The burden of proof is on the believers. So, tell me what evidence you have. Be forewarned: logic is unforgiving, and if your answer is devoid of logic, everyone will see it.

You can't prove somethings nonexistence; it's impossible.

The short answer is this (which is completely devoid of logic, but nonetheless true):
"For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God himself has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes-his eternal power and divine nature-have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse." (Romans 1:19-20)

The inexorable Laws of Creation which spread through the whole Universe like a network of nerves and bring about the unconditional reciprocal action forming man's fate or karma ... are of the "Holy Spirit" or, more explicitly, are the activity of the "Holy Spirit"
That is why the Saviour said that no one may sin against the "Holy Spirit" unpunished, because through Its inexorable and immovable reciprocal action the retribution f alls back on the originator, on the starting point, whether it be good or evil.

I'm seeing
1. Argument from Design/Watchmaker's Argument, which is circular
2. Appeal to Unqualified Authority, a book
I'm expecting
1. Pascal's Wager
2. Argument from Ignorance "GOD DID IT"
3. Reversing the Burden of Proof ("Prove that God does NOT exist")

There is no evidence for or against God. This is the most basic point of logic that can be had. Everyone needs to see that if it is real to you, then it is real and be damned anyone who says other wise. There is no proof. You can't use the Bible because the Bible is a collection of myths from different cultures written down by man. The Roman Catholic Church picked and changed what they wanted to have in the Bible as long as it fit their purpose of controlling the population.
Don't look for God in nature, because he's not there, its just nature. There was no patterns in nature that would point to intelligent creation. We think we see patterns because it's built into our genes, but they are not there. NO PROOF FOR OR AGAINST GOD. PERIOD
P.S Which God are you talking about? Loki? Zeus? Sun Ra, perhaps?

It can neither be proved or disproved that God exists.
There is no verifiable evidence for the existence of God, and since it is impossible to prove a negative, no verifiable evidence for the non-existence of God, either.
Given that, I am an agnostic. Basically that means I don't know.

There is abundant evidence but the activity of the clergy of the various religions have worked to obscure the actual evidence in favor of their theologies. The sincere seeker would do well to abandon all prejudice, ideas they may have that they cling to, ideas without evidence or any and all knowledge that maybe referential to this subject. Then one would want to start from zero and do a thorough investigation.
There are people who have researched this subject thoroughly and in general it is their perception that the religions of Adam/Zadek, Moses, Krishna, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, The Bab and Baha'u'llah emanate from the same Source. I don't expect anyone to believe what I say, to take my word for anything. Do your homework, investigate the truth for your self.

Umm... Calico Jack (above): that's why I'm an Agnostic. from your answer, I take it you are Agnostic too...
I too have never bought the "God exists 'cause when it rains an angel is crying and that's how you know that there's a God 'cause it's so beautiful and otherwise it couldn't be" level of "argument"...

There is no evidence at all, if there any evidence that there was a God faith would not be required. Through faith alone anything can be believed.

The burden of proof is on the beleivers.
You BELEIVE he does not exist.
Therefore, prove God does not exist.
Use logic though.
