God's existence still has not been proven. Evidence must be demonstrable.

I have to say "if" because I don't know if God exists or not. I very strongly believe he does exist and you apparently strongly believe this belief to be a bullshit pile of Harry Potter fiction bollocks.

If you actually wanted to be ignorant then you could become a Young Earth Creationist. I don't think atheism would be for you, I thought it was for people who wanted to not be ignorant.

The arguments that haven't been understood/properly refuted by anyone? You can't just yell "burden of proof! when presented with a logical argument for Gods existence you know.

What a dilemma. Then believing in a god is a waste of time if a claim that he's real falls flat on its face.

You can explain why I haven't done so than just give me your own opinion. A five word sentence expressing your own opinion does not a counter argument make.

But everything that begins to exist has a cause, you know is this I don't understand what you're trying to assert counter to this observation regarding the nature of reality as we understand it. There must be a one cause for everything to avoid infinite regress and this keeps it line with Occams Razor. You keep things as simple as they need to be. God is the simple explanation anything else would be far too complex, make no sense and it would probably take an infinite amount of time/things happening in as sequence for the Earth to even form. This is the same thing as nothing ever happening at all. But the universe exists and we exist so we know something exists.
