This question stems from that when i told my dad i was an atheist, he said the reasons i have were "weak" and that i will have to study until i am at least 40 to say that i'm an atheist.
He's just looking for a way to tell you that you need to disprove God to not believe in him, and to make things better, he's refusing to listen to anything you have to say on the matter because of an arbitrary amount of research he said you need to do to disprove God. This is obviously horse shit. You don't need a reason to not believe in God. I'm pretty sure my two-year-old daughter is atheist, simply because she has no clue what a god is. She needs a reason to start believing that stuff.
Text time he tells you he believes in God, tell him he needs to study it for 969 years like Methuselah, or it doesn't count.
