Air (or rather oxygen) is easy to prove.
Now devise similar experiments to prove the existence of god ;)

Big fail right from the start.
There is evidence that air exists. Show me the evidence for your sky daddy that holds any water and we can talk.

Worst strawman ever.
F: It the impossibility of the contrary. What else could you be breathing.
Um. Are you suggesting that we don't actually know why we need air to breathe and that air is only necessary because we can't think of any other theories?
Just because you failed primary school biology and chemistry doesn't mean everybody else did too.

Theist: "Yes, but in space there is no air, and it's hard to breathe."
Atheist: "Yes but space is very expensive. Let's test your 'air' hypothesis experimentally in a vacuum chamber.
*later*
Theist: "All right, I'm pumping in the vacuum now!"
*more later*
Atheist: "Holy shit you were right!"
Theist: "See! I'm right sometimes, now you must believe everything I say."
Atheist: "But you haven't shown proof of a god. I can't just believe everything you say based on silly analogies."
Theist: "Well, you can't put yourself in a God vacuum chamber, because God is everywhere."
Atheist: "Isn't that convenient?"
Find someone who's never seen an elephant, or even a picture or video of one, but just has a vague description of what it's supposed to look like. Get this person to draw an elephant. The result would be to elephants what fundie "humour" is to actual humour, in that you can tell what it's theoretically supposed to be but it's not right.

Well, that's your first fail right there. And the rest is just a whole load of bullshit.
More like this:
Name one Atheist that denies anything (in mass) but God, for that matter.
We just live in the real world and you refuse it
nice straw man. looks fresh. did you just cut the hay?
you forget the part where the atheist spends years of their life deciding on whether or not they believe in air, and coming to well-reasoned, logical decisions based on fact and observations.
for example: i know air exists because 1: air is merely a mixture of various gasses. i know gasses exist, because i have done reflux reactions, which require chemicals be in a gaseous form, so it is logical to assume that air exists. 2: breathing implies that some kind of gaseous matter enters your lungs. air fits that description perfectly. because i know i am breathing, i can assume the air i think i am breathing in exists. 3: WAVE YOUR HAND AROUND IN THE AIR. FEEL THAT SLIGHT RESISTANCE? AIR.
this is how creationists come to conclusions about air: GOD SAYS AIR EXISTS. no more questions needed. this is an extremely bad analogy in either direction, and only goes to show how stupid its creator is.
