And are you aware of how dumb it is to accuse me of using the Bible to prove a point about the existence of God, especially since it was to you I referenced the Bible at all in this thread?
Nothing dumber than a so-called Christian that argues and debates as though he doesn't know which side of the argument he stands.
No Christian can “win arguments” about the existence of god either with or without a bible.
If you weren’t using the bible to prove god exists, then what were you doing?
I know exactly which side of this “argument” I stand and I’ve already explained it. You said I was over complicating it but failed to say how.

I struggle to tie my shoelaces but I know where my feet are.

Yet atheists still claim to know there is no God. Based on what knowledge?

That's obtuse considering that no "Christian" ever came to a saving knowledge of God's grace without the Bible.
You sound like a defeatist Christian.
Why don't you try focusing on the question posed in the OP? I'll rephrase the question using your statement above as a pattern to make it easier for you to understand.
What argument can an atheist make proving the non-existence of a creator God "either with or without" knowledge?

Well, maybe an atheist who believes there is no god or gods will come along at some point and answer your question. As I said earlier, Ghost of a Duke is the only such atheist among the regular posters that I can think of.

I've already answered this; there is no argument that can prove the non-existence of God any more than there is an argument that can prove the non-existence of tooth fairies. The onus is on Christians and ultimately God to "prove" his existence.
Just because Christians believe that God exists doesn't make me statement less true or me less of a Christian. In my profile there a scripture from Ecclesiastes which I think explains this dynamic; God has put eternity in the hearts of men and women but they cannot perceive it without faith. The problem come with the need of the mind to rationalise everything, to "prove" everything.
Incidentally it's the same in business these days I feel; everyone wants absolute proof and it stifles vision and creativity.

Aw. Those poor followers of Jesus prior to the 3rd Century. No bible.
And even when there was a bible most people could not read it.
And even now there are multiple versions of the bible.
