Atheism is flawed along side Evolution. You can't prove that there is no God. In order to do so you would need to go to every single part of the universe all at the same time. But in order to know that there is a God all you need to do is encounter him once. And as to Finite-Godism it is flawed. A God by definition is infinite.

You can't prove that the universe isn't ruled by mystical purple elves living under a garden shed in the Andromeda Galaxy. Do do you, you would need to go to every single part of the Andromeda Galaxy in which there might be a garden shed, all at the same time.
A God by definition is infinite.
If God is infinite by definition, you wouldn't have to go to every point in the universe at the same time to check whether or not he's there, since by definition, he's everywhere at once. So all you have to do is find one place he doesn't exist, and at least you can prove that he isn't "infinite".
But in order to know that there is a God all you need to do is encounter him once.
Same reasoning for God. So let people decide. And even if you believe in God, the Bible can´t be taken literarilly, if that´s what you mean. Or did you seriously met a man with beard and living in Heaven?
If I encountered god once, I would certainly believe in him...after accusing him of being an extraterrestrial or extradimensional being, or any of the other things that are more likely than him being "god."
Hm...encountering God. You know, that actually might make me reconsider your position. If I just've seen God...
Ok, we can't prove that an invisible, untraceable, do-nothing god does not exist. Can we stop talking about irrelevant gods now?
Atheism is just a lack of belief in gods, not a dogma teaching that there are no gods.
If I did encounter a god or goddess, then I would certainly start believing in him or her, but until I do, I'll continue being an atheist, as all evidence to date show that there is no evidence for the existence of any gods.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
