By it's very unknowable nature, the existence of God cannot be proven. Legitimacy is based on the requirement of faith.

The argument can never be won, because neither side will be deterred from their original stance. Each dismisses the other viewpoint because "they simply don't understand" and the chasm between is too great to bridge.

The flying spaghetti monster can't be proven. - Does that mean it has legitimacy because a few select individuals have faith in it?

No. No it doesn't.

The fact is... Anything that can be substantiated via the scientific method is the only thing that has any kind of legitimacy, religion is far removed from any of that.

Pardon me im no pastafarian, but i again dislike your tone.

Believing or having faith in something even if it cant be proven does make it illegitimate

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
