There is no sumo wrestler in my fridge.

Good one! :-)

Sorry though it doesn't negate my point that science can not prove a negative. To prove, as in your example that sumo wrestlers do not exist, would require you to search the universe looking for a sumo wrestler. While you were looking in in one galaxy, the sumo wrestlers could have just left and be one galaxy ahead of you. Besides sumo wrestlers aren't God.

There are at least two problems with proving God doesn't exist:

1. No one defines God in enough detail to find him. 2. If you did define him, he is supernatural and can change the next second, so you would be looking for the wrong thing.

God had defined Himself in Scripture.

And He doesn’t change.

BTW, people find Him everyday, and their lives are transfomed forever.

No, I just have to look in my fridge. Can't you read?
