I see many questions asking athiests about what they believe and many athiests questioning theists, I am asking a question that is covering both areas, mainly out of curiousity to see what answers I get.

I am aware you cannot prove a negative, that part was kind of a trick question, I was interested in seeing if anyone would pick up on it.

Sorry about the spelling errors in my description, I wasn't paying attention (obviously).

The god concept is nonsensical and logically impossible.
I'd just like to note that it isn't my "job" to prove this. The burden of proof rests with those who make the positive assertion, i.e. "God exists", not with those who respond with "I doubt it" or "show me the evidence".

I have found proof of God. The math is so complicated to I'll give the basics of true physics. Every particle travels along a path. When two particles at a distance have a relationship it is called a perception. When particles meet these perceptions turn into vantage points, a group of vantage points is called a essence which portrays a presents. When two perceptions cross you get an understanding. With vantage point memory, perceptions and understandings you now know how a conciseness works. Now look around you where do you see perceptions and understandings. It is concuss universe. This is a secret science the NWO is working on. They are making great advancements.

There is no need to prove there is a God but there seems to be a need to disprove Him.
Read Carefully......
“Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bog-gglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: `I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't.
`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.
`Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets
himself killed on the next zebra crossing.”

Neither can be proven. IF God exists, in the all-powerful form that so many believe, He would be capable of 'covering his tracks'. And you've already said you can't prove a negative - absense of evidence isn't evidence of absence, and all that. Which is why we use the words 'belief' and 'faith' - neither has anything to do with proof.

Noted Catholic theologian Hans Kung examined the subject in excruciating detail [ref. 1] and correctly concluded that neither the existence nor non-existence of god could be proved on the basis of logic or evidence. However, there is a fair amount of evidence on the subject, and all of it indicates that there is no such thing as a god [ref. 2].

No.
Theist: There is a God.
Atheist: Prove it.
Theist: ..................
Atheist: OK, then, there is no God.
The burden of evidence is on the one who claims that something exists. Since you can't prove a negative, atheists don't have to prove that God doesn't exist. The one who claims that God DOES exist has to prove it, and nobody has.
An unsubstantiated claim can be rejected out of hand, and that's what I'm doing when I say that God does not exist. Absent any evidence of God's existence, I am justified in reaching that conclusion.

it rather is the better area approximately being an atheist. i don't sense the could desire to "coach" my ideals. i don't sense the could desire to tension human beings to believe an analogous element I do the two, as long as they don't attempt to burn me on the stake for being a heretic like was undemanding christian prepare. I additionally don't sense to blame admitting that i don't understand for confident what could take place. Oh, by ways. the place did you get the thought faith capacity imitating your god or maybe if? That merely isn't genuine.

Ever hear of the Null Hypothesis?
Look it up.
Without evidence, the answer to a question is presumed to be "no".
Do theists of any sort have any evidence? Beyond personal anecdotes? No. Therefore...

So - you want me to prove that something which has no evidence that it does exist - doesn't exist.

The burden of proof is on those who claim that god exists. There is no need to disprove the tooth fairy in order for people to suspect that it does not exist.
