There are to many proofs for god... how about the complexty of the brain
The human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe.18 It contains over 100 billion cells, each with over 50,000 neuron connections to other brain cells.19 This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second. If we learned something new every second of our lives, it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain. 20 In addition to conscious thought, people can actually reason, anticipate consequences, and devise plans – all without knowing they are doing so.

Yeah, uh that was biology, otherwise known as SCIENCE, which is not religion and not proof of existence of God. Try again.

This is a proof for god, exactly how? Let's analyze what you're asserting: The brain exists, it is complex, therefore god exists.
It is true that the brain exists, and that they are more complex than what is indicated above. However neither of these facts are related to the assertion that god exists.
An indication would be that there is a measurable difference in a human while living and after they died, that could not be explained by any physical means - this would indicate that a soul exists, not prove it, but indicate it. Other indications would be a change in the fossil recorded that requires outside intervention i.e. in your example a brain would be an indication if no other animal had anything similar.
A proof for god would have to be along the lines of the original 10 commandments inscribed in stone by a manner that has no scientific explanation. Other proof may include actual evidence of confirmed and validated miracles.
Evidence would be something along the lines of a global layer of sediment that dates to the same time. Note: we have sedimentary layers all over the world but they don't date to the same time period. Other evidence would be a record in Egyptian writings about Joseph, Moses, or any other confirmation that the Hebrews were there for around 400 years.
Edit:
Nice reference ahoymty, just did a search and nothing came up.

This for me was actually one of the arguments against there being a God or gods. The human brain and almost everything on the universe is way to complex to have been designed by any entity. It just baffles my brain that any god or God could work out all the intricacies involved before He went poof and made man (or anything else for that matter).

Whats the matter? Someone already explained how the eye is NOT irreducibly complex, so youve moved on to the brain now? And how is that proof of God?
1000 years ago, lightening was proof of god because we didnt understand it, as it was so complex. The inner workings of the brain are the same - we will figure it out, and when we do, we will take your need for a magical sky pixie with it.

yes, the brain is complex. And it evolved that way! I fail to see where the God proof comes into this. I think we can all agree that the brain is VERY complex. But there is no proof that it was created by God. Or proof that it was created by ANY being at all, including Santa Claus. You seem to misunderstand what proof is.

Exactly! If it's complex, we must assume it was designed!
Of course, the Judeo-Christian god, according to the bible, set Pi at 3, but the Intelligent Designer god made Pi much more complex than that, so we can, by extending your logic, disprove the bible. Thanks!
Therefore, the Intelligent Designer god would have been a god of intelligence and reason... the first few I can think of are Athena and Isis! Cration must have been Her work (one of them)!

Your point being...? Its the most complicated structure in the universe...how does that prove God had to make it?
BTW, I really love the random numbers thrown in here, proving you copy and pasted this from somewhere else and were too lazy to even properly format it, much less give credit. NOT proving you're the smarter side of this debate!

How do you know the human brain was not created by the Invisible Pink Unicorn, who was in turn created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Maybe your God had no hand in this creation.
Sorry, but this is as low as I can get with you, fundies. You'd hide your head in Scripture as soon as I gave you the details.

Isn't nature wonderful ? With all those brain cells , we don't know how to use the earth for ourselves , and leave it as we found it for the use of the generations to come.
The simplest animals , birds , and insects have been doing it for many many centuries before the stupid destroyer appeared .

Where did god come from?
"in the known universe"? That's the thing, there is so much to the universe, we may never know all of it.
BTW - I have yet to see ANY evidence for a god or creator.

Ok you have proven that the human brain is amazing. I will agree with you, but that in no way proves the existence of a god.
