Could you expand on that first sentence? If you meant to say that it
is impossible to prove by logic the existence or nonexistence of gods,
then many (1) theists would surely agree, but if you mean that it has
been proven that gods do not or can not exist, it seems unlikely that
any theist would agree(2). If you know of such a proof could you
sketch it here, or pass a reference?
1 - but not Descartes, of course.
2 - not that the agreement of theists is a condition on the validity
of the proof.
