Zakir. You wonder why we are so hostile to your so called arguments.
Imagine if you will, if I took myself to a Muslim forum and started pronouncing my beliefs that there is no god and that all the Muslim posters were wrong and just didn't understand my arguments. How do you think they would react? (apart from declaring holy war on me and threatening to kill me and my family of infidels for daring to disagree).
Because that is exactly what you have done here. I'm a scientist and I believe in evidence, if you can produce some that conclusively proves your point I am open minded enough to listen. However there isn't and never has been any such evidence. The 'evidence' that is usually cited for the existence of god is nothing of the sort, it is all assertion, supposition and just plain fantasy.
And for the record, it is not up to US to prove you wrong, it is for you to prove yourself right! That's how science works. You come up with a theory, then test that theory to see if it holds up. Not the other way around. I cannot state some ridiculous claim then put the onus on everyone else to prove me wrong! It just doesn't work like that!

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true - Carl Sagan
