And any number of experiments you could conduct to bear out your hypothesis
that God does not exist would be absolutely valid, this is true. I would hope,
though, that a theoretical physicist would accept that even though they've
proven something to the extent that they can with the information available to
them, that there is always room for new information, and that something might
come along and prove their theory wrong.
I take no issue with well-proven theories being accepted as fact until
something comes along, if ever, to disprove them. Without that, few if any of
the things in this world that we believe to be true could actually be counted
upon to be so. However, just because nobody is looking for proof of certain
things doesn't mean that the proof might not be out there.
