someone here said 'yeah, just like santa claus' and he is right. Santa does exist for a great many people, because they believe.
God exists for millions of people because they have faith. they believe with their heart and soul that there is a God. I have seen a great many people in catastrophic situations where they really should have no hope and yet after praying they are at peace and ready to accept whatever comes. that is what their faith in God does for them, and who are any of us to try and destroy something so personal and precious.
Do I believe? i never used to, but i find as i get older i am becoming more attuned to what the faithful feel. so my answer would have to be yes, i believe that God does exist for me.

If a thousand people were to answer yes, that wouldn't mean he/she/it does exist. If a thousand people were to answer no, that wouldn't mean he/she/it does not.

Unless God is somehow making his presence known to select people (myself excluded, so far), nobody knows the answer to your question... *nobody* ... despite what all kinds of believers, and many atheists claim.

All you can get here -- or from any human being anywhere, on this subject -- are opinions and beliefs, not facts and knowledge. *It is, as yet, unknowable.* Having said that, there is nothing wrong with asking, if others' *beliefs* are what you care about.

The careful, reasonable people here give answers which phrase it thus, such as "I believe he does...," or "there is no indication..." Though your phrasing doesn't appear to be asking for opinions, those and some others are well said.

But of course many people confuse knowledge and belief. And there are some who are just so arrogant or deluded as to think they *do* know... as if they *were* personally spoken to by God -- or as if they have equally-convincing proof that he doesn't exist. And there are those so insecure in their own beliefs that they need others to concur, one way or the other. Those people will give this and similar "non-committal" answers "thumbs down."

Because humans have invented a multitude of gods over the millennia, I personally doubt any of them exist, for what my belief is worth.

So what do you seek in asking... support for *your* beliefs, or some kind of knowledge that you think we're privy to?

Do you really want a yes or no? That's a bit boring so let me give you some evidence.

Here is a simple argument called the Aesthetical Argument (“Aesthetics” has to do with beauty). The argument is: The universe exhibits beauty, and man has the ability to appreciate beauty; where did this come from? You see, aesthetic values serve no purpose in a purely materialistic universe. Why do we have it and where did it come from?

Have you ever said to someone, “Look at the beautiful flower or sunset”? You expect the other person to naturally agree with you that it is beautiful: flowers, butterflies, tropical birds and fish, rainbows and sunsets, galaxies and nebula, etc. And we also appreciate beauty in the art of men; how is it that artists can make a living?

What is beauty for? What personal or evolutionary end is met by the appreciation of a rainbow, a flower, or a butterfly? As it has been said, “I would like to know how evolution would produce a species that likes to smell and look at flowers that we don’t eat.”

William C. Davis writes, “Humans have numerous features that are more easily explained by theism than by metaphysical naturalism, if only because metaphysical naturalism currently explains all human capacities in terms of their ability to enhance survival. Among these features are the possession of reliable faculties aimed at truth, the appreciation of beauty, and a sense of humor.”

And as Anthony O’Hear has said, “From a Darwinian perspective, truth, goodness, and beauty and our care for them are very hard to explain.”

Every effect must have an adequate cause to produce it. The Bible attributes beauty to God:
-Psalm 96:5-6, “For all the gods of the people are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before Him, strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.”
-Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful it its time.”
-Matthew 6:28-29, “Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these. But if God so arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith?”

I have to agree with W.S. Rhodes, “It is difficult to believe that so many beautiful things came into being without any kind of direction by a power sensitive to beauty.”

Now, many people try to dismiss this argument by saying, “What about ugliness?” Well, this is a fallen earth that has been cursed because of sin (Read Genesis 3), and so we should expect ugliness. But the question is: Where did the beauty and the appreciation for it come from?

Many who believe in God think of him as a force, not as a person. In certain cultures, for example, gods have been identified with the forces of nature. Some who have examined evidence gathered through scientific research into the structure of the universe and the nature of life on earth have concluded that there has to be a First Cause. Nevertheless, they hesitate to attach a personality to this Cause.

Yet, does not the complexity of creation indicate that the First Cause must have had great intelligence? Intelligence requires a mind. The great mind responsible for all creation belongs to the person of God. Yes, God has a body, not a physical one like ours, but a spiritual body. "If there is a physical body," says the Bible, "there is also a spiritual one." (1 Corinthians 15:44) Explaining the nature of God, the Bible clearly states: "God is a Spirit." (John 4:24) A spirit has a form of life that differs greatly from ours, and it is invisible to human eyes. (John 1:18) There are invisible spirit creatures as well. They are angels —"the sons of the true God." —Job 1:6; 2:1.

Since God is an uncreated person with a spiritual body, he logically has a place of residence. Referring to the spirit realm, the Bible tells us that the heavens are God's "established place of dwelling." (1 Kings 8:43) Also, the Bible writer Paul states: 'Christ entered into heaven itself to appear before the person of God for us.' —Hebrews 9:24.

The word "spirit" is also used in the Bible in another sense. Addressing God in prayer, the psalmist said: "If you send forth your spirit, they are created." (Psalm 104:30) This spirit is not God himself but a force that God sends forth, or uses, to accomplish whatever he wishes. By means of it, God created the physical heavens, the earth, and all living things. (Genesis 1:2; Psalm 33:6) His spirit is called holy spirit. God used his holy spirit to inspire the men who wrote the Bible. (2 Peter 1:20, 21) Hence, the holy spirit is the invisible active force that God uses to fulfill his purposes.

Yes God does exist and He loves you a lot.

Of course he does, the same way the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy exist. The only difference is that over the thousands of years, millions of people were never slaughtered in the name of either the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. This fantasy God that so many people think is so wonderful and loving is responsible for more murders than all the mass murderers in history x 1000.

No God does not exist. Atheists will say God don't exist. Religious people will say God does exist. Any religions that say God don't exist are insignificant and don't matter anyway.

You will never get an affirmative anwser on this one. No one knows for sure if he does exsist. who are we to say which religion is the "correct" one if there even is one.
I personally believe in an all loving God, that is just and kind, but also feared and "does" things for a reason. I believe God performs miracles everyday when a cancer patient told has mos to live, gets to spend 2 more years w/ her husband and children. I believe there's a God when a man that rapes and kills a teenage girl gets sentenced to the death penalty.
There are many, many religions, and which religion,belief system, non-religion, etc. we choose is not the indefinite religion/way to live.
It's up to each and every one of us to decide for ourselves if we in fact BELIEVE in a God. (For these are opinions/beliefs, not facts.)
We will never know 100% positively until our Judgement days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
