Yes, I say there is no evidence to support the existence of any god.
I do not have to prove god does not exist. Can you prove the invisible pink unicorn that rules the universe does not exist? If you cannot, should you then believe in it? You would not. It would not be rational.
It is the burden of the positive claimant to provide the evidence. Without positive evidence, there is no reason to believe.
We need to learn to think critically.

In a way I can.
Your belief in God requires the same ingredients as all the mythical gods in human history. The things you rely on for evidence can all be used to verify a belief in Neptune and Leprechauns. I am guessing you and I both can agree that Neptune and Leprechauns don't exist, but if we were talking to people who read the book of kells and felt sure that they did exist, we would have a terrible time convincing them that they were mistaken. Especially if they were brought up to belief in Neptune.
The same applies to Allah and to God. Believers all claim evidence and then point to the bible or to personal experience attributed to God but ultimately it comes down to faith.
Which can be used to believe in anything, and doesn't equate to existence or evidence.
So if Leprechauns don't exist, and are made of the same ingredients as God then God has to be suspect

I have philosophical evidence that debunk claims the abrahamic religions.
Christians claim god exists outside of time and space and that because of that we cannot use scientific data or evidence to either prove or disprove him. In light of such a problem we turn to philosophy to disprove god as I shall do. Time and space are relatively easy concepts which I shall explain; time is an illusion which is change and our memory of it and space is the ability to exist within. Now we will examine what it would be like to exist outside of time and space. To exist outside of time you would have to either be unable to change or move or remember any change therefore disabling the ability to change/move. Existence for such a being would render it absolutely powerless and useless as it would be unable to think or move.
The bible is supposed to be the word of god yet as I have shown above that such a being could not exist therefore this bible is not his word. I shall show you where the stories and ideas come from as they are either stolen or historical events that gained, over time, mythological aspects. The stolen ideas and stories predate the abrahamic religion. The idea of god speaking things into existence is stolen from Ancient Egyptian mythology in which Ptah speaks things (namely the gods). The story of the flood comes from the Epic of Gilgamesh although in the Epic of Gilgamesh the name of the survivor is Utanapishtim. The idea of one god comes from Zoroaster.
Sigmund Freud wrote a book, Future of an Illusion, which explains why the phenomena of god came into existence. If you want I can lend you the book as Freud does an excellent job and I cannot do his writings justice.
so as you can see i have the upper hand.

Can you prove that he does?
For every reason Christians can come up with as "evidence" to indicate he does, Atheists and people of other faiths can come up with at least as good a reason why he might not. Or at the very least, a good reason why you should actually take the time to question it instead of following the dogma like another mindless zombie...

Um, one cannot prove the non-existence of something. It is up to the one making the outrageous claim to prove existence.
Go for it. We'll wait. As usual...

Honey, I don't need to prove anything, you do. Its up to the person making the POSITIVE claim to prove their assertions. YOU are making the claim that your god exists, so you must prove he does, it is not up to me to prove he doesn't.
Incidentally... there is no proof of your gods existance. Show me some REAL PROOF (the bible, "look in a mirror" and "look out the window" ARE NOT) and we'll talk.

No one ever said that we had evidence that he doesn't exist......we just say that it's much more logical and probable that he/she/it doesn't exist. No one and I mean no one knows for sure.

I think that the burden of proof is on your shoulders...otherwise, I could say that a three headed horse exists and would not have to show you one, dumb s h i t.

The burden of proof rests on the believer, not the non-believer. We can't prove a negative, like the same way we can't prove that there isn't a teacup floating in outer space somewhere.

god's existence cannot be proven or disproven. Same way I tell you there is teapot orbiting the earth, but it's so small nobody can see, ever, but it's there.
