    It should be noted that you can prove a negative by disproving the opposite.

    For example, if “god does not exist” is wrong , that means at least one god exists. Arguments here can tackle all sorts of things, since theists usually make other sorts of claims about god and the nature of their existence.

    Further, it is scientifically valid to say “there is no evidence of god”. What you do with that; that’s your call. most will either excuse this fact as a matter of faith or use that lack of evidence as probabilistic proof.

    That is to say, the assertion is modified to “there is probably no god”. If a divine being came down here; I don’t think any one here would outright insist on its non-existence.

    We might dispute the divine aspect. We probably wouldn’t worship it. (Let’s be honest gods are universally assholes. Especially the Christian god.)
