Quote:I opened the drawer, no horses. They jumped out before i opened the drawer. Impossible you say? Well, according to you, everything is possible....
Oh, you would not have noticed them jumping out> 
What a moron you are.
Okay, okay...I am getting to you on too large a scale...and you are starting to crumle. 
Don't want to do that.
If you want to insist you cannot prove a negative...okay with me. My guess is that every logician in the world would say you are wrong...but...stick with that.
It doesn't change the equation. It still is impossible for anyone to KNOW that there are no gods.
On second thought...don't stick with that ignorant insistence. Learn something from what is going on here. Try to understand that negative assertions CAN be proved false...but not if they encompass a huge scope.
One cannot logically say, "There are no sentient creatures living on any planet circling the nearest 25 stars to Sol." The scope is too big for a proof.
The guess may be correct. There may be no gods...there may be no sentient creatures on any of those planets. But it is just a guess. There is no way (at the present time) to prove it).
