It is easy to not believe in God. Look around. How much pain and sufferring do you need to see before the idea of an all powerful loving God seems unlikely? Are we all supposed to be Job, accepting whatever pain is inflicted as a test of our faith? If your God punishes you to test you, why is your God worthy of your worship?
The universe is a dangerous place. Bad things happen to good people all the time. If a plane crashes and hundreds of people die, but one random soul survives, someone will thank God for saving the one soul. Why give God credit for saving the one, but allowing all the others to die? What kind of God partitions out small bits of mercy, while inflicting great harm on so many others?
You don't need scientific evidence to demonstrate the non-existence of God. If you want people to believe that something exists, you need evidence to support the evidence of this all-powerful being.
It can't be a rational debate because believers will defer to phrases like "God's will cannot be known by man," or "God works in mysterious ways." Fine. You've made a choice to believe in something. It is something that cannot be measured or demonstrated in any logical or scientific way. If I can accept that this is your chosen belief, you should accept that others choose not to believe.
The other argument that believers will grab is the importance of the afterlife. Again, there is no scientific evidence of an afterlife. It is a belief. Fine, again. Go ahead and believe that you will be rewarded after you die. Just recognize this the kind of thinking that motivates suicide bombers in other religions to kill hundreds of innocent people.
Honestly, I find it much more rewarding to focus on doing good now. Let's make the world a better place for ourselves and our children. Let's deal with the afterlife when and if it ever comes.

You cannot scientifically disprove anything; all you can do is prove something. The closest thing to disproving something that the scientific method is capable of is proving something that contradicts it, which is different.
Because you cannot prove that God exists in even the slightest way, and because there is evidence contrary to the "theory" of "intelligent design," it is strongly implied that God does not exist, and its nonexistence can be logically inferred. However, God cannot be directly disproven much like a gigantic floating Jell-O Monster cannot be directly disproven.

to correct Edward ..
Darwin, Einstein and Galileo did not believe in god..
Like i've seen many people on here say .. that the last few years of Darwins life he "claimed" that there must be a god after. Which is incorrect, he never took back everything he learned and studied. Throughout much of his life he Did believe in god.. then later became agnostic. Not the other way around.
as for Einstein and Galileo .. they were both atheist

Ok this is SCIENTIFIC. To shed some light on the matter I did an experiment.
I invited God over for a cup of coffee. If he shows up, I'll be sure.
Ok...this is what happened:
I saw nothing.
The sugar bowl did not move.
The milk package did not move.
The coffee is still there.
This proves God does not care for coffee. While this is not conclusive evidence for his (non)existence, for me personally the matter is settled.

The answer's easy. I think that you should need a reason to believe in God, not a reason to disbelieve. I don't have a reason.

A good, solid secular education, and the ability to draw my own conclusions.
