A proof is usually some premises together with a conclusion, such that the premises are true or accepted, and it is not possible that the premises are true while the conclusion is not - usually for formal reasons.

I don't see why "life exists and no god exists" should be a contradiction for formal or other reasons.

Furthermore: the existence of which god? As you know there and have been many religions with different gods.

And lastly: if it was straightforward, how come so many people fail to see it?

Thank you. The fact that it cannot be true that "life exists and no god exists" sums up the situation perfectly.

We can determine the truth of this statement empirically due to our understanding of information science, entropy, chemistry, and physics.

I think you misread the comment you replied to.

Is the existence of God a straightforward and definitive proof for the existence of God^2?

If that's your argument, then we have nothing to discuss. Go on thinking that. I will go on not thinking that.
