Read carefully "arguments from ignorance does not mean that one can never possess good reasons for thinking that something does not exist". So you should have a reason for thinking that something does not exist. You never state the reason. That's exactly my point. You simply said that God does not exist because there is no evidence of God existence. You even claim that it is a proof (without stating any reason).
....that is the reason. I'm not speaking for Mael, but for me, anyway, the fact that there's no good reason to believe in God (i.e., lack of proof or evidence) is the primary reason I don't believe in God.

I obviously agree with this statement, but not how you reached this statement. There have been things throughout history that did not have any evidence to support them that eventually did. So, saying that we don't have evidence now isn't a good reason to say we will never have evidence.
Though I agree, the odds of evidence ever being provided for God is a centillion to one.
