@IsaiahCui
I have a simple one which I said on a forum at Lichess some weeks ago.
There are many instances which shows the essence of a supernatural power. But according to science, there isn't any magic or supernatural power rather science itself. But science hasn't solved many cases which makes us think that there is something greater than science. Also, every time can't be a coincidence. There must be something other.
Actually, when people are in a critical situation, they hope and 'pray'... Wait, whom for the pray to?
There are many instances where people think of some unnatural happening when they are in a critical situation. The reason is the 'imagination of humans'. People create a super human in their mind which they imagine as supreme power to whom they pray for themselves. And that super human is called as 'God'.
In the first place, I spoke about something which is different from science, that is, everything is not answered by science.
But in second place, I called God an imagination of people.
But the first place has more impact than second. So, keeping the second argument in mind as well, we reach at conclusion:
We can assume presence of some supernatural power that is greater than science but is not God.
Hence, God doesn't exist but there exists some unknown supernatural power.
P. S. I am actually a theist.

You raise some good points, but I disagree that people change their faith all the time. In the past, large scale conversions were the result of large scale events: an Inquisition, a Crusades, or your run of the mill conquest and war like the Armenian Genocide.
People still convert, of course, but I believe (without proof) that the overwhelming majority of people in today's age maintain whatever religion they were born into.
I agree that plenty of people are moral and ethical without religion, but I disagree that religion is built on lies - or more accurately, those lies don't matter at all. If we look to the Bible as parable, for example, we can look at Noah and the Flood to not be literal truth but an example of man's selfishness and wickedness resulting in a near extinction event.
One can very easily interpret the story through the lens of climate change.
Or, in reading Cain killing Abel, is that a lesson of the dangers of unresolved fraternal jealousy, or are some people just fucked in the head? What drives men to commit evil? It doesn't matter if Cain or Abel even existed, let alone killed one another, but the story can help people view their own humanity in a different light.
If at the end of the day, none of the Bible is literally true then who cares? I have read plenty of outright fiction that has impacted my life and helped me frame difficult questions in interesting and novel ways.
i like the greek myths for story telling with a lesson attached ,
You can't prove that god doesn't exist. The best you can do is prove that there is no discernable evidence that a god exists, in which case you can't rule out the possibility that he's just really good at hiding. He's basically a ninja.
lol no not a ninja just an absent parent , mind you the mess his kids have made of the home no wonder he is off down the pub all day instead

Wouldn't be surprised if he spends all his time with his other Creation in another universe.
@clousems well apparently Hugh Everett did. I don't see why one would not be able to prove that the very concept of God is contradictory.
I can logically prove hell and heaven exists
I would be curious to see that.
Actually I can prove that God exist.
@ZwischenzugX11 will be willing to help to prove as he worshipped me as a "genius"😜
