Its like Volcanos.
There is no group of people who claim volcanos do NOT exist. You will never see a debate about the existance of volcanos. Why? Because there is hard empiricial evidence that volcanos exist. It is conclusive.
No if you define "proof" like David Korresh or Jim Jones did, then there is probably lots of "proof".
Writing down "god exits" is not proof.
The day God shows up and he is 500 feet tall, and he turns Kansas into gold, and slays 1 billion people, there will be no more aethists or non-believers. The entire world will convert to whatever the big guy says to convert too.

P.S. I have proof that Cows rule the world. If you can not discern this, it doesn't mean that the proof isn't there. You just refuse to believe the evidence/proof that is right in front of you.

If you are serious about exploring the possibility of God, I have a suggested reading for you sir. Granted it's not exactly "easy reading".
Thomas Aquinas' 'Summa Theologica'
Chapt. 1 begins w/ Prima Pars or
Sacred Doctrine
"We cannot know what God is, but only what He is not. So to study Him, we study what He has not -- such as composition and motion"
It is very easy to dismiss God. I did this for over half my life. I had no need for religion or any God. I was too absorbed in my own life to care or bother. I was caught up in the pursuit of career and materialism. I flipped the station when a Minister or Preacher was speaking of God, waste of time I thought...they only want my donations. The Catholic church was too busy hiding pedophilic priests...
I was lucky, my heart had not yet hardened past the point of no return. I mistook human frailties and failings as proof God answers no prayers; God is just an excuse, religion is weakness.
I hope that you too sir, do not allow your heart to harden to the possibilities of God.
For with God, all things are possible.
In order to begin this spiritual journey, the words of Thomas Aquinas must be accepted...
We cannot know what God is.
Hence it is a spiritual journey and one worth taking.
