I think there’s a way to prove god non-existent. We would have to prove that our universe (before the big bang model) is in some other form of ‘space’ that existed infinitely into the past. If god is ‘beyond time and space’ like they say, then he’s not on our level. Therefore if we can find an infinite ‘top’ level and prove that he isn’t there, then there’s no way that god could exist. Something that has no beginning can’t have a creator that ’start’s it.
This post was probably downvoted because you’re drastically underestimating how much wiggle room religious apologists have, and so came up with the wrong sort of test, a test which wouldn’t be possible. For starters, things are never proven to an infinite standard, and so the “god of the gaps” approach is viable no matter what experiment you do. Or God could create a simulation perfect enough that those inside cannot tell. And for reasons like having really small telescopes compared to the universe, looking at infinite time scales is hard. Exercise: think up your own way to defend a religious belief from a piece of evidence.
