The fact is that you can not see God does not disprove the existence.

No. In time those who don't believe will stand in shock and abject misery before the judgement throne. They'll be expecting the worst. But to their great delight they'll find themselves being judged on their actions during this life rather than what they've said. There will be a confrontatio

Yes,when things go wrong, it is a human tendency to blame someone or something for what has happened, Like you who blame God.
I am aware of my past mistakes, but I try not to dwell on them. Instead, I focus on Jehovah’s forgiveness and on his loving interest in me. I wholeheartedly agree with the words of Proverbs 10:22, which says: The blessing of Jehovah—that is what makes rich, and he adds no pain with it.

I think there's a basic misunderstanding of the relationship most atheists have with God. Since we think that He doesn't exist, then we have no relationship with Him. That also means that we don't blame God for anything. One may as well blame me for the French Revolution -- I did not exist, so played no part in it whatsoever. The same with God. He does not exist, so plays no part in the state of the modern world.
No -- we blame Humans. In this, at least, atheists are no different from most religious people. I think you must be confusing atheists, "God doesn't exist or is at any rate irrelevant", with antitheists or misotheists, who are actively against either the concept of a God, or hate the one that they think exists.
In terms of the original question: not being able to see God may not disprove his existence, but it doesn't strengthen the case either. And there is a difference anyway between disproving, and providing evidence against -- and not being able to see something does provide some evidence against its existence. How much evidence depends on how likely you were able to see it, though.

No, scientific knowledge far from disproving the need for a God, has only served to confirm what a fantastically complex, intricate, and awe-inspiring world we live in. Many thinking people find it plausible to conclude that the physical laws and chemical reactions as well as DNA and the amazing diversity of life all point to a Creator. There is no irrefutable proof to the contrary.

Not those who are competent thinkers.
The physical laws are simple and very few in number. Chemistry is a direct consequence of those laws. The diversity of life is a consequence of chemistry.
Science shows us how all this complexity is built up from a simple formless burst of energy and that no direction or intelligent intervention is required.
The God hypothesis proposes that the most complex thing in the Universe was the first. It makes no sense.
Moreover science has repeatedly shown that many claims about the nature of physical reality in the Bible are wrong. Thinking people could rightly expect than that the claim that there is a God, as "evidenced" solely by being written in the Bible without a shred of verifiable physical evidence to support it, is also wrong.

At 2 Peter 3:8 we are told: One day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day, simple.
That is why true Christians can have such confidence in all matters of Bible prophecy that contain time features. Jehovah is the Great Timekeeper.
He has a set time for every purpose. When he promises a new world we can rejoice in the fact that for a certainty, exactly on time, such prophecies will be fulfilled.
So true worshipers today do not have the anxiety of the world, as you do for they know that their God, Jehovah, tells them in advance what to expect and when to expect it.
Like in almost every case when atheist, politicians, clergy, spring an attack against Jehovah’s witnesses it involves their way of worship. The rulers studiously avoid a discussion of the Bible, for they know they cannot win on Scriptural grounds. They rather resort to throwing smears against Jehovah’s witnesses.
They cannot successfully attack the truth in God’s Word; so they try to distract the minds of the people by making accusations of subversion or attacking individuals with false charges, so simple, and all foretold.
