If you make a claim, you should provide the proof to support that claim.

If your claim is that "there's no gods," then you're making a claim. The assertion that there are affirmatively no gods at all is in fact just as empirically unfalsifiable as the assertion that there is definitely at least one god. In my opinion, the only reasonable position is to not make any claims about the presence or nonpresence of deities in the first place.

Russel's Teapot is fun, but I prefer Starman's copy of Treasure Planet on DVD. Do you believe that I have a copy of Treasure Planet in my DVD collection? More importantly, if you answer no, is that the same as believing that I don't have a copy of Treasure Planet on DVD? I think it would be equally silly to affirmatively assert that I do in fact have a physical copy of my favorite Disney movie, as it would be to assert that I do not in fact have a copy of it. You would have to come to my house and look at my DVD collection before reasonably making such a claim.

There are no proof of god, there's nothing that suggests that there is a god or gods. There's only claims from some people that they've spoken with one. It's rather like sasquatch and loch Ness monster. It's the only logical conclusion that there's no gods

This funny exercise makes the assumption that I'm too lazy to come visit your house to see if you have that DVD. As soon as I come grab a cup of coffee and a nice piece of sweet pastry with you and check your film collection, I'll see if you were lying or not.

However, maybe this is the time you tell me that you borrowed the film to your cousin who lives abroad rather than admitting the lie. That'd be what Christians have been doing the past 2 millennias as we have made new scientific discoveries that contradicted priests talks about their DVD collections.
