Good One. There is no proof that there is no God. That can mean only one thing. He is.
Amen
But the non-beleivers will question this and say the burden of proof in on us. Well I'm sorry, the burden will be on you, when Jesus returns and you think that maybe you can sneek in because of your acts of kindness that you might have shown to someone in your life. He will not know your name.

Proof that there isn't a god? Are you serious? You can't ask for proof that something DOESN'T exist; the burden of proof is always on the proponent of a new theory or hypothesis.
It's like trying to prove that bigfoot doesn't exist, or that the Loch Ness monster doesn't exist. Cryptozoologists can't just insist that these critters are out there by pointing to mainstream science and saying, Well, prove that they DON'T exist. It just doesn't work that way. If you want me to believe in bigfoot, I want to see a cold dead big hairy bipedal primate body. I want a slimy prehistoric sea monster carcass. You won't convince me, or any other reasonable mind, in any other way.

the 'proof' is that with all the available evidence we have, it's clearly more probable that he CANT exist as we understand the world. why wuld god create a world that dismisses him as a necessity? the natural laws that he supposedly created dismiss him as even a possibility. why? because if we can develope more probable explanations with natural understandable possibilities, why settle with the possibility of something SUPERnatural, or BEYOND the natural? he's no necessity. history shows god(s) have been replaced again and again by our understanding of the natural world.
everything is theory. the theory that the world is ROUND is a theory, but because of the available evidence, it's a theory that will probably NEVER be proved wrong. it's a falsifiable theory. the theory of god is not because it has no basis, and no facts to sustain it as a possibility.
hope that helps!

There are a couple rebuttals floating around, but it's generally understood that proof of a negative universal is impossible and thus irrational to require for rejecting claims.
The possibility of an invisible floating teacup in Mars orbit is unlikely to give the claim of the teacup's existence any merit. We can reject God the same way we reject the existence of that teacup.

The proof that there isn't a God is this, "You can't prove that there is a God anymore than you can prove that there isn't a God." God is not provable by ANY scientific means because He is not bound by physical laws of detection and measurement. The Bible states that God is a Spirit and the only way to communicate with God is through your spirit. However, to be able to communicate with God in Spirit you must first have God;s Spirit within you. How do you receive His Spirit? By accepting His Son Jesus Christ into your heart and life. When you do that, God's Spirit comes into your heart and then you are able to communicate with God Himself who just happens to be known as Jesus Christ.

Where's the proof Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny do not exist?
Those who claim existence bear the burden of proving the claim. Non-existence is the presumption for rational people. Non-existence cannot be proven, nor is it necessary to prove it.
If you claim supernatural entities exist, where is your proof?
Belief is not proof.

You cannot prove the inexistance of anything. You also cannot prove anything through the apparent inexistance of something.
No one can prove God does not exist. God can prove he exists by showing himself to us. So it's not impossible to prove he DOES exist.
Someone mentioned to me that the Oort cloud is where comets are born. When asked about evidence for the Oort cloud, they commented "Prove to me it doesn't exist". Deductively, this doesn't work. They do the same for things like "Dark matter". To be honest, it comes down to faith and belief.

For starters why question God in the first place? He did say if you are not sure about something you should question it but he didn't say that you should put him or his words to the test. Be extra careful about doing that you might be asking more than you bargained for.

What's the proof that I'm not him? If you feel that 'god exists', it's certainly only because you find the evidence in support of that proposition credible. Others don't.

Don't worry about them. The same people who claim God does not exist also cannot prove Love exists.
