This is exactly why those ridiculous claims like the Invisible Pink Unicorn exist, as you cannot prove the non-existence of the IPU, I personally despise such people that come up with lies just to make a point, but this is why it was done. Science in general seems to go with the notion not to make up things to explain everything around you. You need to come up with the reproducible, verifiable evidence for the possible existence first. There is no proving something does not exist.
Exactly, so why should I believe an argument that has no basis? I have every reason to believe my own experience and no reason to disbelieve other accounts. I can't say heaven or hell exists exactly as described by each individual testimony of such things but I can believe their experiences until it is disproven. Who am I to say they are wrong without proof?
