*Can't use the Bible to back yourself up
*Can't use touchy feely crap (ie. "I feel him in me")
*The absence of evidence "against God" is not the evidence of God

Apart from the bible and "feelings" all they have is "a creation needs a creator" which is complete nonsense.

Can you prove the existance of God... Without using the Bible as evidence?
Silly Question, that's the same as asking ' Can you prove the existance of Cyrus the Great - Without using a history book '..... No

I can prove it to you. Take the bombadier beetle. No way it came about through evilution(intentional spelling).
It has a lining in its stomach to protect it against the chemical combustion.
1.)It would not need this prior to being able to make the combustion.
2.)Without the lining in the first place, the first combustion would have killed the poor little thing.
3.)All parts would have to had been there from the start. Scientist cannot explain how they came about and stayed on earth. They also state it appears as though they were design that way on purpose.
In addition, the force that the combustion comes out is so forceful that it should shoot the little critter half way across a city block. They have special features that allow them to not only fire the twin turreted cannon, but they have pinpoint accuracy.
You tell me, if there was no God who created these creatures as is, how in existence did they get here.
My concern to you is why are you so angry with God that you feel you must deny His very existence.
And here is an idea. Explain the existance of evilution without using a science book. Doesn't make any more sense than asking to explain God without using the bible.

The Bible is a plagiarism of Judaism and Paganism. There is no proof for the existence of God, otherwise we would all believe it.
The proof that he doesn't exist is that people say "Can you prove he doesn't exist?" What a pitiful line of reasoning that is! Can you prove there is no Flying Spaghetti Monster? Can you prove that there aren't crab people living miles beneath the earth's surface?
I believe the believers call it Faith, as if believing something without evidence is admirable...

The difficulty with a question like this, and so many similar ones, is that we do not agree on words like 'evidence' and 'proof'. In one sense God exists - he exists in the minds and thoughts of millions of people who are Christians. Call him something slightly different like Yahweh or Allah, and he exists in more people. Does anyone want me to prove that?
But the questioner seems to want more. There is a request for some other evidence. The general method for a scientist to proceed in this case is to make some form of prediction and then test it. If there was a God ... would happen. Does it? Yes, there is a God or no, there isn't a God.
The bible attempts to do it but is treated by suspicion by those who don't like it. For instance, did Jesus predict his death? Some would say he did, some would say he did but because he knew he was going to provoke the authorities so it was self fulfilling. Others will say he didn't. It was all written down afterwards. So how does this help?
Let me now be provocative: -
Suppose I said that as a disciple of Christ I prophesy that God is angry with the US administration because of the killings in Iraq and their refusal to do anything about Global Warming and as a result God will harden the hearts of the American people so that the next President will be a Democrat.
Why will you not believe in God when a Democrat is elected to the White House?

With all love,
God is not proved, he is experienced. Your question is like someone trying to prove the taste of an orange. There are no words to describe the taste of an orange to someone who has never tasted an orange. It is only in experiencing it and tasting it yourself that you begin to understand the words that were used to describe the taste.
Try to explain an orgasm to someone who has not had one.
You question assumes that he is knowable and thus describable. He is not. All Holy text claim he is not knowable. This includes the Torah, Bible, Quran and most other text held to be Holy by masses of people. How may one prove something they do not know? While he is experienced via all physical things, he is no physical thing, yet he is all physical things. Physical things can be described and "proved", often times eventually the proof as described is altered, changed or disproved with time.
What is offensive to atheist is how different religious bodies hold their perceptions of God to be absolute to the point of being violent in the face of other culture or perspective. The atheist rightly knows that this eruption of violence is not compatible with the general concept of a loving God. Yet the organized bodies surrounding their respective Holy Text are divisive in nature and do not show the love of God toward other culture or religions. It is easy to see how people may reject the way some "religious" bodies present their concept of God. They may worship him in words of love for their fellow man and yet with deed they condemn others that do not look as they do, dress as they do, believe as they do, worship as they do, read the exact same "Holy Text" that they do or use the same words as they do to describe God.
In closing, like the taste of the orange, God can not be proved to anyone who has never tasted or experienced him. Nor can the taste of the orange successfully be argued as not to exist, in the heart one who has tasted the fruit.
Respectfully, the premise and supposition of your question may be flawed when God is viewed in this way. There is no compelling argument that is not circular to prove either the position of the taster nor the position of the one who has never tasted.
He can not be proved or disproved, he can only be lived.
Tell me who enters the garden first, the one who professes the love of God but does not live it or one who does not profess it, but lives it?
Living God is living love. It does not matter what words you use or "religion" you use, as all words and all "religion" are hollow whose practitioners do not live the love of God revealed through Christ / God / Buddha / Krishna consciousness.
Live love! Love all, serve all!
Blessings and peace to all,
All in all,
B

barring the use of eye-witness accounts will make it difficult to prove anything. However, you cited not using the Bible, the Torah and the Quran both mimic the accounts of the old testament because they all acknowledge the same creator. If you restrict the use of these texts then I would have to challenge you to "prove" evolution without citing any scientific texts.

Why can't you use that you feel him in you? GOD is Spiritual. To truly understand someone when they say they feel them in him you have to believe and accepted him as your savior. One day my husband and I had got into a BIG FIGHT, not to get into detail I stepped outside to do something during our argument and he (my husband) locked me out the house. During that time I felt that my life was meaning the life I had with my husband as my family was over. I got down on my knees outside and I began to pray. I felt like EVERYTHING WAS OVER to the point were my heart was just smashed into pieces. While I was praying I felt him, I felt like my family had a new beginning I felt his presences every single tear dried and I knew EVERYTHING was going to be alright. Have you ever experienced something like that before. Only through GOD amazing graze.
Merry Christmas
GOD BLESS

yes, every beautiful things have a creator, you cannot seriously believe that the wonderful things in natural just come out of nothing. It is chaotic in the begining, and has always been.

OK! Have u seen your Great great grandfather in real person? If not how come u believe that he Lived?
Dont tell me you saw his photo. Or your parents or grandparents told you about them.
If you want to argue it will gain you nothing. Instead if you will believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who died for your sins as your ONLY GOD & Saviour, you shall be saved.
