To people who don't believe in God....what prove do you have to back it up
Who are you ShockofGod? The question itself is nonsensical. People who DON'T believe in something have nothing to prove. Those who make a POSITIVE claim hold the burden of proof. Are you going to ask people who don't believe in Santa, Martians and Bigfoot to prove they don't exist before disbelieving?
You should consider looking through the questions before asking one that has already been asked maybe hundreds of times.
Just my opinion
One word:
Logic.
Hubpages won't let me post an answer that short so disregard this sentence it is only a waste of space.
Answered beautifully at the top. One who does not believe something does not have to prove it because he's not making an argument.
it's not a matter of proof. it's common sense. look at the world and all it's problems. tsnamis, earthquakes etc., then look at humans and animals and the way they have changed over the last 20,000 years and evolution is the only explanation. if god is real , then he must be asleep.
Unable to prove a negative?
According to http://www.graveyardofthegods.net/artic … ative.html -
"Of course it is not possible to prove that God does not exist, if “God” is a thing that has no definition, no characteristics, and no location."
Now - if you said that God is a Dr. Suess cartoon that eats green cheese and ham and that the Earth is a big God turd - now we can argue!
Agnostic versus atheist.
Just becuase I admit I have no idea about the nature of God - doesn't mean I don't believe.
From http://wiki.ironchariots.org/index.php? … ._agnostic -
" 1. God exists.
2. God does not exist.
There are two positions one can take with respect to either claim:
1. Belief or acceptance
2. Disbelief or rejection
For claim number 2 (the god does not exist), the theist takes the second position (disbelief), while the atheist can hold either position (belief or disbelief).
While logic dictates that exactly one of the two claims above must be true (assuming the concept of "god" is sufficiently well-defined in the first place), there is no such restriction in the case of belief. Just because someone doesn't believe something, that doesn't mean they believe the opposite."
Perhaps a question of strong atheism.versus weak atheism might be what you are looking for instead.

Can an atheist prove their is no God?I think this is a fair question to ask a person who is atheist. This question is not asking for christians to prove there is a God. I am asking if an atheist can prove their isn't. I would ask that all replies to this question be kept civil. Any insulting...

Atheist say that they can't prove that God do not exist,so.......that make them just as ignorant about the matter as those that they say can't prove that He does.That is a clear view of the Pot calling the kettle black.Do you agree.There is more proof that He does exist than He doesn't.They don't...

Many believers like to say that Atheists should prove that there is no God. Believers should know that existence has to be proved, not the non-existence. If a thing exists, it is possible to prove its existence. So believers should prove the existence of God if he exists. But if they want to do it,...

"A theological position close to the Popperian philosophy of science is known as the Via Negativa, a view apparently held by the Cappadocian Fathers of the fourth century who based their whole world view on questions that could not be answered. For example, while they believed in God, they did...

Atheists claim that God does not exist, show me the proof that backs up this claim.

A lot of skeptics made the following logical fallacy:Skeptics: Can you prove that God exists? if not, then you are illogical if you believe in a God that you can't prove to be existing! This is the fallacy of "False Delimma" Just because you can't prove a theory or belief, doesn't mean...
