No, you cannot claim that SM exists because I can't prove it doesn't. But isn't this exactly what happens to atheists in reverse? Believers can't prove God exists so you have a poster, darkroom, who consequently concludes that he categorically does not exist. If the concept of God is a male with a long white beard living in the sky, then no he doesn't. But who would ever believe that? And if he exists like a man that he exists in time, place, with a physical appearance, etc and who would ever believe that?
