I can point to the myths, I can hold the text in my hand. They exist. Now, where are the gods they talk about. we checked this place:

Just so happens, we didn't find any gods. If you have a hot lead, drop it on me.
Well, that's your problem right there. It's not that there isn't any evidence, it's that you aren't looking in the right place. When you say unobserved, unobserved by who?
So far, there's no cogent answer to what even constitutes proof or why, just the repeated insistence that it isn't there. I know it's a sever sore point when folks point out that materialistic atheism is akin to religion as far as being faith-based, but there's a reason why it comes up over and over, and not from fundies. Instead of dismissing it as "not this shit again," it would be interesting to examine why the charge keeps coming up.
