Why do so many people believe in God....
Good question, You should try to find out why.
Obviously something is happening to people to cause them to believe in such things, Granted that some are indoctrinated from birth, BUT Others have "spiritual experiences", Now WHAT are those experiences exactly?!?! Thats the question, obviously SOMETHING is happening to them, or else they are all delusional and only you or a select few have a special ability to remain undecieved. The latter is almost completly ridiculous to assume unless you are very near sighted. Again, It is a good question. Though, I doubt you will find an answer , and especially not on a message board.
Oh, And about the "evolution seems more real" Do you say that becuz you have a immense grasp on the details of evolution? Or becuz you have been told to believe it is "more reasonable"?
Question everything, believe nothing to the point of excluding possibility.
Have a nice day, And again, Good question..... Dont see many of them on this board. :-)

I believe that the answer to your question how did we get here could and will be found in the Sumerian Tablets as they account the Anunnaki - which is modern day Iraq. The sites of these first Anunnaki settlements in the southern part of present day Iraq remain one of the few locations in the world where First World visitors cannot easily visit because confrontation with Saddam Hussein. I believe this is the missing link and I do not think we evolved from primates. Several connections between the Sumerian version of man's creation and the Bible are apparent. The book is very detailed, but it does make sense if you have an open mind.

We are weak creatures yet the most intelligent that has ever walked this earth. Sometimes we look into other ideas that try to explain why and how we are here. Magicians are ever trying and failing to show us thier tricks and the best of miracles is you and me. Even the theory of Evolution is being disproven as a weak idea created by an amature scientist 200 odd years ago. Could Darwin really understand DNA like we are trying to do today?
The belief in God is in the hearts of millions and the proof is in the air that you breathe, the food that you eat and the day that turns into night!

Because people don't want to die, that's why. Remember that when a person believe in a god, he's not really interested about god, he's interested in salvatiuon that god offer. That's why he keeps praising a so-called perfect being (which really doesn't make any sense.) for the purpose that god will remember him when he dies and will be sent to heaven to recieve an ever-lasting life.
The human brain's another purpose is to save the body from physical and psychological harm. So when we talk about dying, it's the ultimate harm that we can think of.
The brain clings to a certain belief that prevents ther body from thinking about physical death. Thus a belief in a god guarantees the believer of an after-life, a continuation of the life process. So god is mearly one of the defense mechanism our brain have to offer to protect us from thinking the most ultimate harm...death.
Another reason why a lot of peoplke believes in a god is because humans tend to search for the ultimate parent figure. When you were young, you thought your parents is the last wall of defense, yet as you grow up, you find that your parents still lacks some things you would like them to have, until ofcourse you find god as the ultimate parent that will help you to all your problems.

Evolution is not real.
The “scientific method” is as follows: Observe what happens; based on those observations, form a theory as to what may be true; test the theory by further observations and by experiments; and watch to see if the predictions based on the theory are fulfilled. Is this the method followed by those who believe in and teach evolution?
Astronomer Robert Jastrow says: “To their chagrin [scientists] have no clear-cut answer, because chemists have never succeeded in reproducing nature’s experiments on the creation of life out of nonliving matter. Scientists do not know how that happened.”—The Enchanted Loom: Mind in the Universe (New York, 1981), p. 19.
Evolutionist Loren Eiseley acknowledged: “After having chided the theologian for his reliance on myth and miracle, science found itself in the unenviable position of having to create a mythology of its own: namely, the assumption that what, after long effort, could not be proved to take place today had, in truth, taken place in the primeval past.”—The Immense Journey (New York, 1957), p. 199.
According to New Scientist: “An increasing number of scientists, most particularly a growing number of evolutionists . . . argue that Darwinian evolutionary theory is no genuine scientific theory at all. . . . Many of the critics have the highest intellectual credentials.”—June 25, 1981, p. 828.
Physicist H. S. Lipson said: “The only acceptable explanation is creation. I know that this is anathema to physicists, as indeed it is to me, but we must not reject a theory that we do not like if the experimental evidence supports it.” (Italics added.)—Physics Bulletin, 1980, Vol. 31, p. 138.

Why do so many people not believe in God? Why are there so many questions about God if they are so sure ther is no God?
God is beyond anything of this earth that we could know and the Bible tells us so as well.
Magic? no, evolution? no creationalism? no
all can believe what they choose, and as a christian I respect that. It is your choice not to believe in God. I rpay you dont pay the price for that choice in the end.
God Bless you--
please respect christians and all people as well.

Wow. That's the question at the end of the universe.
Hmmm. Perhaps the simple answer is that people believe what they want to believe. And they want to believe that someone is watching over them; that they can affect their own future in a positive way by simply 'believing', that they don't ever need to die (they just go to heaven), etc.
It's not rational- but there is something deep in the human psyche that seems to drive this irrationality.
you might enjoy a book by Sam Harris called "The end of Faith".

Do a web search on Bible Prophecy, make sure you pay attention to the dates that it was prophesied and the date it was fulfilled with 100% accuracy. Prophecy alone proves the Bible as the odds of these things happening like written in the Scripture are way out there.

Believing in god (oops, i meant to capitalize the 'g' too) is probably so popular because it helps people deal with their mortality and it's also a nice way to set rules of behavior.
