No, you're totally misrepresenting what atheism is about. The atheist position would be "I don't see enough proof you're a movie star, so I don't believe that you are who you say you are."
You keep falling into this illogical conclusion that an atheist is only an atheist if they claim that no gods can or ever will exist. If you can't understand that atheism is only being without belief in a god, then you're either being willfully ignorant, unable to understand basic concepts, or just being stubborn on purpose.

OK, so I vote for willful ignorance mixed with being stubborn on purpose. As such, since you're not willing to learn what atheism really is, there's no more reason to talk to you.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
