I'd ask Dawkins this question: "Science is built on induction, which entails searching out things in the world and drawing generalized conclusions about those things based on observation. Whenever science is unable to prove that something exists, it merely states that the object might exist but that there is no scientific evidence supporting that claim. Scientists can only draw conclusions on what they find, not on what they can't find so how, exactly, can a scientist claim that God doesn't exist? I've yet to see a scientist openly claim that aliens don't exist because they've never seen one."

Richard Dawkins might reply: God is a scientific improbability along the same likeliness as my own farts learning how to read or my cell phone acting as a time machine. Those who embrace god as reality are deluded. The argument that you cannot disprove god is probably the weakest of all god arguments. It proves nothing except that the arguer is able to believe in something absent of ANY proof. It's as safe to claim that God doesn't exist as it is to claim that I've wasn't hatched from an egg. If someone seriously accused me of hatching from an egg, you'd say, "No, he was born". You'd be right. If someone said that God is real and I said, "No he isn't", I'd be right.
