Yes I believe in God, or a supreme being. Not the old white man in a beard kind of God. God is beyond that.
I also believe in science, technology and I can believe in evolution as well.
Our world is too immense and perfect to not have been created by a higher power. By perfect I don't mean our lives our perfect and that there may be wars, hunger, etc. Thats not what I mean. Perfectly created. The Eearth spinning, The Sun providing us heat and light. I don't believe a big bang crated the world. Who created the big bang???

I do not believe in God.
There are many logic type arguments for not believing in God, and there are many emotional reasons. These are all good for a deep intellectual argument.
I have come to the conclusion that I do not believe in God because that belief does not fulfill any need I have (via Maslow's hierarchy of needs).
I think for most people, God fills a level 2 need of safety. That is why it is so entrenched in human thought systems. It meets the need of a personal protector, which probably has benefits to our survival, by allowing humans to engage in risky behavior (flying to the moon, sailing over oceans on rickety wooden ships, invading other countries etc) to achieve a goal.
The risk/reward ratio is not as big, if you have a supernatural bodyguard, and you are more likely to reap the benefits of success if you are a risk taker. This is why there may be a "God gene", or a hard wiring of supernatural belief, that has been passed on to us.

Yes I do. God is a, if not THE, largest part of my life. He may not be here in a physical human form, but He is here nevertheless. I put my trust and faith in Him. When I want to bless my family and friends, when I may need something personally, or when I just want to say Thank you and I love you, He is right here listening. He answers my prayers with blessings. Sometimes more than I ever prayed for in the first place. I have His love surrounding me and protecting me from harm 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No matter where I go, or what I do, God is right here with me, holding my hand. Thank you for giving some of us the chance to share our thoughts and feelings about our Lord. I know there are folks out there who aren't sure about God, or anything thing about Him. Some may think it's easier not to believe, than to believe and therefore choose a different path. It's Ok, because God loves them just as much as He loves believers, and someday He will come to them and prove His love.

Hell no. I'm open to it if someone finds scientific evidence supporting the existence of a higher power though. However, for the present and probably forever: evolution, big bang all the way.

I am Agnostic. I am not sure if there is a God or a devil. Even if I did believe he existed, I am not sure if I would believe in his doctrines.

a famous philosopher once told me: it is better to believe in god then to not because if you believe and you are wrong, that's all there is to it. however, if you don't believe and you are wrong, you're also screwed...
me: i believe there is a higher being...not necessarily a "god"
