I am confident that you are well meaning but unfortunately you are
confused at very a fundamental level.  You continue to have a false idea
of Atheism even after several of us have tried to explain it to you. 
You fail to understand that an Atheist does not have to prove the
non-existence of anything.  

Once you understand that the meaning of the term Atheism then perhaps
the conversation might continue.  But I will admit that I can not think
of a way to help you overcome your confusion so I will step aside for a
moment so that perhaps some other participant can explain it to you.
