there is only one god
the bible was written by various christian men in a very large span of time before and after the death of jesus christ
god was not created, he was there and will always be there it is hard for humans to understand that because we were born and will die, god created time and is not bound by it
churches and other places of worship were all built by the hands of human belivers
no one has seen god because in a human's earthly life his perfect image is too much too bear. it written that he once showed a fraction of hiself to a mountain and it crumbled to dust, then he showed that same fraction to moses and he fainted
god is in the seventh layer of heaven. heaven cannot be reached because the universe we live in is under the first layer of heaven
we have not changed since the bible was written and problably not change until the armageddon
all the proof you need of god is in our world, one sign is that there are so many things that could only happen not by chance, but by divine intervention
the ignorant ones choose to close their eyes to god even though all the proof is there or written in a holy book

God is : A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions. A being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality.
Is there more than one? Yes. Money, power, beauty.... more people owrship these than any god.
The bible was written by many men (no women) over a long period of time, before and after Christ.
Who created god? no one... that would mean someone is more powerful than him and that just doesn't work well for the religion
Contracters built Churches with Christians money...
No one has ever seen the Christian god according to the bible but the man who "founded" mormonism claims he did.
Don't know what he would look like
God is in heaven.. a plane outside of reality
I don't really know what you are refering to when it comes to the bibles comments on humanity but since it was written society has changed significantly so it woul be hard to compare.
According to the bible a Man asked for God to show himself in the simplest of ways... he asked that when he layed out a peice of animal skin that it wouldn't be wet will dew in the morning but the area around it would... then the next moring just the opposite. I guess by doing the same with your own method would be the only way to know for sure!
not everyone believes in god because we don't see his work and he doesn't show himself like we need for him to. Plus there there are many many scientits proving things everyday but the only thing to prove a God's existance is the religious book they live in.

First of all. Give Him honor. It is God, not god. God is the One who created you and everything that exist.
God is God - there is no other.
God used man to write the Bible. The apostles did not write from there own thinking, but ever word was inspired by the Holy Spirit. 2 Timothy 3:16
God is the first, last and everlasting Father who sent His son Jesus Christ to earth. Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross of Calvary and God raised Him from the dead on the third day.
Proof - look around you. You are breathing - look at the trees, grass, animals. Read Genesis. Seek God, if you don't understand the bible ask Him for understanding. Ask and believe. The way to the Father is through Jesus Christ.

1.God is an immortal, genderless essence that created and rules over the earth.
2. There's only one God, but each culture sees him in a different light.
3. The bible is a collection of ancient text written by men and their thoughts of God and his meaning. Also, it's stories of various battles. There's a lot to it.
4. God created himself for God is the creator.
5. Well, it depends. Denominations of Christianity were created over time by Christians. Christianity was created when Christ walked the earth.
6. No, I haven't, but I know he is real.
7. God is in Heaven.
8. The bible isn't exactly correct or incorrect because it wasn't written by God or Jesus. It's various stories written by men and what they think God wanted us to behave and go about our lives.
9. God exists because the Earth and we exist.
10. All humans don't believe in God because humans have tried to make themselves God. Proof is Frakenstein and Invitro and test tube babies.

God is the ultimate being in the universe who created everything.
There are many different religions, because there are many different ways of interpeting God and the unknown. Since I am answering this from a Christian standpoint I will have to say no; there is only one God.
But the one God has three forms (refered to as the trinity) which are the Father (God), the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Even though they are all three, they are still one. Kind of like an egg... there is the egg shell, the yolk, and the white surrounding of the egg. Even though the egg shell is one part it is still the egg.
The Bible (the Chistian Bible) is written by several different apostles and holy men. The majority of the Bible is comprised of letters written to various churches and songs of worship.
God has always been and will always be. Noone created him.
There have been churches since the begining of time. But common day Christian churches were started after the death of Christ by the apostles who organized churches where people could come and learn about Jesus and his message.
God is in all things (in the form of the Holy Spirit). Here on Earth you cannot see him, it is like air, you cannot see it but you know it is there.
Although many of the things in the Bible are based on things from the past, everything also has universal themes and ideas. Humans, although continually devloping, have generally stayed the same.
God does exist, and while there is a lot of proof, Christians have to base their beliefs on faith.
All humans don't believe in God for the same reason that all humans don't have the same political belief. Everyone has to have their own reasoning, their own set of values, and their own beliefs.
A very basic quick look at Christianity is:
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"
-Genisis 1:1
God created everything in seven days. He created all animals, all galaxies, all humans... everything.
"Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus because he will save his people from their sins"
-Matthew 1:20-21
Jesus Christ, the son of God, lowered himself and was born as a human being through a virgin named Mary.
"But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified"
-Luke 23:23
Jesus died a brutal death, nailed to a cross to account for our sins.
"This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations"
-Luke 24:46
The most important thing to remember is that Jesus fulfilled prophesy by not only dying, but rising again three days later.
Jesus died for you and me. Jesus loves everyone. All you have to do to have an eternal life is accept him as your saviour. If you believe in him and have faith in him... that is it. You get the gift of eternal life and you get a friend for life. Someone who will never abandon you, and love you despite all your flaws. Someone who died for you.
God Bless

God Is Love - True Unconditional Love.
Not all people believe because man has distorted the truth God wants to lay down to all of us. The truth is this, God Loves You because He made You perfect in His Eyes. That is the Truth.
We are all faulty by design, but it depends upon what we do with those faults. Do we head to God and ask for everything good or do we fall to the earth and follow those men who are faulty just like us? Remember God is Good and there is nobody else like Him.
As you go through life continue to remind yourself, is this or that of God or of man. If it glorifies man then it is not of God. If it Glorifies God then you will know.

Consider...there is one God. He has been defined by many religions and all try to limit the illimitable. God cannot be defined and placed in a box. All religions have a piece of the truth.
From the Kasidah, Part IV:
All faith is true; all faith is false: Truth is the shattered mirror strewn in myriad bits, while each believes his piece the truth to own.

You put 10 questions into one. You might want to ask each one individually, or pick out the most important ones to ask if you want a response.
God is a human-created concept, invented to help the average person come to grips with the unknown, with death and with deciding how to conduct their lives. It's the same intent in every religion and in every society.
