There are no (absolute) proofs for, or against, the existence of God.
Proof is a tricky word. Many people think that proof establishes something is an absolute fact. That's not often the case; at least, not in the everyday world.
In jurisprudence and science, a reasonable basis for proof is based on solid evidence and the absence of any known contradiction. There's a "reasonable person" standard which defines proof as "beyond a reasonable doubt". The test of time fortifies proofs.
You say there are no unicorns? Prove it. You see? ABSOLUTE proof is an illusion -- especially when trying to prove a negative, such as "There is no God".
However, rephrasing the assertion from "There is no God", to "God is imaginary", makes proof easier, using the "reasonable person" standard. We can't ABSOLUTELY prove it but we can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.
Consider this . . .
No matter where man has spread, he as created countless gods. From aboriginal Australians to tribal Africans to American Indians to ancient Egyptians . . . they've all created gods prolifically and with ease. That man creates gods is a well-known, indisputable fact.
But what about the opposite? God creating man? We DON'T know that he did. We have no evidence that he did. We have no reason to think that he did. All the evidence points to evolution over the course of billions of years. There's growing evidence that life originated from abiogenesis -- from an electro-chemical reaction in the primordial soup of early Earth.
So, with countless thousands of gods to man's credit, believers are in the untenable position of asserting that all the gods that came before and after theirs are false . . . but their own god (and religion) is real and true. Asserting that one's own god is real, when we know that man created all the others, is ridiculous. It is so unlikely that we can safely consider it delusional.
Man has created countless thousands of gods and YOURS (if you believe) has NO evidence. That, my friend, qualifies God’s existence as dubious, at best, and faith in him as misguided and misplaced. Based upon the preponderance of evidence, the assertion that "God is imaginary" meets the reasonable person standard for proof and has withstood the test of time for thousands of years.

All you are going to get is yes or no...
But I will tell you why I do..The world and everything in it is made to miraculous for there to not be a God. Just take me to a garden of flowers and I will tell you I believe in God. The human body is a miracle along with everything else. And I'm too special to live a little while and that is it.....God has so much else for me I can't even think it up he said.....I'm excited about that and long for heaven....
THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME I'M JUST PASSING THROUGH....

Yes I believe in God
Humans were created by God in His image. (Genesis 1:26, 27) "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Since God is a trinity, there must be a trinity in humans, as well. That would be body, soul, and spirit. When Adam and Eve sinned, some part of them died. God had said, (Genesis 2:6-7) "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Since their bodies did not die on that day, and their souls did not die on that day, it must have been their spirit that died. That spirit is what is born anew when a person comes to Jesus Christ for salvation. That is what being born again means.

No.
First, if your sharp, you know all religion is false. So, then your left with whether God exists at all, but once you understand evolution, you realize there is no design, and thus, dont have any basis to believe in God at all.
