Nobody has proven that the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't exist either.

The burden of proof belongs to the person making a claim. Nobody has to prove that God doesn't exist; the onus is on believers to prove that he does. Until evidence clearly demonstrating the existence of God is presented, then the logical position to take is that he doesn't, just as we don't believe that Zeus, Thor, Isis, and the gods of every other ancient religion exist.
