   It's a perfectly valid statement.

   That would seem to be your problem....   
      
    >doesn't actually exist. A person would have to   
   > prove or at least show existence to give the reason why it doesn't   
   > exist. how do you prove nothing?   
      
   And yet you claim to know.....   
      
   See lack of evidence of existence is not the same thing as non-existence.   
      
   Particularly when you have no idea what the nature is of that which you're   
   claiming doesn't exist.   
      
   Let's postulate for a moment that the primordial singularity that gave rise   
   to the Big Bang, was in fact a god.   
      
   That would mean that all matter, all energy, and literally everything that   
   exists is God, and the evidence is literally all around you.   
      
   Now, in such a case with the evidence literally all around you and   
   everything you know....could you find the evidence of god when you don't   
   even understand what the nature of such a god is?   
      
   So you're telling me there is no evidence at all....yet you've not shown   
   there is no evidence. Indeed you can't even tell me what the evidence would   
   need to be so we would even know what we should be looking for.   
      
   If you wish to declare non-existence or even a total lack of   
   evidence....then you've got to back that up by showing that no god exists   
   and/or there is absolutely nothing that exists which would establish god(s)   
   exist.   
      
   So....you made the claim....lets see you back it up.
