I don't. ''God'' is entirely mythological.

I don't by into a correct "religion". I do believe in God and the act of reading and applying His word into my life. I also believe that is the truth as evidenced by the personal enlightenment felt when in the presence of my Lord.
When I seek His counsel or when I worship and give praise to Him, I am filled with a undeniable and othewise unexplainable feeling of understanding that He does exist.
I don't just think but I know he exists. There are times when I have doubts. I take those to Him in prayer- which to me maybe a more formal prayer or just a conversation with Him. The Bible absolutely has helped me to know He exists. His word meets me where I am at and I can apply it to my life and it is relevant.
To me there is a certain power in the Universe that can not be denied a creator.

In order to create the base of human life, scientists agree that their must be left handed and right handed enzymes present. Ex: If there are 5 left handed enzymes present their must be 5 right handed enzymes present. The really interesting thing is that scientists have been able to produce the enzymes, but cannot make them both at the same time in the same place. It has been found you cannot make a left handed enzyme if you do not have a right handed enzyme alla the same scenario for right handed. You can't make right handed with out a left handed. Soooooo, who made the left and right at the same time if they didn't have one to make the other? Go figure

I personally believe that having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ gives you the answer in itself.
Why, first of all once you make Him Lord of your life, tangible things began to happen. You begin to walk in favor with others.
2nd. You have the ability to feel his presence. That is why it is easy to believe. It is really about a personal relationship that is why it is easy to say "either you believe or you don't".
Search for the path and He'll show up

Your question actually made me ponder. I know I believe and have great faith in God but I can't really give you a conclusive reason as to why. All I know is that when I open my eyes, I can see God's vast creation everywhere; from the sound of my snoring dog to the leaves blown away by the wind outside to the cars that constantly pass by our house. Everywhere and everyday is a passing miracle that continues to unfold. Science can explain almost every detail in life, but science in itself is already one great miracle and one great gift. I know religion is important but it's not as significant as the faith we have. Religion keeps one's faith alive and it maintains unity among people with similar beliefs. But what you believe in, what you have faith in, ultimately comes from within you. You are, in your own unique way, God's greatest miracle. =)

Because I believe in a greater design than just evolution.
I believe God created us all to evolve into spritiual beings
I believe that the bible lasted as long as it has for us to have a way to know him.
I have faith and have tested it with prayer.
I have had many answers to prayer.

I believe in God because of my direct personal experience...I follow no specific religion (they all seem error in one fashion or another).

i dont believe in a god, that is, i dont believe that a supernatural entity created this universe and is actively involved in its progression and the beings within it. something did happen, after all, we are here, but what that something was or is, im afraid we are very, very, far from understanding.

God loves us so much that he personally paid the ultimate price to redeems us- by sending his Son, Jesus, to die for our sins...And everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life....For God has said "I will never fail you. I will never forsake you"
