic-level ability, it's fine, especially if it's only useful during a surprise round. How exactly do you propose to surprise a deity anyway?

Easy. Have the rest of the party beat him/her unconcious and then wehn the god's regeneration wakes him/her they should be surprised and flat-footed.

See how easy it is?

Oh right, the Rodney King manoeuvre! Why didn't I think of that? Man, those gods won't know what hit them. Well, they will, but they'll be surprised.
