It must be hard to answer my question without a question back.
Shows a lack of intelligence.
It can be proven that God exists!

Keep an Eye on me Slick! I'll reveal it to you or will you deny that also. Besides I know why you are the way you are!

Jehovah is a name relating to his creation. You need to study a bit more! I call him father in my prayers and in conversation. I was merely pin pointing the God of which I worship! As you see we are dealing with a lost world and many people are worshipping there cars, women, drugs, gold chains, and money! I had to show them who I was talking about! I thought you would be able to see this! Have a Blessed Day!

the very fact that there are millions of gods over the centuries helps point in the general direction of nonexistance. If there was an all powerful force out there which controlled everything and created everything then there would be one idea of it, not millions. And certainly this all powerful being would not pick one civilization to be his chosen people. What sense does it make? They were all born from Adam and Eve, right? Even those who god jehovah killed by using the jews as murderers in the Old Testament. So stop waiting for someone to prove a negative and start discovering this world on your own. Pray for a month to a sheep for all the things which you would normally pray to your god for and you'll find that the world will still spin, the sun will still rise, and all the answers you would have gotten from god will still come out the same.

In all seriousness, the answer would be way to long for statement here if sources are sited. So I'll be brief:
1. Jehovah is a derived name that does not represent the true name "I am what I am", which the Tetragrammaton represents. The question is, if god's name can be mangled so badly over time, what about the rest of his word? If he isn't able to protect something as important as his name, what about the rest of his message? If this is the case, then at the very least, god isn't what he is proported to be or worse, an out right liar. This opens the door to the possibility of non-existance with just this alone.
2. The Israelites where not monothesitic. Modern Christianity has this myth about how Hebrews only believed in one god. But even the bible contradicts this view, in Deut, most kings are listed as bad since they either supported non-Aaronite priesthoods (in favor of Moshian priesthoods) or flat out supported worship of other gods side by side with YHWH. If "god's own people" didn't recognize him as all powerful, how are we to take an understanding of this matter? No exclusivity of worship by the very people that represented that god on Earth draws into question the existance of said god since it makes said god no more special than all the other gods of that time.
3. Some sources have suggested that YHWH is a combination of three gods who's worship was combined at some point in Hebrew history under one or two priesthoods. This is evident in the bible itself, though not directly stated. For example, there are mentionings of snake worship as part of YHWH worship. These examples are mentioned, then explained away by a silly story. But snake worship crops up at the most unusual locations in the Torah. The term LEVI is derived from the ancient word for "snake". Hmm, the very tribe of Israel responsible for conducting sacrafices to god had a name (Levi) that most likely means "people of the snake"? Mixed believes formed the basis of the believes in said god, meaning these believes did not come form a single all knowing source, but rather from mixing of myths (which was a very common practice in pre-monothesitic times). Again, this calls into question about the existance of that god.
I could go on about the bible, but then there's real life investigations that can be done too. I'm not an atheist, but I'm sure there are plenty of atheists out there that can provide good real life reasons for non-existance of yours or any gods.

No. It is firmly established, after more than a thousand years of debate between philosophers and natural theologians etc., that nobody has succeeded in proving either the existence or the non-existence of God. This is something for which we need FAITH rather than REASON.

Why do you think that Jehovah doesn't exist? But I think you know deep down in your heart that He created the earth, the animals, and our first parents Adam and Eve and everywhere you see the plants and the sea.

NO, and I wouldn't even try, but I can prove to you that it is the improper name to use while addressing Almighty God...Jesus referred tho him as Father, in the Lords Prayer, and maybe you should show some respect and do the same thing.

Can you prove that god does exist?
It's a two way street, slick.
EDIT: You added details saying that it in fact can be proven that he exists... Well, by all means go right ahead. I'm all eyes and ears.

No more than you can prove that Santa Claus does not exist. However, the attached link does provide a good start.

no, but you can make any number of claims that can't be proven false. it doesn't mean they're true. it could mean that they're fantastic claims with no relation to reality (and i believe it does mean that).
"It can be proven that God exists!"
oh, ok. why don't you do that then?

No. If you are talented at something do you tell everyone how good you are at it or do you just let the talent speak for itself?
