What you also have to consider though is what God actually is.

For example...

Some theories have it that the universe created itself. Technically that would make the universe and everything in it God. Including you and me.

Is there an old looking white dude with a bead standing on top of clouds?

Not whenever I've flown anywhere no.

There is an answer to just about anything, it depends on how you phrase the question.

What makes "God" such a difficult thing to perceive is that it's different for all people (even within the same faith).

So "does God exist?" Is an invalid question really. Does your God exist? would be more appropriate.

Then, to really mess with your head. If your God doesn't exist to other people does it not exist at all? Example. If you're considered crazy, but truly believe God has spoken to you, the God that exists in your mind does exist, just not to people who don't share the same delusions.

Therefore, God both does and doesn't exist no matter what has or has not been proven.

So specify what you mean by the existence of God and it'll make finding the answer a lot easier.

(I can explain that so much better when I haven't had a few beers.)
