No one has the ability to prove that they actually hold a point of view. Words are pretty meaningless. I could say I was a christian, I could go to church and wave my hands in the air, and I could fall to my knees and cry apparent tears of conviction ... but that wouldn't prove I was a christian.
Unless science finds a way for you to infallibly read my thoughts -- but trust me, I don't think you'd want to -- I couldn't *prove* to you without a shadow of a doubt that I am an atheist. Just like you couldn't prove to me that you are whatever you are.
This just doesn't apply to religion. I could tell you that my favorite food is spinach and ricotta cheese pizza, but how could I possibly prove to you that there's not a food out there somewhere that I like better?

I have met plenty of atheists who can prove they are just that.
Atheist. A person who does not believe in God... or however they want to put it.
Is your question really "Blah blah blah... atheist prove that their atheism is right?" Or that there is no God?
I am just curious in what way is your question a good representation of that 147 IQ? Or did you just want to say..."Hey I have 147 IQ" and that makes me really smart, thereby disproving the notion that anyone who believes in a God is dumb.

How can you prove that you're, indeed, NOT a retard?
I never managed to play baseball on my own.
Unless (as must be the case for you) the ball is tethered to the bat.
(Since when do they have Internet service in nuthouses?)

No, and I've also never met anyone who can prove they get hungry. You only have someone's word to go on (at least until we fully understand the brain and can read your thoughts electronically).

In that case, I don't think you know what an atheist is. Either that or youir just willing to resort to any stupid argument in a desperate attempt to justify your religion!

I cannot disprove the existence of God.
But- I can prove that I'm absolutely positively certain that I don't believe a god exists.

Ok, not really sure you understand how illogical your question is. But, I am also not in the mood to really explain it either. And, any explantion would likely fall on deaf ears anyway.

If our existence is improbable so much so that a supreme being had to create us, then I say that the creation of a supreme being is that much more improbable.
If we are so complicated that a God had to create us, then isn't the creation of a god that much more complicated? I mean come on!!! This is basic logic!

Interesting question. They do not have to prove it to anyone. They only have to deny God and they are Atheists. : )
God respects our choices. That is why He gave us our free will. : )
