Hi Don,

You ask:

"1. Where is this massive body of evidence located.
2. How precisely does it achieve the impossible task of proving a negative.
3. Who are the learned scientific geniuses who produced and tested this evidence.
4. What credentials can they produce to back up the credibility of their research and conclusions."

1. The massive body of evidence is that there is no evidence for a god at all. Only cultural delusion.
2. As you say, negatives can't be proven. It's a logical fallacy.
3. There are some scientists today who are testing the legitimacy of a god. This is what the Dover trials were about as well as was the Scopes Trial.
4. I think that in the scientific community, there is a consensus that among the more
educated and well-developed scientists, since there is no evidence to support a god,
there is a general lack of belief.

Since as you say, there is no proof of a negative, skepticism is healthy here. Otherwise
you enter the realm of delusion. You can will the earth to be flat if you are so inclined but
this flies in the face of the perception of scientific data.

Now here is one of the reasons that religion is dangerous.
