When its' so crystal clear, that we are nothing but carbon compounds albeit very complex ones, why talk about divinity and all that. I do accept the economics of "creating" god, but really is there anything more than economics to the meaning of god?

Because its not true. There is a God.
Look at it this way. If you have an atheist and believer, look at possible outcomes. An atheist dies and finds out he is right, there is no God. Actually, he can't find out. He's dead. He can't think nor do nothing. Nobody will ever know he was right. He will never know he was right. Now if the atheist dies and finds out he was wrong, then he's probably gonna be in trouble with God. Plus, he'll know he was wrong. Everyone in heaven will know he was wrong.
Now if a believer dies and finds out he was wrong... well, wait, he'll never find out he was wrong if he's dead and can't think. Nobody will ever know he was wrong, cause when they die, they won't be able to think either. Now if the believer dies and finds out he was right, he will be rewarded by God, and plus everyone will know that the believer was right.
So... would you rather be an atheist or a believer?

Then you must be very comfortable with the thought that when you die you become non-existent forever. This is all you have now. Afterwards you cease to exist. No memories, no feelings, no concept of time....nothing! So what's the point of living or maintaining life if the end is nothingness?
You also are so "clearly convinced" that simple molecules became complex molecules, which became living things, etc. all by accident. Let's do a hypothetical experiment....
Suppose you have a giant bowl. You throw in lumber, concrete, wiring, glass, etc. In other words, everything you would need to build a nice house. You then spin and shake this bowl....you hit it with lightning, heat, cold, radiation, etc. You do this for millions of years. Do you ever think you'll have a nicely built home from this? Never! Now this is just a simple house. Imagine the complexities of life. In the end you would need "intelligent design" in order to accomplish these tasks. No God you say? Please!!!

When you can accept that the concept of God is a personal matter.
That is there is a difference between God and religion, and each individual chooses how much, if at all, they want one concept to mess with the other.
Consider this, how is that you and I can talk about God as a concept without any knowledge of our individual understanding, if in fact there was no God? Keep in mind we probably do not share a similar background, but it seems we both have an idea of what God is to the point that we can debate it's existence. How is that?

The reason everyone cannot accept that there is no god is the exact same reason that everyone cannot accept that that there is a god. Both sides use the same arguments to prove and disprove the existence of god, and neither side can do it conclusively. It is purely a matter of faith. Also, ultimately, everyone has a god whether they wish to acknowledge it or not. If you do not choose to worship a supernatural deity, you will make a deity out of someone or something, such as yourself, money, knowledge, science, someone else, or who knows what else.

All i have to say is if you're living like God doesn't exists you'd better be right. The God who created the heavens and the earth. Every living creature, from the ant to the elephant.
How do you explain that. Get a Bible and start reading about the people in who didn't believe.. Pharaoh the king didn't believe either that's why his entire army was drowned in the Red Sea. But don't take my word for it. Read the Book.

You breath in oxygen and other gases, yes?

You don't see them, but you know it is there because you can breath it in. That is exactly what faith in God is like. You can't see Him physically or through the result of a math problem. But He is there.

Putting it another way, you can't see the wind, right?

You see the effects of it - but you cannot see the wind itself. That is how God is too. He moves (because He exists) and you don't see Him specifically. However, you CAN see the effects of His movements. People are turning their lives and hearts over to Him daily.

In many ways, it is more obvious than that! When you look outside, and you see the grass or the blue sky above... All of this is evidence of God's presence. If He wasn't, none of it would exist - not even you.

We don't all accept your belief that there is no god because those of us who know God personally see something that you have missed. I have evidence of God in my life that you will not be able to refute and probably can't really understand.

Of course those who don't believe look at that "insider information" as some sort of put down, but it's not. The invitation God gives to draw near to Him, He gives to everyone, including you. If you want to know if God is real, all you have to do is draw near to Him. Ask Him in all sincerity to reveal Himself to you. He promises that if you truly seek Him, you will find Him.

He's made the invitation. Now it's your move.

It is impossible for the infinite planetary systems to exist and work with absolute mechanisms and precisions of Science, without the efforts of the Supreme Scientist, which is God. And all the human scientists who claim to be knowing whatever little they do, are only discovering the already existing, laws of the nature( God ). They have not brought any thing in this world by their pockets! I am even agreeing that even God has not brought any matter or any soul in this world by his pocket, but He has given it a scientific shape and incarnated the souls in different forms of bodies.

Your non acceptance to this basic truth is because, you are fed up of researching more on this subject, since you know, as also I, that this subject is beyond the comprehension of all the best brains of this universe, put together!

The difference between you and me is that, where as you still feel your intellect to be superb and having all the capabilities, in my case I know my limitations of intellect in this field. And I also know your utter backwardness of intellect, that such a simple logic, is beyond your comprehension though you claim that you are intelligent .

Please don't mind my answer. In this field I am as much ignorant as you are, but I accept my ignorance, and you don't.

There is 'somebody' who knows it all, and I and you, instead of discussing this serious subject amongst us, will be well advised that we find that 'somebody'and know the answer.

Let me tell you one more thing, that my supporting the logic of existence of God, does in no way make me superior in intellect to your intellect. Nor does God become happy to gain my support, as Bush will be with his voters.

What God wants us to do is to understand the spiritual science and know Him, us and the matter which we call Maya.

You have not been touched by God, otherwise you would not feel as you do. I used to be like you. I found myself in an extremely difficult position and turned to God. At first it was foxhole prayers. Once the prayers got sincere they were answered. I know God is still in my life because the same prayers are still being answered. I am a happy reformed skeptic.

Because there is one.
There's no way that life could have just come together randomly from floating particles.
There's no way that such a highly organized and structured universe could have begun without some type of intelligence guiding it.
There are just way too many lucky coincidences about the structure and function of the universe to believe that it all just happened that way on its own.
