Scientists cannot prove anything. All they can do is give you their opinion based on the facts that they create.

I've tried all my life to believe, to no avail. It's just too much work, and it's too much to ask a fallible and imperfect human being to throw all of his or her eggs in a completely faith-based basket, which is more than likely a farce. Every "god" that has ever been, has come from the mind of man! I WON'T be so presumptuous as to even say that I believe, because I just don't FEEL it, and no one alive has yet to prove it; and I am not about to be a hypocrite! I spent far too much time jumping through Catholic and Christian hoops...for WHAT?! I decided long ago to rid myself of the guilt and fear that comes along with being a certain faith--this life is far too short, and I just can't spend it worrying about what will happen after I'm fish bait!! I have had the time of my life since I stopped fretting about the negative emotions and consequences that organized religion has shoved down my throat! I am a good and decent person who knows the difference between right and wrong--if I do the wrong thing, I make sure that I am the only one being hurt by my actions, and no one else! I love people, even though I LOVE to be sarcastic and difficult with them sometimes! If that's not good enough for a God when my time runs out, it's His loss!

The answer is yes, and I am probably the only one with a scientific proof. But, you must understand the way I see God.
First of all, group work theory tells us that in any group of a given size 'n' there are n + 1 personalities. One for each person in the group (n) and one generated by the group as a whole (+ 1). Therefore, given the population of the world as a whole (n), God is the + 1. The evidence of this manifestation can be seen in the common ideals among the worlds religions. The "golden rule" (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.) for example appears in almost all of the world's religions in one form or another. Other values like not killing, not stealing, valuing truth, etcetera are echoed over and over again.
The God I envision isn't the create the world in seven days, vengeful, interceding God so many worship. The God I envision is the unifying force that brings humanity together and provides the divine spark in us all.

I believe God is the representation of Creation. We are supposed to think of ourselves in His image. There is a lot of history that came before the bible which we can't know about, and which ancient peoples tried to collect into a written knowledge base. Most of the stories were metaphorical in nature, but didn't translate well into Greek (and then other languages), so we get the 'dumbed down' versions.
I suspect there is more to the Creator story: perhaps that we should be Net Creators, developing more usefulness for the future than we consume in resources.
Belief has nothing really to do with science, it is an emotion which comes in handy when you need to go beyond what science tells you is the limit to what you can do. Science has taken 20 years to figure out how bumblebees manage to fly, when we can see them do it every day. Just remember that science only proves the things they understand, anyway. There are a lot of things that science doesn't understand, and there are plenty of possibilities for extraordinary encounters in those unknowns. Believing scientists takes faith, too. Until you prove many of their ideas to yourself, don't take what you read for granted.
How's that for an atheist?

Yes I believe in GOD
I was blessed to see in to the supernatural so I know it exists
Scientists only know what mans perceptions has proven as fact, they can t dispute the Divine, but they discount it because they cant see it happening. It is happening all around us, in the invisible supernatural all the time, influencing mans actions. Just imagine all the supernatural creations being able to be seen by everyone in the natural first life, we would have such chaos on earth, as people who are terrified of the light revealing their transgressions against man and God be made known
The Jews created a religion with all kinds of man made perceptions not only Divine inspiration. Just as other religions have have the need to push there views on to others as fact, if it is written in the bible you can be sure its truth, as you understand it , scienctists sometimes dont take into account there only men, they can rewrite the genome as GOD can

Scientists can't prove everything. That's why most of what scientists discover are called "theories." Most scientists believe in God. They know that if God didn't exist, the world wouldn't be ordered & organized the way it is. It would be a disorganized, chaotic mess. The more scientists study & research, the more they find God. just read some of Albert Einstein's writings.

Yes, I do believe in God. No scientist can prove the truthfulness of God because they are just like us no matter how smart they are.You have to believe within your heart that He exist.You have to have faith and that is something no one can take away from you,you know.

Yes I do. Proving the existence of God is up to you, not scientists. All creation testifies to God just as a painting testifies to the artist.

Scientists can prove many things including the mysteries stored up in God's Word. What we do is to take God's Word at face value through faith in Him, which is what I've done since I feel Him working through me and He lives within me through His Spirit guiding and directing me.

Science does more to prove the existence of a supreme creator
than disprove.
Einstein himself stated that since his equation E=MC2 is true,
then some force created energy that created all matter.
(so called big bang)
Yes I believe in God (our creator) and this is the Holy God of Man
who created all that exist by whatever manner he elected.
If we exist then we have to have a creator-
The World is perfect (considering what limited ability man has)and still expanding at the speed of light. No accident can create matter and then when matter is created as energy-align all to create perfection. A supreme Being (GOD)
must by theory (Einstein) exist.
