If jesuslovesyou/stucky can still read this, or has stopped trolling. Google, Russells teapot, and you too will understand why the burden of proof lies at your feet. I do not believe in a god, because there is no reason too. If science show tomorrow that they have proof of a god, I will read the material myself and if it is confirmed by other reputable scientists, I will become a.................

Not a fucking Christian.
Why do you need others to help you decide on such a serious matter? And anyway, the fact that something has not been proven to your satisfaction does not mean it is not true, does it? The American continent, for instance, existed long before it was known about in Europe. To have asserted that it didn't exist because there was no evidence about it a millennium ago would have been absurd, would it not?
If you're going to deny the existence of everything until it is proven to your satisfaction and a majority of scientists you approve of are also convinced, would you not simply be a hindrance to scientific discovery? Shouldn't your task be to go out and find evidence yourself - conclusive evidence - and not wait for others to do that job for you - making life as difficult for them as possible in the meantime.
