Your problem, all of you, is that you're trying to reconcile the physical world we see around us with a power that is beyond comprehension. First-off, using our "logic" to prove or disprove god would require human reasoning to be flawless. If even one tiny aspect of our logic were flawed, it would completely negate any attempt to disprove the existence of God. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not overly impressed with our reasoning skills. However many million years ago, some low-browed neanderthall discovered if you smash two rocks together you get fire. Now, 2000 years after the death of Christ (dare i speak his name), we've moved beyond fire to such things as the atomic bomb and fossil fuels. Sure, it took a bit more head-scratching to come up with these things, but at the end of the day, we've only discovered more advanced ways of smashing rocks together. We say we're making great discoveries, that we're explaining the mysteries of the universe, but all we're really doing is analyzing, quantifying, and utilizing pre-existing powers that are totally beyond our control. We can split an atom and think, "Hey, Wow!! I could probably blow up a city doing that", but we can't explain why that atom exists in the first place, or where that enormous energy came from. There are a lot of mysterious questions like that out there. Problems that really knock us down a peg. Here's a doozy: Does the Universe end, or is it infinite? Our solar system ends, our galaxy ends, so certainly the Universe must end. But if we ever reach that end, what's on the other side? Not only does our logic fail to answer this question, it is proven to be fundamentally incorrect and contradictory because of it. After all our advancements, if we can't make sense of such a quaint, fundamental question, how could we possibly trust our logic to disprove the existence of God? This is all philosophical fluff though. The fact of the matter is that our logic has sent the world to hell in a handbasket. It's been barely a hundred years since the industrial revolution and we're threatened by global warming, nuclear war, the pollution of our food supply and a thousand other tragedies. The real question is, when you watch the news at night, do you really want to get out of bed in this world if God doesn't exist?
