I can't prove that there is no god any more than I can prove that there is no Flying Spaghetti Monster or that Osama Bin Laden isn't playing poker with Elvis and Bigfoot on some uncharted desert island. Neither can you. Proving God in this world is easy... All you have to do is look around you. It ...
