There is evidence however,that god is a man made idea, coming from the dawn of civilization, originally to try to explain things humans had not figured out about the natural world hence the gods being gods of thunder,rain etc. until somebody came up with the idea of a god who controlled everything, and so monotheism was born.The burden of proof lies on those who claim something/one exists. So until you prove that god exists, it is you who appears the greater fool.
