Any evidence that shows any culture that did not have some form of worship, perhaps?
Any evidence that there is NOT a Creator?
I doubt it, seriously...science MUST deal with physical, measurable, testable data, and when new data is discovered, science MUST change to accommodate it. (Those who cannot accept new evidence must face the fact that they are not intellectually honest...)
However, if anyone has any real scientific evidence for the non-existence of any Creator, I am here, and willing to listen.
Show me!!

Here is your chance to show us some real evidence...
I'm sure I am not the only Theist that would like to see what you might have to show us....

Can't any of you do better than the old "burden of proof" thing?
Ever since there have been men advanced enough to worship, there has been some form of religion...
Aren't you guys getting tired of torturing that poor pink unicorn??
And how do you really know that, somewhere in the reaches of space, there is not a planet that has unicorns living on it? Can you prove that there isn't??

Nope...but there's alot of evidence that proves there has to be One.
"I am fascinated by some strange developments going on in astronomy....The astronomical evidence leads to a Biblical view of the origin of the world". -- Robert Jastrow (Astomomer) and former Director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies
“The more I examine the universe and the details of its architecture, the more evidence I
find that the universe in some sense must have known we were coming.” - Freeman Dyson (physicist)
“The exquisite order displayed by our scientific understanding of the physical world calls
for the divine.” - Vera Kistiakowsky (physicist)
"For the scientist who has lived his dream by faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." - Robert Jastrow (astronomer and physicist)

What really gets me are people, like you, who are so iggnorant and blind that they don't even rrealize how stupid they sound. You want evidence that there is not a creator, ok. I want proof that there is and there is absolutely none. The burden of proof is on the person making the claims. Any evidence of a culture that didn't worship a creator, Well you don't have to look far I am and many like me are right here we are the culture that was brave enough to break away from the lies and ambiguos beliefs of a religion that has no stable ground to walk on,

No! Apples fell even before Newton discovered gravity, but Newton processed the same data witnessed by others in a different way. He discovered a force, which till then was not known. This realization was abstract intelligence at a sublime level, where his conclusion was not a mere deduction, or just analysis. Analysis would be a synthesis or jugglery of already known facts but where the summation leads to a “greater than” phenomenon—that is where awareness transcends intellect, analysis and reasoning.
Science is essentially related to a spatio-temporal grid. It is seemingly restrained by the confines of cause and effect. Any theory has to be reinforced by experimental verification and then ratified by adding the attributes of reputability and predictability, mediated by measurable parameters, which again are slaves of tangibles governed by the senses.

One can't prove a negative. Atheism is a belief.
There is no evidence whatsoever, none, nada, zip; not one iota of evidence anywhere that there is now or ever has been a god thingie.....or that anything in the bible is true except, perhaps, the historical observations of life at the time the author was writing.
Atheists don't have to "prove" anything. It is what it is.

Open your eyes and look around. See any creators? No. Yeah, there's not a shred of evidence to suggest any such thing. No one's ever seen anything that couldn't be explained some other way. Jumping to that conclusion ignores dozens of alternate theories more likely to be true, from hallucinations to parallel universes, to swamp gas.
The simplest solution is that human beings have a natural desire for dependency, stemming from their experience in the womb, and their infancy and childhood of being cared for. Growing up hurts and many people desperately crave some method to retard that growth. Combine that with a natural tendency for humans to anthropomorphize everything, the most basic religion is animism in which everything is a sentient spirit, and you quickly arrive at a fatherly sentient being that controls the world and absolves human beings of having to think, reason, or find happiness through their efforts in life, the satisfaction of being a slave sufficent and easily obtainable.

What would evidence for a LACK of something look like, exactly?
Put another way, evidence can only support a positive hypothesis. You cannot "prove" a null hypothesis.
However, you can DISprove a null hypothesis. All it takes is a single piece of evidence. So far, no such evidence for any god exists. The burden of proof is on the side making the positive claim.
There is plenty of evidence that no god or gods are NECESSARY to account for the universe as it exists. While this doesn't prove there are no gods, it certainly doesn't make a compelling case FOR a god or gods, either.

Alright, but before I show you the evidence, you must find repeatable, experimental evidence that a supernatural deity exists.
Don't have it? Then that's my evidence. The burden of proof rests with the person attempting to prove somethings existence not its nonexistence.

They don't have evidence that unicorns don't exist, either. Are you saying unicorns exist until science proves they don't?
You would think that if a god existed, there would be a SHRED of evidence for it.
Everything science uncovers lessens the need for, or probability of, any kind of supernatural creator being.

You cannot prove or disprove the existence of a higher power. You just have to believe or not believe based on what you feel is right. Some people feel like there is a higher power, and some people feel like there isn't. If there is one, then someday we'll know.

YOU WOULD FIRST NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ON HUMAN NATURE AS IT PERTAINS TO RELIGION. IF YOU STUDY THE EVOLUTION OF MAN, OUR PREHISTORIC ANCESTORS HAD NO RELIGION OF ANY KIND UNTIL ABOUT 25,000 YEARS AGO, WHEN THE MOTHER GODDESS EXPLODED ONTO THE PAGE. WE WENT FROM NOTHING TO TOTAL IDOL WORSHIP OF THIS NEWLY FOUND MOTHER GODDESS, BUT WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING IS HOW WE WENT FROM NOT EVEN A WHISPER OF RELIGION OR DEITIES, AND THEN WHAMOO! HERE THEY ALL COME. THAT SPEAKS MORE TO A CHANGE IN HIGHER BRAIN FUNCTION, THEN AN ACTUAL GOD. WE ALL SEEMED TO GET THE SAME IDEA AT THE SAME TIME KINDA DEAL. MEANING MAN REALLY COULD HAVE INVENTED GOD, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

You obviously don't understand even the fundamental principles of logical reasoning, so instead of talking about the impossibility of proving a negative, I'm just going to direct you here.
Here are 50 proofs. Work your way though all of them, if you dare. I doubt that your faith can stand up to them.
