Well actually you can prove that dragons and leprechauns don't exist. These kind of examples that get thrown out are just flippant. They're mythical creatures (emphasis on creatures), they don't exist, they never existed in any literal sense. If they did exist they would exist as flesh and blood and it's relatively easy to take a look around and see that, nope, they aren't there (setting aside the difficulties of keeping track of species with very few members).
God is a very different proposition.
You can't prove that they never existed. There are millions of creatures that have existed on Earth that we haven't yet, or possibly never will, find evidence for. The example stands. I can change it to Thor if it makes you feel better.
"They're mythical, they don't exist, they never existed in any literal sense."
I don't know how this is relevant. Every other god except yours would fall into this category too, no?
