RE: There is no proof!
It would be if God had not gone to the effort of providing us with a whole multi-millenia historical record of His interactions with mankind. But since He did, the scales are tipped in favor of the believer. All the poor atheist can do is complain that the historical record was not preserved well enough.
Granted, it's not perfect proof. But its a "hell" of a lot better than what the atheist has got. :o)
There's evidence that the historical record isn't accurate, though. Like I mentionned in another thread, the fossil record indicates the flood didn't happen. We don't have evidence that there is no god, but we have evidence that the bible is probably untrustworthy. There's plenty of evidence that points towards evolution and not intelligent design as described in genesis, for instance. And most historians now agree that the exodus was a myth and not a historical event.
Well, we all have to take responsibility for how we process the information available to us and which historians we will believe. But if "historians" are going to throw out the impeccably preserved historical accounts from the Bible, then they are going to be completely out of business since no other historical account on the planet comes anywhere near the pedigree of the Bible. Not even in the same league.
