[Judge] Counselor "God is myth" is a statement, its not evidence
[DA]but your Honor! you cant see him he has to be a Myth
[Judge]Counselor, there are a lot of things you cannot see. that doesn't make them a myth.
[DA] But your Honor Steven Hawking says, God didn't create the universe.
[Judge]your presenting two arguments here counselor. God being a Myth and God not creating the Universe are 2 different cases.
[DA]But your Honor do you know who Steven Hawkings is?? the man has become legend in the Atheist community and he says God didn't create the Universe
[Judge]and he has evidence of this?
[DA]I don't know your Honor I didn't read his work.

[DA]But your Honor, what more evidence could you want?? you cant see God and Steven Hawkings says he didn't create the universe.
[Judge] your going to have to do better than that Counselor

Romans 1:19-21 (New International Version)
"19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse"
[Judge] Case Dismissed
