No one can prove or disprove the existance of GOD. That is called faith. I have it!

There is something in formal logics called "Negative Proof" or "Proof of Impossibility", I'd recommend you to study that.
In the case of "god existence" like the "invisible unicorn existence" there is no such thing as "proving their non-existence". It's the asseveration of their existence what requires proof. Do you believe the invisible unicorn exists? If you don't, can you prove it doesn't exists? If you can't prove it doesn't exists, does that mean it exists? Does it sound like a logical request?

It depends on what you mean by "god". Most people who use the word "god" in the west are referring to a monotheistic omn^3 creator god. That particular god can be disproven based on:
- internal inconsistency. This results directly from the incoherence of all "omni" type words.
- the definition of the word "exist". If something can not be verified even in principle, it does not exist.
- inconsistency with the concept of time. For the universe to have been created implies there was a time when it did not exist. But time is part of the universe, not something separate from it, as proven by relativity. So for the universe to have been created, there had to be a time when there was no time. This is an obvious contradiction that proves the universe was not created. If the universe was not created, then there can not be a creator of the universe.

Why are we so much after the existence of God nowadays. We all should be thinking of our own existence from the fear of annihilation from the Nuclear threat. remember when we all perish God still be there, watching people on other Planets, and this is the biggest proof that God exists.

Nope. I cannot prove that God does not exist, nor can I prove that God does exist. Good question.

I can not prove that God dose exist... nor can you... making such a chalenge here is only seen by the enemies of The Faith as weakness and further proof, in their minds, that all who believe in God are "brainwashed"

"The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity." ~Carl Sagan

Hi. It is impossible to answer your question. A proof is materialistic and God is not made with anything. Do i believe God exists in my heart? - YES

The burden of proof lies with the believer. If I told you I had a green alien in my closet, I would not ask you to prove that it was not there. You would ask me to prove that it was.

One can not prove that anything does not exist, you can only prove that something does exist. However the evidence strongly suggests that there is no god.

Lack of proof. Forced into Christianity as a child and forced to go to church and pray. Prayers never got answered. God never spoke to me. Grew up and learned to think for myself. If he existed, why would it be his plan for those he loves to suffer terrible fates? Stupid religious garbage.
