interesting that those who said "yes" get thumbs down and those who say "no" get thumbs up. I especially like the answer that states "only those who are simple minded"
This is an opinion question - EVERYONE should be getting a thumbs up! :)
In MY opinion (and I always have one). I don't need God - I HAVE GOD. The sin in me says I don't need God, but the faith in me says God is there. He made it - He can explain it better than people.
blessings ((sail)) - I hope that menher isn't giving you a backache... :)

Only if you want a quick trite answer.
Will science ever come up with a perfect theory of how the universe got here? Maybe. Maybe not. But it sure is interesting trying.
Sitting back and saying 'God Did It' to every unexplained phenomenon is the most brain dead thing I can think of.

God is not an explanation of the universe, just a verbal shifting of the question. This God is merely a name for the part of the universe you do not understand. And is God a part of the universe or outside it? :-)

No I don't. I don't need to explain the universe.
Do you need a guess to explain the universe.
Given the option of God and a wild guess. I'm going with God every time

Had they pondered over the greatness of His power and the vastness of His bounty they would have returned to the right path and feared the punishment of the Fire; but hearts are sick and eyes are impure. Do they not see the small things He has created, how He strengthened their system and opened for them hearing and sight and made for them bones and skins? Look at the ant with its small body and delicate form. It can hardly be seen in the corner of the eye, nor by the perception of the imagination - how it moves on the earth and leaps at its livelihood. It carries the grain to its hole and deposits it in its place of stay. It collects during the summer for its winter, and during strength for the period of its weakness. Its livelihood is guaranteed, and it is fed according to fitness. Allah, the Kind, does not forget it and (Allah the Giver) does not deprive it, even though it may be in dry stone or fixed rocks.
If you have thought about its digestive tracts in its high and low parts, the carapace of its belly, and its eyes and its ears in its head you would be amazed at its creation and you would feel difficulty in describing it. Exalted is He who made it stand on its legs and erected it on its pillars (of limbs). No other originator took part with Him in its origination and no one having power assisted Him in its creation. If you tread on the paths of your imagination and reach its extremity it will not lead you anywhere except that the Originator of the ant is the same as He who is the Originator of the date-palm, because everything has (the same) delicacy and detail, and every living being has little difference.
The Creation of the Universe
In His creation, the big, the delicate, the heavy, the light, the strong, the weak are all equal.So is the sky, the air, the winds and the water. Therefore, you look at the sun, moon, vegetation, plants, water, stone, the difference of this night and day, the springing of the streams, the large number of the mountains, the height of their peaks, the diversity of languages and the variety of tongues. Then woe be to him who disbelieves in the Ordainer and denies the Ruler. They believe that they are like grass for which there is no cultivator nor any maker for their diverse shapes. They have not relied on any argument for what they assert, nor on any research for what they have heard. Can there be any construction without a Constructor, or any offence without an offender.

I sure do.
There are a lot of things that science don't explain. So what, maybe one day it will, right?
Still, I NEED God to explain to me a lot of things that just isn't science's job to explain and it never could

No.
But you do, however, need the Universe to explain God.
