I would find it difficult to make that argument myself - if I accepted that premises of the "invisible this or that". I think that we've all seen things that aren't actually as we see them. Heard things, every one of us has an issue with touch ( a metal pole feels colder than the air on a cold day...but it probably isn't).
I think that you might find that proving anything is a little more difficult than you think - and that there is never any certainty offered even from that which is proven - it's all provisional. What would you feel comfortable calling proven and therefore known in some way that the god proposition cannot be? Can I take a knife to it?
Hmmm...no I don't think you can. I have a hard enough time grasping reality as it is. I think I'd prefer you not take a knife to things I think I thought I knew were real thank you. :p
I guess I'll have to concede that you either can know there are no gods, or you can't know anything.
But then it gets too deep for me. Which is always the end reason why I stick with not caring if gods exist, and not caring if truly knowing anything is even possible. This approach is kinder to my brain.
