Don't you realize that there is no way anyone who believes in God is going to agree with you Radar, you cannot provide any proof that God doesn't exist, it's not possible, the same as no one can provide proof that God does exist.
You can't prove a negative. That's impossible. But luckily the burden of proof rests on the shoulders of those who believe and expect others to believe. I don't have to prove god doesn't exist, he (or anyone else who wants others to believe) must prove that god does exist.

If I claimed there was a purple gorilla that could fart flames and crap golden bricks running around the mountains and playing in his gingerbread pyramid that aliens created, I wouldn't expect anyone to believe me without actual proof. And the belief in an invisible, all powerful, all knowing, omni-present, creator of all things is just as unbelievable.

I'm not asking anyone to not believe in god. Just that they don't expect me to believe in god without any physical evidence of the existence of the being of god. Not what they claim to be the deeds of god. But the actual entity of god. I'd also like them to admit the bible isn't historical fact which should be a given since it's so full of holes and contradictions.
