The argument against god that there is no proof
My few thoughts on this are as follows, 1. Why would this almighty god be subjected to what a human demands as proof?
I don't know. If you believe that this God made us then surely that God should have the answer to this question right?

Yes, Barry the dragon God has done a fine job in the horse head nebula don't you think?
In all seriousness, no. No evidence anything was 'created' and hence no reason to presume a creator.

Which God? The bible God? I'd certainly believe that it existed, but I would in no way 'worship' it. If it were in anyway possible to give such a being human attributes the best I would be able to come up with would be 'genocidal psychopath'. Can't think of why I'd want to worship that.

Proving that Satan, Adam, and Eve were wrong to reject gods sovereignty and humans are not capable of ruling themselves... how would it serve his purpose if people worshipped him out of fear of him killing them rather than from their hearts?
No idea. Not my god, so I don't really care.
