The only valid proof of God's non-existence is FAITH
There are no hypotheses' that can lead to a theory that can be used to design experiments that would prove or disprove the existence of God. In this day and day and age we insist that empirical, repeatable evidence prove a theory.
Anecdotal evidence is not proof. The bible, Koran or any other missive do not nor can not prove anything about a God.
Sorry - but I cannot agree completely
The problem is - what is your definition of a "god"?
YOU see - in the case of religious god claims - there are indeed ways to evaluate claims and determine existence based on how the religions define their god. IF - for example - they claim that there are traits of their god that are not mutually possible - it is indeed possible to eliminate the god for which they make the impossible claims. THAT is where most major religions fail - they make claims that cannot actually be true AT THE SAME TIME - for an individual god.
Now - that does not prove a "god" does not exist - it just proves THEIRS cannot exist as defined.
When you look at the claims of proof from religions - it is almost always some form of claim about the existence of an "ordered" universe (Which does not actually exist) - but the problem is - even if a HIGHER power was needed to initiate the process of evolution - a "creator" with just that ONE power is all that is implied - not an all everything god that religions claim.
