The short answer is maybe, no, likely or yes. But if I left it at the short answer you'd already be done reading so I'll expound.
If you've ever had a near-death experience, you'll probably say yes because maybe you saw "the white light". Or maybe following that near-death experience you were just under a very bright light. Whatever the case, nobody will ever agree on whether or not God is real although fans of a certain Kevin Smith movie will argue that it is Alanis Morissette. Whatever.
The point here is that I have irrefutable proof that God is simply a myth made up to explain the unexplainable in the world.
Think about all the things in today's world that if God were real wouldn't be allowed to exist under his (or her) mighty hand. There would be no war, no televangelists begging for money and no sitcom spinoffs. Bigotry, racism and sexism wouldn't exist and neighter would Donald Trump, Rosie O'Donnell or Carrot Top.
Honeybees wouldn't be dying off at an alarming rate. M. Night Shymalan's movies would never make it to theatres. Hell, they'd never even make it to production.
Is that proof enough or do you need more? (Is meant to be comedic or not? You decide.)
Nope, MinnPics hasn't discovered any photos of God but some of the stunning photos showcased there may make you say "Oh my God!" aloud.

Paris Hilton, the entire cast of The Hills and "sex addiction" are my proof that God is a myth.
Maybe God has a split personality and gives the good along with the bad?
Some say God doesn't exist because you can't prove the existence of God. Some say God exists because you can't prove the non-existence of God.
If the Bible is correct, God invented war. Balou called it a split personality, scholars and theologians call it duality.
I loved Dogma. what a stupid movie, but that was the beauty of it.
I didn't like 'the happening' however.
I think God does exist, but only to people who want him/her to exist. Some times it's nice to put the blame on someone who isn't going to get pissed until you die, or the other way around.
I love the comments so far though. what a laugh!
God himself told me he wasn't real. Then he asked me for a buck outside 7-11.
I remember a little something said about God giving free will to humans from Bible class as a kid.
I know God, he wears pleated front khakis. Not exactly a fashion guru.
I think he's messin' with us. "Hey, what if I do this?"...
We are totally God's pets. Sometimes we pee on the carpet, but he loves us anyway.

There is no god(s). But, I can't "prove" that (or that there is not an invisible pink unicorn sitting on my shoulder right now), so why bother? People believe what they want to believe.
But, what you refer to, Sornie, is called
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_problem_of_evil
and it's really only a refutation of the existence of god if your conception of god does not allow him to be jealous and vindictive i.e. you believe that he simply HAS to be good and would never do anything that is bad for humans. Having read the WHOLE bible, I don't think this is an accurate portrayal of god, especially the god of the Old Testament.
So, you can believe in god and accept that he does horrible, horrible things to humans, but then you'd have to believe on a god that is contrary to the candy-coated god they sell you at Sunday school.
OR, you can cling to a lovey-dovey conception of god, and the existence of evil in the wrold therefore obviates the possibility of that god.
Take your pick.
God gave us free will. If he hadn't, we would all be robots. The result of Him giving us free will is people doing great, good, bad or even horrible things. It's like a parent and child relationship. You can't FORCE your child to do everything that is good for him. He has to figure a lot of it out on his own.
