Some day, I think as a human race, our intellect will evolve to a state high enough to disprove a god's existence. Don't forget one of the most popular atheist arguement---
"god of the gaps." To refresh people, god of the gaps states that god hides behind our current knowledge of the universe. For example, when we didn't know how lightning worked, we thought a god made it, but when we got smart enough to grasp how lightning works, we moved on from accepting that a god did it (at least I hope people still don't think god creates lightning). Two of our greatest holes in our knowledge are the concept of our origin, and what happens to us after we die. But even as we speak, there are scholars and scientists and the like debating out the theory of evolution, a widely accepted theory, and with due time we will probably understand how we got here without godly creation. Who knows? We may even discover what happens after death someday. So my short and sweet answer is: Sure, I can't disprove a god right now, but trust me, there are plenty of us working on it.
