I'm not directing this only to the "Christian" God, but about Gods from other religion as well.

No one knows the answer to this question. We can believe, but there is no proof one way or the other.

I know God exists because I look around and see a world that I can't except just began. I believe that it had to be created. It's to intricate to just evolved.
I really cant' think of a way to prove something doesn't exist.
All I know is that its been my experience that God does exist and I know that most people believe in some form of God.

I believe the real question is whether there is a god who is somehow relevant to my life and conduct, don't you? If a god is simply a great clockwinder who created man for his amusement and is simply watching what happens without intervening in human affairs, then the god's existence is irrelevant to life.
So the issue is not proving there is no god at all. There is no need to do so. The issue is whether there is proof of a god that intervenes in human affairs in a predictable way and whose behavior is contingent on human behavior.
Even the Bible would lead us to conclude that the god of the Bible does not behave in predictable ways that are contingent on human behavior. He makes the sun and rain for the good and evil. Evil prospers and good suffers. Righteous men have their entire families and fortunes wiped out on a bet with other divine beings. The god answers one prayer, but in identical circumstances ignores another. The god intevenes miraculously in one crisis, but not in another. In other words whether the god exists or doesn't exist is indistinguishable from random chance and thus irrelevant.
There is no direct, verifiable and reproducible evidence of a god who is predictable and whose behavior is contingent on our own, so whether any other sort of god exists or doesn't is irrelevant to life. Whether the god is a myth or simply capricious as in the Bible, either way, we cannot affect what the god does or does not do, nor does our behavior in response to supposed revelation affect the outcome in this reality, nor can we confirm it affects any other reality past, present or future despite claims that it might. So whether a god exists or not, we already know that no meaningful and relevant god exists, we therefor need do nothing in response and can go about our lives on that basis.

usually one will relates to the existence of the sky,moon,sun,sea which is the closest man can proves his existence
but the fact is, these are his great creations and not the creator so religious preachers find it close enough to begin with as mostly try to seek god including scientifically
and many turn waywards/got so accustommed due to overwhelming respect,wealth they achieved while some found friendly helpful spirit beings as god so new faith/religion born or maybe as their so acclaimed jesus/allah strengthening old faiths
in reality,
if one needs to know if an apple tastes sweet,one just have to taste it himself. following what the majority does is highly dangerous
seeing,hearing and thinking with clear,sincere conscience seeking divine response for answers is tenacious but worthwhile and enlighten
have faith and strong patience
there's no straight answer to this
one just has to pick and taste the apple

To me, God is the Universe all around us. It's always been here and goes through many phases of Evolution. We (and all other beings) are a by-product of the Universe. We are made up of the same elements as the Universe. The intelligence in all living beings comes from the Universe.
With that said, I don't believe in an afterlife, but I do believe there may be other dimensions existing along side our own dimension that we are not aware of. Perhaps someday we will evolve to interact with these dimensions. But beings will definitely evolve to change the Universe.

I think it will be forever before this one is proven or disproven. Personally, I am confident that gods are mere myths created by men. My favorite thing though, is all the religious people who say things like god talks to them, etc. etc. Or, they stand back and say that because something happened in their life, it is because of god. Whereas normal people can stand bakc and see that the event was purely coincidental, or becuase of a different force altogether. for example, the religious man who is sure that god cured his disease, when in reality a skilled doctor took care of it, but the man still insists it was god. It's funny that religious people are so in love with their worship of a myth that they are so closed off to any other possibilities.
But, then again they would say the same thing about me.

I think most people who believe in God have an instinct that tells them that God is real and if you have prayed to God in times of worry or trouble and felt His blessings then you just know that He exists. Belief in God is called "faith" because you have faith in your beliefs - you can feel God's answers to your prayers! I'm sorry I can't put into words exactly what I mean or feel but just have "faith"!

Idiots like the Don(key) believes there is - it is a belief - beliefs are a bit hard to prove or disprove - you always get people arguing for and against it...,
As far as I am concerned, the concept of God was created by man and is a myth

Look at the order of the universe . Look at how our bodies function down to the molecular level . I believe that we were created in His image just as He said in Genesis 1:26 . There is no way that we just popped into existence

I'm agnostic: I neither know he does nor can prove he doesn't. Personally I suspect there is a god of some sort, but that's just me. I actually find it odd when people who firmly believe try to PROVE that god exists. It's called "faith", yes? If you need proof to believe, it isn't really faith...
