Looking Farther: No Gods on Saturn
This just in: NASA’s Cassini space probe has found no evidence of gods in our solar system. Hmm. I wonder why that is….
Why is science seemingly hostile to religion? (Any hostility exists in how the results are received.) Because science refuses to place a finger on the scale when weighing the evidence for gods. Honest science, anyway. Objectivity doesn’t favor the existence of gods. The inkblot of subjective experience, however — well hell, anything can be made of that.
Yes, I’m an atheist. No, don’t take my word for it. Look at the evidence. Good evidence. And what you will find is that Saturn is devoid of evidence of a god. And a quadrillion other things are likewise devoid of gods and/or their influence.
Speaking of devoid of gods, I invite you to check out the latest godless blogging carnival: Carnival of the Godless, No. 136 – Revolutionary Communist Edition!

Maybe it is the evidence , I mean man did not put it there , surely it is a debate for a creator , to say that there is no evidence of good is incorrect ,you cannot disprove that theory!

“There is no evidence good is incorrect”? I assume you mean god. How so? What evidence, that qualifies as evidence to objective observers, do you have?
Also, I think you mean “you cannot disprove that HYPOTHESIS.” For the existence of a god is not a theory but a hypothesis.
Finally, “proof” is for mathematics. What science does is tell us what we do and do not know about the universe. Right now, we do know there is a lack of unequivocal evidence for a god. Which makes the claim “there is a god,” unscientific and unfounded.
