They may be willing to reconsider that position if proof that a god does not exist is presented
Which is a trick, because 1) proof of nonexistence is impossible. Logically, factually, take your pick. You can't prove nonexistence. You can only disprove existence of a specific thing in a specific testable form. 2) "proof" of anything at all outside of abstracts like mathematics is impossible. There's specifically no such thing as proof in science.
