Can you disprove any imaginary being though? You can't disprove fairies are real, really, other than to say there is no evidence to prove their existence, and point to the fact that they are only mentioned in known fictional books.
So you can't really disprove the existence of a fictional being, but you should always be able to conclusively prove the existence of a factual, real, being!
Not being able to prove god is real therefore is a massive clue, if you ask me.
Whoever coined the phrase "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" wants a slap, because quite often absence of evidence is evidence of absence.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
