Better arguments than Tyson complaining that we cannot see certain types of rays with our human eye. Natural disasters would be a good one. Problem of Evil / etc.
Not the answer I was looking for. There is actually no way to disprove the existence of something.
And yet, the inability to disprove it exists does not mean that it does. This type of logic forms the cornerstone of science. I think I saw you mention before how science actually supports religion. Well if that is true then why are the fundamentals of science ignored when assessing the validity of religion itself? Shouldn't each complement the other in such a world? You are a very bright person HST, I hope that I am bringing you to look at the world more objectively, and that you ultimately achieve greater happiness.

oh my god shut up
if you honestly believe that you should off yourself right now and find out of you'll be with your precious god, because you aren't welcomed here
Can't use that kind of logic here, since they've been taught to believe they'll be sent to hell if they kill themselves. Convenient, huh? Don't try to grab this awesome thing I want to give you, or I'll mess you up!

God won't force you to choose him. You have free will and need to make the decision to accept him :) It's the same concept as love. You cannot force love on each other, but both people have to accept it.
I don't want to sound blunt, but he has his heart open for you already.
And science is beckoning you with open arms. You have free will. Yet science does not require you to accept it in order for you to reap its benefits. It merely asks you to open your eyes and observe, then open your mind and analyze what you have seen. It's like the world's greatest gentleman. You can call him names and spill his coffee, yet if you ask he'll still get up and open the door for you. Just like it has opened the door to the world of scripts and programming for you.
