In the end, both sides are screwed.
For those that believe in a god, there is no proof that one exists other than the psychological feeling that one convinces themselves is the communication between them and a god and the percieved thought that they live in a perfect world because a god gave it to them (even though those created in the image of a god are running it to ruin).
As for those that do not believe in a god, the very fact that there is no evidence to prove that there is a god, proves that there is no god. Atheists believe that if there was a god, it would make itself clearly seen and known to everyone. There is no evidence that the body has a soul. Science explains how people see and percieve things and psychology explains why people feel the need to believe that there is a god because of personal security and the desire to find meaning in the world.
The reason I say both sides are screwed is because no one knows what lies at the ends of the universe. What is to say that we are not part of a subatomic particle that is part of an even bigger universe? I think it is very ignorant and vain of someone to claim that the KNOW the answer. No one knows anything. You can believe that there is or there is not a god, but know one can know for sure. So end the end, neither side has any proof that one exists or doesn't. Many believe that the christian god doesn't exist because of the complicated changes and contradictory stories in biblical text and how many of the accounts are simply unbelieveable. Not to mention how hypocritical the church has been in the past centuries.

I find it amusing when they say that the burden of proof is on those making the claim that God exists. According to many answers I've seen from them,they wish to "educate and de-program" those who believe in God. If that is truly their goal,then the burden of proof that God doesn't exist (their belief,not mine) is on them.
The "burden of proof argument" is such a weak answer to questions like this,but if they want to play it that way, the burden of proof goes for both sides of the issue.
Scientifically,neither side has proof. Many believe evolution is all the proof they need. I do not believe in evolution,but even if I did,that still wouldn't prove God does or does not exist. So,believers and non-believers are at an impasse. There's only one difference between the two. One chooses to believe a lie,and one chooses to believe the truth. I choose God as my Truth.

I do very much believe in God, but there is an essential problem with your question. The function of proof is to show that something exists, not that it doesn't exist. There is no way or need to "prove" that something is NOT in existence. It is already assumed.

Something called "proof" of a designer. If the universe is "infintily old" then there is no need for a designer. It has always been here. And if the universe has always been here, then life has always been here. "Human" life may be unique, because of our chemistry. But the same stuff we are made of is everywhere in the cosmos.
Believing in something to be true, without evidence, is not proof. People look at the complexity of life and are certain that there is a designer. But there is another way, a better way. It's called evolution through natural selection. Life evolves, matter evolves into consciousness. It happened here, it happens everywhere.

You can't prove a negative. It's like me asking if you can prove I don't have an invisible dog.
You can't give scientific proof that thers is a God so I have to go with what can be proved scientifically.

God does exist and he forgave me. On top of the burden of proof for Zeus's nonexistence prove also to me that the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not exist.

Edit: Also, I read every response and I did not think that any one of them was in anger. I imagine they were excited by the amusement of your blindness. You probably expected people to be angry, so you perceived anger when there wasn't any. Just like you expect god so you perceive god when there really isn't one.

They have no scientific evidence that God doesn't exist and sadly they can't answer without given insults which shows that they lack morals.

Wow, you are too easy. Okay, firstly if you want me to disprove God, you will have to begin by proving Gods existence. Secondly, for those of you who don't believe that the universe was created by a flying plate of spaghetti, can you give me, at least one tiny piece of evidence that the flying spaghetti monster is not God? I would say no ignorant questions, but you already broke that rule.

No need. You make an incrediable claim (like a god) then you have to prove it. Besides, you can't prove a negative. Prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist. You can't? Of course you can't. So you should be worshiping Santa too, right?
The proof is up to the person making the claim, no those who don't believe it.

God says in the Bible that He will answer all prayers. He says that no prayer shall go unanswered.
I prayed for a cure for cancer and he did not answer my parayer. This is just one of thousands of prayers that have never been answered. If this giant person that lives in the sky can't even answer one prayer that is unselfish than he does not exist or if he does exist, he is a liar.
Now give me scientific proof that he does exist.
