A positive claim is one that affirms a something, not a nothing. If you claim there is an actual something... then that is a claim. Claiming "nothing" does not and never can be substantiated.
If you wish to stick with this line of reasoning I think we can all conclude that your arse is where your face should be
Meaningless waffle.

Try this one: there is no method of leaving my bathroom that is incompatible with the existence of Canis Major.
Whilst it is true that a giant star does not need to be compatiable with you leaving your bathroom, there are enough things attributed to god that may not be compatiable with scientific theory, such as creating the earth in 6 days, Adam and Eve yada, yada, yada.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
