Unfortunately, that simple observation is a logical fallacy -- Russell's
teapot.

I quite agree that an xtian being unable to provide proof of God doesn't
necessarily mean that there is no God. On balance, however, this lack of
proof leaves me unable to believe in God. I can't make that jump. Faith
seems like a wretched thing to me, I'd rather remain uncertain than skip
ahead to a conclusion that is so unsatisfying.
