Troubles sure wouldn't disprove the existence of the God of the Bible... This world is *in* trouble, according to it. One might be able to disprove the existence of God personally, by turning to God and receiving nothing in response. Of course, one might just be blind to response. Or one might be imagining it, if it is perceived. And along these lines... one of the wiser things I've read recently was the idea that the opposite of faith is not doubt, it is fear. We all have doubts (the religious folks who claim not to are a bit scary); acting on our beliefs despite doubts takes faith to overcome the fear that there's no God.
