well, the belief of god was very much man made. Stretching far back man has created many gods and many have lost their popularity. There is no real difference in this wave of monotheistic gods. None talk directly to their followers, but instead instruct them via a 2000 year old book rewritten and retranslated millions of times.
God(s) have been an excuse from science for a millenia. And way back in the beginning the cavemen wondered what has created the universe. They dreamt up a million gods. As science advanced we lost gods, we learnt the sun was not apollo, but a ball of gas, we learnt thunder was not thor, but a reaction of the clapping of displaced air. Well now is the age of modern science and all gods have been disproved accept the great creator god. But as this god is being disproved to we can hardly accept it and fight tooth and nail against (the ID verse Evolution debate).
Well following patterns I can hardly believe in this god either, nothing makes it different from apollo or zeus. It is the last god on its way to be executed in modern science.

You are the one claiming the existance of something so typically you should be the one doing the proving...I could claim the world was made on Weds and all memories in your head were placed their by invisible aliens and you couldn't prove me wrong.. but we can't do that for everything or we will never know where to turn to when we want to make logical conclusions.
On the other hand it is possible to prove the bible wrong, and has been done on many occasions because it contradicts itself in so many places..only ignorance allows that particular, direct bible following path of the christian religion to remain... You can check out these by just typing in 'bible flaws' in any search engine... but as for god as a whole I doubt will ever be gotten rid of. God can be anything you want him to be therefore completely flexible against science.. but i think eventually when science has advanced so far people will just claim god is the laws of physics.
hope that helps ;)

It wouldn't be up to an atheist to prove there is no god. An atheist doesn't believe one exists so it's up to a believer to prove a god exists.

One simple argument that the existence of a god is self-contradictory goes as follows: If God is defined as omniscient and omnipotent, then God has absolute knowledge of all events that will occur in the future, including all of his future actions, due to his omniscience.
However, his omnipotence implies he has the power to act in a different manner than he predicted, thus implying that God's predictions about the future are fallible. This implies that God is not really omniscient, at least when it comes to knowledge about future events.
So a God defined as omniscient and omnipotent cannot exist. Theists may counter that God exists out of time and the premises for this argument are wrong.

You cannot proof that something is not existant. Lets say salt in water. To proof that the water does not contain the salt you should know the properties of salt. You know the properties of salt only because salt is existent somewhere else but maybe just not there. So if you don't know the properties of god, because there is no such thing at all, how can you proof that there is no god? Get my point?

Why don't you prove there IS a God?

Time is part of the universe. Creation implies the pre-existence of time. To say 'the universe was created' then implies the existence and nonexistence of time, which is a contradiction. Therefor, the universe was not created. Therefor, there is no creator.

There IS a God. He is just like the Bible says, except he has pink antlers. Prove ME wrong!

False question. You can't prove this sort of negative.
