No.It's impossible (for now) to prove that gods don't exist. It's perfectly possible to claim it.
But then, since no-one's shown any evidence that gods do exist, it's a very safe assumption to believe that they don't.

What do you mean "for now"?Nothing can be finally proven. All proof has the status of a very safe assumption, and nothing more than that. Arguments about the existence of God always contain a certain amount of trash consisting of "there's no proof He doesn't exist" and "there's no proof He does". All those parts of the argument are a waste of space, whichever side they come from.

For now.How do you know that nothing can be finally proven? That's a statement that you'll need to prove.
Who knows what people will know in the future? I wouldn't dismiss the possibility that, in the distant future, everything that can be know will be known.
It seems a little bit presumptuous to dictate what people will know for sure millennia from now.
