My opinion is no. As bettierage says, it's also impossible to prove that there is a God - so we're technically all agnostic, whether we like it or not.
However, I should make a caveat. I think it's possible to demonstrate (if that's not proof) that the 'personal God' as describes in the Torah, Bible and Qur'an doesn't exist, or at least not in the form stated in those holy books. There are hundreds of ways to make a conclusive case against _that_ concept of God.
But grabbing hold of the concept of God is like grabbing a handful of sand... it can always change shape. If you say 'I believe in a transcendent God that doesn't interfere in day-to-day life and is not observable in any form but is nevertheless there', how is anyone going to disprove that?
This is why proof and belief need to be distinguished from each other - I do not believe in God, but I acknowledge that that is a belief. Still, it's what I believe and I can't deny that. Some people genuinely, despite everything, believe in God. At the end of the day, belief is all there is.

Define "prove". If you're talking about mathematical proof, using formal rules of logic, then the answer is no. Proving a negative can be done, but not in this circumstance.
Our understanding of physics has now reached the point where we can formally "prove" the existance of a creator. Mathematically, a creator is required. But whether that creator is God, or just some force we don't yet understand is still open for debate.

Any statement that involves a negation (No) requires that the person speaking has all the possible data on the subject. For example, if I were to say that there are no green ducks in Alaska. For that statement to have any validly, the person speaking must have been over ever inch of Alaska, and not found any ducks. The same is true about God statements, expect on a much larger scale. You would have to examine every aspect of reality to conclude there is no God which is impossible to do.

Is it ever possible to prove their IS a God?

No it's not possible, because there is a God. If someone ever proved that there wasn't it would be a lie.

If there was a way to prove whether or not God exists, do you think there would be so many questions in the Religion/Spirituality section???

There is no way to prove that God does, or does not exist untill you have died. Even then you will never know because death means nothing more than lights out. You go no where when you die exept six feet under.

No, you can't prove God doesn't exist. But I challenge you to prove He isn't a Flying Spaghetti Monster. So, put on a pirate's outfit and repent!

Not so far, but neither has it been possible to prove the existence of God so far. Kind of makes the whole world agnostic.

No, because God exists. You cannot prove a negative!
