Its different for every person. I believe in a higher power, but i dont believe in "god". To me the higher power is Mother Nature. Nature controls all of us and everything around us.

I believe there is. If you think about it, there are too many perfect things in the world for there not to be one. When you look up at the sky, do you really truly believe that it is there because of the Big Bang? When you look at nature, or at least when I do, I see a God. When I look at the perfections of the human body, the way it works, I see God. When I think about the planets and the stars, and the air that we breathe, I see God. In everything I see God. Anyone who wonders if there is a God just needs to look around and see the beauty and the perfection in the little things to understand that some higher being/power is at work.

Psalms 14: 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalms 19: 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Look up the heavens declare that there is a God. He also became a man and died for our sins on the cross so all that would believe would spend eternity in heaven with Him. John 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1: 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

If there is a God, then it doesn't matter if someone believes in it or not and if there is not then it will not help believing. God is a matter of knowledge, not belief because there can be blind beliefs but knowledge is for real. Moreover, the question of God as treated in different religions or different philosophies is not as simple as is made to understand in popular perception. Some religions like Buddhism and Jainism do not believe in a God but only the existence of spirits which can achieve salvation on their individual planes. You have to search for God to 'know' if there is one or not.

I say yes. Every time I see a tree growing from a dead stump or see the breeze play with the leaves on trees I think, "There is a God." Every time I hear about how an atom works or just how many circumstances there are to make earth habitable I think, "There is a God."

Yes, there is a God. There is only one God, the Creator of the universe.

Only you can come up with the answer to that question... in your heart.
Sometimes it seems like there is a God, and sometimes it seems like there isn't. Personally, this is something I'll have to find out one way or another, once this life is over.
Meanwhile, I will do my best to follow the Golden Rule, and treat others the way I want to be treated. I can never go wrong that way.

Yes tjere is a God.
The Hindu scriptures explain how you are an eternal spiritual soul who has acquired a material body and been given a material universe to try and satisfy your desire to enjoy life separately from God.
God has made this material universe in such a way that you can forget him but at the same time remember him when you finally realise that it is impossible to happy without him.

Makes sense to me that God exists, but is much misunderstood.
Original sin was not about sex, it was about knowledge - a kind of friendly warning not to worry too much about the whys and wherefores, because that stuff is simply beyond our ken.
Consider the hymn :
Immortal, invisible, God only wise
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes...
And still we persist in trying to understand what cannot be understood by us. Me for simple faith.

According to Saint Anselm's ontological proof, there are observable degrees of quality, for example, there are various breeds of dogs, and each have various levels of barking volumes. Logic suggests that there has to be "loudest barking dog" as there is a "quietest barking dog"-- there is a gradation of capacity and potential in everything.
Thus, there must be a most powerful, most wise, most all-seeing being somewhere in existence, there has to be a best, worst, and every gray area in between.
This omni-powerful, omnipotent being is most likely God, so logically, God exists.
