<p>Why and what for trying to prove something as being not the case in merely philosophical terms?</p>
<p>If you don't have HIV, you can be proven to not have it by scientific means. </p>
<p>All else, all pseudo-philosophical claims of someting NOT being the case are just this:</p>

That fact leads me to conclude that almost certainly there is no God. In the same way, I strongly doubt the existence of fairies and unicorns. They might exist, but almost certainly they don't.</p>
<p>You need to think about this more clearly. Religious believers often say, "You haven't proven there is no God." True, it is very difficult to prove the non-existence of something. Science and common sense don't work that way.</p>
<p>I don't spend my day trying to prove there is no pink elephant in our living room. If someone asked me to do this, I'd reply, "I don't perceive a pink elephant. Neither has anyone else who has come into our house. If you do, it's your job to prove that one exists in my living room; it isn't my job to prove that it doesn't exist."</p>David R commented on 'The universe is indifferent to us.
