God does not exist. Here's a simple way to prove it.
Now, there are many definitions of God, so I will go with the definition of the Christian God. I will state the definition of god given by the Christian belief so I cannot prove my argument and somebody will say "That's not God, God is yadda yadda"
The definition of God is that he is:
1: Supernatural (immaterial)
2: Omniscient (all-knowing)
3: Omnipowerful (all-powerful)
4: Omnibonevolent (all-good)
I will dissect arguments 2, 3, and 4 to prove God is not real. I could also do so for 1, but I don't want to.
2. God is all-knowing. If God is all-knowing, then why do you pray? Since he knows anything, there's no need to tell him something he already knows. And if he would have known Adam and Eve would be tempted into eating from the tree of knowledge, and he didn't want them to, then why did he put the tree where they could reach it? Why have the tree there at all?
3. God is Omnipotent . Could God make a stone so big even he could not lift it? If he couldn't, he isn't all-powerful because he couldn't make the stone, and if he could, he isn't Omnipotent because he couldn't lift the stone. It's called the Omnipotent paradox.
4. God is Omnibonevolent... This itself collides with 3, that he is Omnipotent. Simply put, if god could only do good, then he couldn't do everything, since doing evil things is doing something, so he isn't all-powerful.
Also, read this:
"[i]I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and [b]create evil[/b]: I the Lord do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7, KJV)[/i]. This is God talking about himself in the first person, directly stating that he creates evil, and is therefore not all-good.
It is possible that an entity with great power could exist somewhere, but the Christian God does not exist.

1 RespuestaI form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord , who does all these things. Isaiah 45:7 ESV Slightly different. ESV is a word for word translation btw. But I see your point. Here's the way one person put it, I like his points. " Isaiah 45:7 in the King James Version reads, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” How does Isaiah 45:7 agree with the view that God did not create evil? There are two key facts that need to be considered. (1) The word translated “evil” is from a Hebrew word that means “adversity, affliction, calamity, distress, misery.” Notice how the other major English Bible translations render the word: “disaster” (NIV, HCSB), “calamity” (NKJV, NAS, ESV), and “woe” (NRSV). The Hebrew word can refer to moral evil, and often does have this meaning in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, due to the diversity of possible definitions, it is unwise to assume that “I create evil” in Isaiah 45:7 refers to God bringing moral evil into existence. (2) The context of Isaiah 45:7 makes it clear that something other than “bringing moral evil into existence” is in mind. The context of Isaiah 45:7 is God rewarding Israel for obedience and punishing Israel for disobedience. God pours out salvation and blessings on those whom He favors. God brings judgment on those who continue to rebel against Him. “Woe to him who quarrels with his Master” (Isaiah 45:9). That is the person to whom God brings “evil” and “disaster.” So, rather than saying that God created “moral evil,” Isaiah 45:7 is presenting a common theme of Scripture – that God brings disaster on those who continue in hard-hearted rebellion against Him. " Just an idea. (Not looking to debate just bringing some clarity)
