No, that isn't a good argument.
You can't see, smell, hear, or touch your thoughts but do they exist?
EDIT: you think therefore you are. We can not prove that you think. So how do we know YOU do? YOU know your thoughts exist but to the rest of us, they may not. (Just as Christians KNOW God exists.) We take it on faith that you have thoughts, we can't examine them, but we have to take it on faith that you have them. We can measure brain activity but we can not measure thoughts or even really examine them. Evidence points to you having thoughts but they still can not be measured.
Evidence also points to there being a creator or a God. We can not measure Him, but there is evidence that points to there being one.

Yes, there is no evidence of any sky fairy.
For those who say, "you cannot see air, but it is there," as an argument for god, I say: We can build tools to help our senses examine the universe. But no tools can find a being that exists only in the minds of some people.
Peace, only without religion.

Nice random punctuation :)
Not really, you can't prove negatives. It's not definitive proof of anything really, since there are a lot of natural fenomena that are pretty hard to observe.
I believe the default position should be; god doesn't exist, unless proven so. You've bascally just narrowed down the field for those people that are willing to try to prove his/hers/its/their existence.

You might try working on your syntax a little.
But, if you meant to ask whether the fact that you can't see, smell, hear or touch God is a good argument for his non-existence, then no, it's not. You can't see, smell, hear or touch carbon monoxide either, but we have other ways of determining its presence. Same for gravity. Same for air.
Now, if there was SOME means, ANY means, by which we could detect God besides our five senses, that might be a reason to believe in him. As far as I know, nobody's ever built a successful God-detector.

It is a great argument.
Then you learn that the image of God is God's substance which is spiritual, and that is what man is, and these mortal senses do not belong to (spiritual) man.
So in the end, there isn't an argument.

I hear songs. Is that the same as hearing voices? I hear, Satan loves me this I know. Does that mean I have a secret admirer?

well yeah for sure, that's is why I don't see it illogical to conclude that god is everything, not some man or spirit or some power that is actually really looking after us. But the hole thing good and bad and in between. I'm probly wrong but wtf else could anything physical be called god but the entire interaction? I don't know

We can't touch dark matter so it doesn't exist? Not a good argument you cant touch or see or feel something. You can't prove he doesn't exist or that he does exist.

the weakest ever actually
and in a thousand years, who is going to prove you even walked the earth
such is water, such is the heart, such is the soul.
there is a word, stronger than all your doubt, faith, your free will choosing to reject faith.
and what evidence that is shown, do you care to ignore?
