You can't prove that something metaphysical doesn't exist using physical parameters.
I can't prove there's no ghost in the room I'm in right now--there could be. If it's undetectable, how could I say for certain that it isn't here?

@Nate931: good reasoning. Usually when people say there's a ghost in the house they try to prove it with some physical evidence. Table shaking by itself without any input motion, light switch going on/off etc. You're right, to answer the question in the post we need more parameters. I'm talking of an omnipotent being who was there before the big bang, who made it happen. From that explosion came at least one universe that's mixes chaos and harmony to create perfect structures. Structures we can't reproduce. Minerals have cohesion, plants add the ability to grow, animals are made of minerals and can grow like plants but have instincts on top of that. Humans have all the previous and can think at a very advance level. They can solve very difficult problems, harvest things like electricity, engage in activities like agriculture etc. Humans also have a spiritual part that science is not yet ready to discuss. Premonition dreams for instance how can you explain those. Science can't explain quantum entanglement but acknowledge its existence because of facts. I bet you they won't be able to explain it without spirituality. To me quantum entanglement is the same thing that happens in telepathic human brains. What links the particles is the living force of the universe, some call it the spirit of God. The Force that went from creating the big bang to providing with necessary ingredients that allow the evolution we have today. So...prove to me that there isn't something behind the equilibrium we have in this universe today. I don't wanna confuse you. To me the world wasn't built in 7days. It evolved. Humans and apes are different species. Humans did evolve but they have always had an intelligence that distinguish them from apes.
