There is a dead elephant to prove it.
If he had simultaneously ran DC to a 'control' elephant and it remained unharmed, you might be on the way to proving something.
If scientists want to be taken seriously, they need to stop arguing the existence of a deity when 85% of the world's population believes in one.
Science has no opinion on the existence of God except where it is presented as a testable question (which it never is). Also, if you believe stuff just because other people believe it you're doomed to eternal ignorance.
If scientists want to be taken seriously, they have to stop worrying what stupid people think.
Don't worry, by and large, scientists give not a single fuck what 'stupid' people think. It might be better if they did, but they don't.
Creation, evolution... it is all based on belief since you can't prove either. No body knows for sure how dinosaurs all died.
Decent troll attempt. Evolution is a fact, creation is a big pile of bollocks. Turns out they're really different and you apparently know fuck all, because you equate them.
Having actually been outside the USA I was totally surprised when I found fat people.
Yeah there are fat people everywhere where there is enough food to get fat on. Most people would figure that out as kids. Well - you got there in the end so well done you.
Sure there are some good lessons in there wrt morality, etc
It sure is good to occasionally remember in the modern world that selling, for example, your daughter into slavery is A-OK. As is slavery in general of course. Failing to trim the hair on the side of your head is RIGHT fucking OUT (obviously). And having a rebellious son should definitely result in the entire village stoning them to death. Honestly, where would we be without the Bible's moral guidance.
The real problem is, in an infinite, probabilistic universe, even the smallest chance that God exists is a certainty.
That might be a problem for you. But the universe is 13 and a bit billion years old, and maybe somewhere around 100 billion light years in diameter. So it fails the infinity test.
You would also have to specify what God you're talking about. I would be more than a little surprised if it turned out to be one made up by bronze age goat herders on an unremarkable blue planet around an unremarkable yellow sun in an unremarkable galaxy.
