No, it is not.

No it's not. God is the driving force behind the whole universe and reality. Your water melon tits can be disproved by science and are simply perverse.

Physics, gravity, those are the things behind the universe. This universe did not need a god to get started or flourish. My watermelon-cannon can't be disproved. It only works when I wanted to and purposefully leaves no trace so that my secret identity can be maintained. I'm also a superhero.

Good point. That's apatheism, preferable to atheism in my opinion.

You give a strong argument for the pixies, I might change my religion.

That doesn't explain how the universe was created, God does.

You seem to be under the false impression that 'atheism' is the claim that there is no god. It's not. Atheism is the lack of belief in your claim that there is a god. That's why we have nothing to prove. Should I prove that I don't believe your claim? That's just silly.

No, god doesn't explain how the universe "was created".....lol, wtf? Your god explains what a specific group of people believed in, that's as far as it goes.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

"My god is a possibility or nothing can be proven", sorry, your say-so isn't compelling enough to sway the cosmos amigo. The moment you invoked complete and utter solipsism (even going so far as to question ones own existence) you ruled out any measure of knowledge of your own god along the exact same lines you had hoped would afford the notion a kernal of credibility. This includes any statements of knowledge with regards to the probability or possibility of any given thing. Now, I don't buy it. But I do find it amusing that you felt compelled to resort to such in an attempt to elevate your deity to the level of "as probable as a tooth fairy".

Wow! How did I miss this post!

OK, let me tell you why you're wrong.

Only to humans, not to God. Otherwise yes - nothing can be known for certain.

Do yourself a favor, take the time out of your day to watch this video, it's long, but veeeery good. It's a lecture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo This will explain to you better than I could.
