I'm not a religious person I am however a theist because in my opinion we are the result of a Creator. However if a significant preponderance of evidence persuaded me there is no Creator, I'd still think humans are special and would probably adopt some form of humanist credo, there is much I agree with in the humanist credos anyway.
Nora,
That depends on the standard of proof. Neither scientifically or legally do we hold a standard of proof that is irrefutable and absolute. In a civil matter a mere preponderance of evidence is sufficient to prove something. In that case proving something is merely providing enough evidence in favor of something as opposed to it. In criminal case the standard is beyond a reasonable doubt. To prove something scientifically you have to create an experiment that proves your point and can be repeated by others.
Hmmm why is it a theorhetical situation if you 'know' without a doubt god has never existed? Why not just inform us of the information and facts you have that lead you to conclude without a doubt God doesn't exist and be done with it?

What i am proposing is a theoretical situation, if there was a measurable factor that proved to theists that god does not exist. ,
