1) The word "God" denotes an incomprehensible concept. An absurd concept. A concept full of logical contradictions. Such concepts ought to be rejected as nonsense rather than believed or even seriously considered as live possibilities.
2) "God" - to the extent the term makes any sense at all - seems to be a purely hypothetical entity which is completely undetectable by human senses and scientific instruments alike and for which no convincing physical evidence has ever been found. For all practical purposes, this renders "God" synonymous with "non-existent."
3) The "God" which people talk about has all the substantiality of an imaginary friend or a figure in a dream. "God" varies in important and significant ways from person to person, from culture to culture, and over time. This variation seems as arbitrary and unprogressive as the random swirlings of vision-blocking fog.
4) Concepts similar to "God" are routinely dismissed out of hand by theists, agnostics, and atheists alike. There are no logical grounds for treating "God" any differently.
5) The origins and continued existence of the "God" concept are easily explained by the social and psychological functions and needs it serves. When those functions and needs change, "God" changes, too. There is no reason whatsoever to think that an actual "God" being inspired the idea of "God" or that the idea of "God" is anything more than a human invention.
6) Belief in the "God" concept is worse than merely wrong or illogical. It inspires patterns of thinking and behavior which negatively affect us all. Whatever good this belief may have inspired owes nothing to its basic, dangerous irrationality and will survive our rejection of that irrationality.

purely deductive arguments do no longer set up life. good judgment takes life as an axiom and works from there. the only element that could set up life non-axiomatically is empirical evidence: produce a god of a few form for inspection. Any attempt at utilising purely deductive arguments to instruct the life of any god is verbal legerdemain, and can be brushed aside as such. EDIT--'How does our deluded state injury you? merely enable us to stay our "little dream". '--it fairly is a huge sentiment. it fairly is a adverse shame that it would not flow the two techniques. Why is it that believers get to rabbit on and we could walk away? besides, for many believers, it incredibly is not any longer sufficient to merely stay their little dream. They insist that human beings stay it with them, and in the event that they do no longer do it voluntarily, nicely, via God, that's what law is for. The deluded state harms each physique whilst it opposes human rights, civil liberties, impedes technology, and intrudes in human beings's very own lives. each now and then, that deluded state can kill, as whilst a mom tries to starve the demons out of her newborn, or god-fearing believers fly planes into homes or launch sarin gas right into a crowded subway.

It's very simple -- there is no proof of any kind that god exists. None. Zero. Zip.
Of course by "proof" I mean repeatable, testable evidence -- not somebody saying "but god spoke to me in my heart," which isn't evidence or proof.
Toss in all the self-contradicting parts of the holy books, the flat-out wrong parts (flat earth, sun revolving around the earth, man and earth both created 6,000 or so years ago, etc.), and not only is there no proof of god, there is considerable proof that their holy book is flat-out wrong.
For any thinking person, that's enough. For ignorant people who still fear the world and fear dying, no argument will ever convince them.

The scientific way of doing thing is to prove that there is god and not the other way around. What is the best argument that there is god?

I do not feel the burden of proof is in the hand of the Atheists. They should not have to proof what they do not believe, if anyone should prove anything Christians should provide them with proof that God exists.

God is All Powerful
God is All Knowing

If Evil Exists God Cannot Esist
Evil Exists, There is no God.

Most of them would say "You can not prove that there is no God"
Atheists can say back "How can we prove there is no God if you keep imagining there is God in your head"

Without quoting the bible can you prove there is a god? Ask them that question.
But keep in mind that religion is nothing more than personal faith and faith does not have to be proven for it to meet an individuals spiritual needs.

The best thing to do is listen to their argument for why they believe there is a god and then deconstruct it and show them the flaws in their logic or inconsistency with science and reality.

There's no evidence. Or at least, there's no more evidence to prove the Christian God exists than there is to prove that Allah or Zeus exists.
