11 reasons god doesn't exist.

Don't quote me on this stuff. I copied it! But it makes sense!
1. There is no Geological proof of the great flood.
2. Adam and Eve could not have existed because fossil records CLEARLY show that dinosaurs and earlier forms of life came 3 BILLION years before humans.
3. Evolution has shown that we developed from apes, we haven't just stayed the same.
4. The fact that there are religions older than Christianity, why would Jesus come only recently, when humans have existed for roughly 2 Million years.
5. 'Angels' and messengers from God seem to only have appeared 2000 years ago, and very frequently, why don't they anymore?
6. There are bad things in the world, why doesn't God stop them, if he loves us with all his heart? Letting someone suffer relentlessly, when you have the power to stop the pain easily, is not love.
7. A woman cannot have a baby and still be a virgin, simple as that.
8. There are things that ARE impossible, even to God, such as: you cannot add 2 and 2 to equal 198, you cannot take 6 away from 2 without equalling a negative number.
9. If god is so forgiving, why did he create a hell?
10. Why are children born dead, and with diseases and disabilities, they didn't do anything wrong did they?
And if you still are not convinced, here is the big whammy:
11. IF GOD CAN DO ANYTHING, CAN HE BUILD A ROCK SO HEAVY, THAT EVEN HE CAN'T CARRY?
To do such a thing is impossible if he can do anything, because if he can't lift the rock, he can't do everything, therefore the Bible is wrong, therefore God is not real.

*sigh*
Whilst 1-10 might be reasons to doubt the validity of Christianity, none of them disprove the existence of God.
#11 is a logical fallacy known as a loaded question. Please don't use it. Also, it does not follow that "the Bible is wrong" means "God does not exist".

God answered that one:

"The bible is wrong" would absolutely mean that the christian god, specifically, doesn't exist. Rinse and repeat with all the rest. Arguing deism and then naming it Jehovah just for the hell of it is complete bullshit. Theistic gods are absolute trash, every single one of them. The deist's god is a functional non-entity. Theistic gods have evidence aligned against them, deist's gods have no evidence behind them. So where does that leave us?
Hardliners on either side might retort with "what evidence could there be and how would we find it?" I challenge you to imagine a god for which there would be no material evidence.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That is quite an interesting jump, from "he can't do everything" to "therefore the Bible is wrong". Once again, I never wrote this!

God doesn't exist because there's not one iota of credible evidence to show that he does. Simple as that.
The arguments above are good but any Christian apologist will simply poo-poo them away.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

That argument is illogical.

You know its funny, I prepared a lengthy response about how its senseless trying to disprove God when the concept is so meaningless and incoherent...
...ah who cares?

The Higgs boson comes to mind.
