I'm curious, what's your agenda here?
The question makes no sense, in fact any attempt to answer it highlights the idiosyncrasy inherent in what one is prepared to accept as 'proof', for some it's butterflies in their stomach in church for others it's empirical evidence. Unless you state your prerequisites for proof you are setting anyone who attempts to answer this to fail. It's badly worded and obviously loaded.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
