um.... yes, I believe so. Not just belief in his existence, though, but belief that he also left an instruction manual meant to dictate proper and required behavior.

I'll try to tackle this question! Let me ramble for a while and let's see if you are entertained.....
I can't see gravity. It's like a force. But I can see the evidence of gravity (let's stick with gravity and not go into Relativity and Quantum stuff) by dropping an apple.
Knowing that apple will ...fall to the ground.... is belief.
You can't "see" the force of gravity but you can see the evidence.
Let's take another step -- the story of Jesus walking on the water. That is an example of believing that overrode the natural or physical laws.
There is a school of thought that if YOU believe you could walk on water too. Whoa. This school says it's the "temperature of believing" is so low that others sort of counter it.
This school also expects an "evolutionary" break through (scary use of the word, sorry) for human kind in which we may manifest higher powers ... like telepathy or floating, stuff like that.
This school of thought can counter or support the belief that God is real. In either case, in implies a mapped out plan for humans, a logical progression -- which suggests a God.
The bible suggested that gifts would be given christians (tongues, word of knowledge, miracles -- nine of them, for you bible readers -- corinthians) that imply 'the next step up' for human kind. The book of Acts is full of accounts of christians doing all kinds of things like healing and teleporting.
Certainly if we christians were using those gifts or tools it would be like using "the force" (forgive me, Lord) like gravity the "how" would be unseen but you'd see the evidence of it.
Most christians have been told that the reason we today cannot do what the christians of the first century church were doing is that God was just letting them do that until the Bible could be published.
How that makes sense to anyone is beyond me.

You do not need Physical God to know there is one that's what the pagans make them for cuz they have no faith. To believe is all you ever need. plus there is proof with in the Earth God Exist. You have to open you mind and ponder on what Allah has Created.

I see physical facts of God's existance all around. OPEN YOUR EYES!
When you open your heart to Him, then you will see the difference in behavior.

There's no PHYSICAL FACT that God does not exist. This topic is so unprovable by both sides, why don't we just drop it? It's not going to go anywhere any time soon.

well, considering there IS NO physical evidence of god, and there never has been, your question seems invalid.
