I just asked a question, many Atheists answered saying: "Our proof always gets deleted so you never see it"

"There is a Plethora of proof, believers just ignore it"

And some answered: "You cannot prove a negative"

One even gave me an informal equation to mull over that is interesting...

With the exception of one answer I am still considering, I got evasive and off-topic answers.

So I ask now for this proof either for discussion here or you can send it to me via personal e-mail(if you fear being reported etc), I have no point to prove and nothing to loose by varying my belief system, so I will asses information on its own merit not my prejudice.

Please display the Scientific quantifiable proof there is no good that is so well hidden.

Can you do this?

*Some* Atheists, I apologise for generalising.

You cannot prove that it doesnt exist but you also cannot prove that it does exist?

Therefore use this logic:
I cannot prove that unicorns dont exist. Does that mean that they do exist?

I can honestly say I've never seen an atheist claim that there is "proof" God doesn't exist. You can't prove a negative. That doesn't mean that it's just as reasonable to believe in God as not. You can't "prove" that centaurs don't exist, either. If the mere fact that we can't disprove the existence of something is to be taken as grounds for believing in it, the universe will very quickly fill up with imaginary beings.

To even start to respond to this question we ought to first have a sparkling definition of who God actual is. i've got self assurance the main classic definition is that he's all-powerful, omniscient, and omnivolent. all-powerful meaning all effectual. Omniscient meaning all understanding and ultimately, omnivolent meaning all loving. by ability of this definition some could argue that there is an inherent contradiction. If he's usual with of something is occurring has the flexibility to supply up and likewise cares sufficient to supply up it, why does not he? as a result, some human beings have been compelled to get rid of a minimum of between the features of God. This, for many in spite of the shown fact that, could replace the definition of God. Leaving many curious in thinking, are we nevertheless in actuality speaking approximately God? despite the case may be i've got self assurance that by ability of the oftentimes happening definition God does not exist. If i elect to define God in a distinctive way i'm not likely even speaking approximately God. as a result, I end that God does not exist.

I do not believe in GOD - I cannot prove or disprove the existence of such a being - SO -to turn things around - YOU show me proof of GOD and I will believe.

You have to show me - undeniable - absolute - irrefutable evidence, i.e. A body, a mass of Omnipotent vapour that can demonstrate all the powers so claimed by worshippers. A visible miracle that I can witness personally - even better if I can meet him personally - as we are allegedly 'all son's of God', how could he refuse to meet me.

When that happens - I will believe -

What proof would you like to see? I mean , we all know that regeneration of limbs , an end to suffering and hunger in the world overnight would be very strong evidence for the existence of a Higher Being .... but what would you accept as evidence of the Non-existence of a supernatural being ?

Is the non-regeneration of amputated limbs the sort of evidence you want ?

I don’t think you really thought this question out properly.

you cant prove gods existance or his non existance by science. just like you cannot explain life or the existance of the universe for that matter.
and why would you want to. its pointless.

an interesting fact though is that earlier ie middle ages, i think it might have been islam, used science to prove the existance of god.

i myself tend not to believe in a god, though i am open to the idea that there might be one. (i guess im an agnostic)

I don't need proof that there is no god just like I don't need proof that there is no tooth fairy. If it is not in existence then it can't be proven. If it does exist then it can be proven. Since you or any other theist have proof of a god then it doesn't exist. It is a very simple concept really.

The Bible proves God is impossible by contradictory claims. It claims God is omniscient, yet God regretted the creation of man before the flood. It claims God is just, when he is illustrated as anything but. It claims that God is good yet is responsible for inventing the food chain.

You CAN prove a negative if you can show it's definition to be self-contradictory or contradictory to some other known fact. You don't need complete knowledge of the universe.

God is defined as omnipotent and omniscient. If God is omniscient, he knows what he will do in the future. That means he can't change his mind and is therefore not omnipotent. Omnipotence and omniscience cannot coexist, therefore the god of the bible cannot exist. Done.

Now if God is NOT omnipotent and omniscient, then the problem is solved, but then the bible is wrong.

I can't disprove unicorns because they aren't contradictory.

It is not my burden to prove that there is a God. That is upon the Christians and the Jews and the Muslims that claim he exist.

As Christopher Hitchens rightly said of your God: 'What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof'.

The onus is on believers to prove his existence. We don't need to prove he doesn't exist because that is patently obvious to any rational thinking, reasonably educated man on the street.
