I am going to include a link that asks Who is God. I feel it gives a very satisfying answer to that question. I hope you will take the time to read it for yourself.

I am also going to include a link that discusses what some scientists believe regarding the existance of God.

To me personally the best argument for God is the cosmological argument. It alone doesn't state who God is it but I love it.
1. Everything that has a beginning has a cause
2. The Universe had a beginning (Big Bang)
3. Therefore the universe must have a cause
Something cannot cause itself to come into existence, because it would have to exist to bring itself about, and that is completely contradictory. Therefore the natural world had to have had a cause outside of itself.
Most attempts to refute this rely heavily upon a gross misunderstanding of what nothing means. No thing you can't posit that there is a small atom that clashed with this or whatever nothingness makes that impossible.
The tired who created god argument shows that they haven't read part 1, everything with a beginning... Time is related to the natural world, it is a dimension, of this world since God exists outside of time he is not bound by it. There is no before God because there is no before.. you need linear time for that.
The alternate universe theory is no less a leap of any faith than any theist.
There are several other arguments for the validity of God.
I highly recommend J.P. Moreland's Scaling the Secular City for more.

Why don't you try talking to Him and find out? He's knocking on the door, all you have to do is let Him in. I see you've got a couple of good links to check out from these other folks. Look into them. The evidence that God exists is written throughout the Bible. When you accept Jesus into your heart amazing things will happen to you. I speak from experience. I don't mean winning the lottery or anything like that, but you can feel God listening to you. You no longer feel alone. You feel comfort and peace. His gifts are many. He is real.

Faith has nothing to do with Evidences, though, I believe in God because i know for sure that there's no way this whole world was created by coincidence like Athiests say, and that there must be a huge powers, bigger than anything else controls the whole world which is God

You asked a great question! Here's my answer. The car that you ride in, somebody had to design and make it, correct? Or did the car just explode and there it was in your driveway? Or how about the jets that fly people from place to place around the world? Someone had to design and make the jets. Am I right so far? Ok, now let's look outside our window. What do we see? Well, I see trees, and flowers, and birds, and my dog and cats, and I see people walking down the street. It seems to me that someone had to design and make the trees, flowers, birds, dogs, cats, and human life too. I know I didn't make them. So if we follow this logic to it's obvious conclusion, then it's clear that God designed and created the universe and everything in it.

The presence of God does not require evidence.

There is no evidence for the existence of god, "faith" is not evidence, neither is the bible.

quotes scripture despite the chance of pissing everyone off:
"blessed is he who believes but does not see"
i've heard something that scientists have calculated all matter from the big bang but there was something they couldn't and can't account for...
