I never said we couldn't. But even if we found the cause of the existence of everything (assuming there was one), and it wasn't god, its still impossible to rule out that God just set all of that into motion. The likelihood gets smaller and smaller, and god's influence gets smaller and smaller, but its physically impossible to actually disprove it. There will always be a smaller hole for a creator-being to crawl into. Which is why "nobody has disproved god" is a meaningless sentence.

You'll find God there, scientifically or not.
I mean, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but it sure seems like you believe a god exists when you say something like that, no?
As for the rest of what you said... that's irrelevant. The problem is that it could be (and IMO is) physically impossible for literally nothing to exist. We simply don't know, as we don't know what came before or caused the big bang. The concept of nothingness is a whole complicated philosophical debate. Saying "erm, things exists, therefore god" makes no sense.
Besides, god is 'something'. You have the same problem regardless.
Maybe we could throw an ifunny watermark on the bottom first.
It is, quite literally, physically impossible to completely disprove that a god exists. Just like it's physically impossible to disprove that space outside of the observable universe is actually made up of infinite tiny rainbow unicorns.
How would you disprove something you can't interact with?
Nobody thinks our current understanding is perfect. But, just because we don't know everything, doesn't mean we need to entertain wild ideas without a lick of evidence. Sure, there could be supernatural explanations for things. But any other time we've previously thought something was caused by the supernatural, it was proven to not be. Every. Single. Time. Why bet on the horse that's lost 1,000 races?
Why do things exist? Who knows? I sure don't. Being able to admit you don't know everything is humbling, you should try it some time.
Something you don't know, for example, is whether or not it would be easier for nothing to exist. How could you possibly know that? Maybe that's true, maybe it's literally impossible. Yet here you are pretending you know for a fact that it's true.
Enjoy your god of the gaps, though.
Perhaps, with them no longer being able to easily upload clips to twitter from consoles, they'll be less inclined to participate on twitter. I agree it's not going to change much, though. I wonder how many people were even using this built-in integration anyway?
I'm betting the number is "wherever you become addicted to masturbating and/or porn". If you're masturbating frequently enough to cause any real health problems, you're likely well past that point.
No, Ralph's hat exists outside of time and space. It is beyond our comprehension.
I've never experienced addition either, luckily. From what I understand, you become more and more reliant on the substance, to the point where you literally cannot function if you don't smoke that cigarette. Depression, lack of sleep, constant grumpiness, they're all withdrawal symptoms for a reason. At the same time, it heavily affects your judgement and decision-making abilities, making it incredibly difficult to resist the urge to light a cigarette.
Now imagine trying to quit. You're depressed, haven't slept right in three days, and a cigarette can instantly give you that boost of dopamine you so desperately want and need. Besides, it's just one cigarette, right? How bad could it hurt? I can't blame anybody for failing to quit. Quitting an addiction sounds like hell, and I'm glad I've never needed to experience it.
I currently live in a society where trans and gay rights are constantly under attack by religious folk simply because a 'holy book' supposedly says they're sinners (despite it never mentioning trans people). Forgive me for not feeling sorry for the religious.
Besides, you're in an atheist community. What do you expect us to talk about?
