Dear Dr. Ramendra,
I have just read your book "Is God Dead?" and I think that you are quite right in most of your reasonings and arguments.
However I do believe that you have actually failed to disprove the existence of God on at least two major accounts.
First of all you are basing all your arguments on the assumption that humans' life on Earth is the ultimate goal of human beings. You will understand that in most faiths, especially Christian faith, believers believe that life on earth is just a transition and humans should celebrate death rather than life because it is then that they can be granted eternal life.
This also undermines your arguments about natural disasters because if the faith is correct, natural disasters are arguably not evil but rather divine because they bring more people towards God.
Moreover, although I am not much of a Hindu expert, you quote Buddhism as being an atheist branch, which it is not. Buddhists believe in re-incarnation - thus the existence of the soul - thus the existence of the supernatural.
I am far from a theologian myself, but in my honest opinion your whole argument is highly flawed and I do believe that any theologian with a proper background could lambast your theories in a few minutes.
