And then spend our time treating it as a scientific hypothesis until it is proved as a theory? Anyone want to try and give me repeatable evidence of the non-existence of God?

Actually it is a response to Christians saying that their religious Dogma can be used as a scientific method. I find that offensive.

You start with a false assumption and go downhill into your own twisted ego.
God exists, get over it.
Your belief that God does not exist is based on faith, thus your belief is, by definitin, a religion.
And yet, you can't prove your religious belief is correct, so that makes you a hypocrite.

This has been done time and again. Science and religion are not out to prove the same thing. Not all of science is provable or explainable, it just is. Take the electrical force around an atom, "the great force." Religion does not have to be provable, it just is. You either have the belief or you do not. If you don't then that's ok. If I do than that should be ok with you. As has been said many times before, if I am wrong about there being a God all I did was waste some time. If you are worng, you are wasting your eternal soul.
This is an old battle and I do not understand why scientific people continue to bring it up. Perhaps it shows insecurity or uncertainty on the part of those who do the questioning?

You cannot prove the unprovable. Faith, any faith, is by definition, ephemeral. Just as Christians try so hard to discredit atheists through obvious and transparent questions, so to have you, and thus done yourself a great disservice. Although I believe in a supreme being, I don't believe that means we should simply dispose of science. I believe in evolution, the facts are all there, to deny it would be foolish. However allow me to be, pardon the expresson, the devil's advocate for a moment. One of the answers here implied that a virgin birth was not possible. I disagree, please permit to explain. Today,scientifically, we have the ability to create a virgin birth. Consider, a young woman who's hymen is intact, thus a virgin. Now, using fertilization techniques to fertilize an egg outside the womb, and then, through simple injection into the walls of the urterous, we introduce a fully fertilized egg. Now, by this procedure, a virgin is now pregnant. Thus it is possible to have a virgin birth. Who is to say if it was a "God" figure or even aliens for that matter, the point being, if we can do it, certainly it is possible someone else could have also. Please do not misunderstand what I am saying, I offer this only in response to the idea that this particular event would have been impossible, clearly not. As for the rest, faith is faith, science is science, and both being noble pursuits, should just try to keep out of each others way and show a little more respect for each other. I suspect things would be better if they did. Thank you for your time.
On another note, Born Again Christian, you mke erronious assumptions. I believe in a supreme being, but I cannot declare Him to be scientifically factual, it is merely my faith. When you attack science in such a purile and childish manner, using silly and contorted arguments as you do here, you do nothing to further cause, if anything, it makes it more difficult for people like me to take you seriously. I have no conflict between my faith and science, God gave me reason and as such I accept the reason of science.

I can't give you any (credible) evidence to support God belief, repeatable or otherwise.
As a followup suggestion, science would be much easier if scientists used that as a basis for their theories.
Can you imagine how much better off we would be if scientists made an assertion and claimed it was true because "God did it"?
It would eliminate the need for those expensive labs, time consuming tests, and verifications by others.
Yes, science would be much further along if scientists relied on God instead of credible, verifiable evidence.

First, you never try to prove a negative.
Switch the question this way:
Anyone want to try and give me repeatable evidence of the existence of God?
Or an even better question: What does the 3 letter word "god" mean?
Great question!
Please consider these tidbits:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
Does Imacculate Conception have anything to do with "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google Imacculate Conception and learn that is NOT.
What else do you falsely believe?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing to be lost.
P.S.
[Do Christians on Yahoo! answers feel righteous when they report questions they disagree or disapprove of?

No it is make belief, has nothing to do with rational thinking. I think withing there hart, educated Xians know that it is all made up. But for opportunistic reasons they shut up and know they can manipulate the uneducated Xians for there own use. This especially applies to politicians!
