Sorry to jump back a little here:
If you can't prove your god, and you know that, then it's game over. Thanks for playing.
See, it's like a courtroom scene. The accusation is "God exists". The defense asks you to prove it. You admit you can't, so the case ends there by being thrown out. You don't get to win the game by throwing the cards into the fire and pretending you were playing dice all along.

You can't "prove God" and you can't prove your materialist philosophy either so it's a stalemate.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
