What is Russell's Teapot?

Question: What is it and it's concept? I don't understand. I'm confused.

Answer: Referring to "Russell's teapot" is saying that you can't prove a negative, that is you can't prove that there isn't a teapot floating somewhere in space. (Russell was a philosopher) It's often used as an analogy that as it isn't possible to disprove the exitance of this teapot it isn't possible to disprove the existance of (any) god.
