In other words, the claim that a god exists put forth from theists has not met its burden of proof.
Not just that such evidence doesnt' exist, but it is impossible to exist. Claim that states something like "God exists" is not scientifically tested, becaue you can not use hypothetico-deductive method upon that claim.
