It's not up to me to disprove it, you're making the claim that materialism is correct. I'm questioning why you view it as correct.
All those who subscribe to materialism may as well state "I know what I know and anything I don't know doesn't exist", it fails to address the limitations of humanity and the unknown/unknowable. Hardly very illuminating from a philosphical perspective, but very useful if you need certainty.
Quote:Everything that we know exists has evidence for it, that is how we know it exists.
There are many things in this universe that we don't have knowledge of, life on other planets, physical laws that we are yet to discover, many, many species on this very planet which we are yet to identify.
But until such time as we do have evidence for them we have no reason to think they exist.
And the same goes for your god.
Your logic is faultless and I find it amusing that you feel the need to make the statement: "Everything that we know exists has evidence for it, that is how we know it exists.."
Your approach suggests your preference for no god, which is fine if that's your goal, but there's no point claiming your position offers something of value, insights and objective view for anyone away from the materialist's flock. I have no idea why materialists promote their position. It's as basic as "stupid is as stupid does", no pun intended.
