Whether God's Existence Can Be Proven

OK, let's be clear: the justification of a person's faith does not require construction of a logically rigorous proof for God's existence; moreover, there is no logical inconsistency or contradiction in believing that God exists and that human reason is incapable of proving this.

Still, we should be able to drill down to something a little more fundamental: it has become rather commonplace to hear statements by professed "atheists" or "agnostics" (and let's be honest, most of these professors seemingly have no idea of the fundamental distinction between the two), who maintain that God's existence cannot be proven.

Are they right?
