And I would repeat a previous post of mine. At one time people could not prove there were germs or atoms. That did not mean they did not exist. Somebody made a claim of atoms and germs, but had no tangible way of proving it, too. And, again, that did not mean they did not exist.

Sure, but if your only evidence is that we can't prove it DOESN'T exist, then there's not much criteria for truth is there? At that point we have to say well, you can't DISPROVE unicorns, bigfoot, ghosts, a teapot orbiting Saturn, gnomes, smurfs, the flying spaghetti monster, Zues, or a giant that lives on a beanstalk in the clouds.

The only difference in your evidence for "god" and the evidence for those things is that we've been conditioned to believe in god, and it's accepted by our society. The difference in atoms is that they fall in line with everything else we know about the universe. They make sense.
