Absolutely true! We can't prove that "God" does not exist. Now, if we follow your line of reasoning, we should also believe in the Tooth Fairy, leprechauns, mermaids, dragons, Hobbits and witches. Can you not see how ridiculous your position is?
Normal logic:
"I have a cowboy hat!"
"Oh, yeah? Prove it."
(Holds up cowboy hat) "Here it is."
"Okay, you do have a cowboy hat."
Creationist logic:
"I have a cowboy hat!"
"Oh, yeah? Prove it."
"You can't prove I don't!"
Is that an underhand attack aimed at my hat? Are you implying it is not a black hat, but rather the absence of hat?
