I have been asking myself this question for a long time. I was raised in a very christian family. I think God is just a feeling people cling to in order to have a reason to keep living. There is so much pain in life that some people need to believe there is something else out there to justify living. I dont believe in God.

The whole universe is filled with design. The physical laws of the universe are perfectly designed. Life is perfectly designed and extremely complex. Life does not come from dead chemicals even after billions of years no more than a small snail can come from the same sized nail just by laying it on the floor and seeing if it will come alive after billions of years and crawl away. Wherever you find design you must have a designer. That's just logical and common sense. Who could design a universe. You can call that entity anything you want. Call it a ghost if you want. I call it God. Only a God could design a universe like ours.
The big bang theory says that the big bang is the start of the universe(the beginning of the 4 dimensions, 3 dimensions of space and one dimension of time). About 95-100% of scientists believe in the big bang. But the law of cause and effect(which Einstein called the most reliable of all the physical laws of the universe) says that anything that has a beginning needs a cause. Therefore, the universe, according to 95% of the scientists must have a cause. Let's take a look at this cause. The effect is never greater than the cause. If the effect has a certain attribute, the cause must also have that same attribute. You simply can't give what you ain't got. Let's see what attributes this effect(the universe) has. The universe has intelligence, because humans have intelligence. Therefore the cause must have intelligence. The universe has personality because we have personality. Therefore, the cause has personality. The universe has emotions because we have emotions. Therefore, the cause has emotions. The universe has will because we have will and it was the will of the cause, therefore the cause must have will. Now let's see, the cause has will, intelligence, emotion and personality. That sounds a lot like a very personal God to me. Again, you can call it a ghost if you want. I call it God. You might object that the universe didn't have these attributes at its beginning. Where did they come from? Don't tell me they just evolved. Ask any information scientist if information can come from dead chemicals. We have enough info in our genes to fill a stack of books from here to the moon and back 500 times. It didn't just come from dead chemicals. The animals don't have emotion, personality and for the most part, intelligence. They also lack a recognition of morals. The lion doesn't kill and eat the gazelle and then start feeling guilt about what he did. Where did morals come from? The only answer that makes sense to me is that there's a God up there that created all this and put these attributes in this universe. I believe that God is the Christian God and that is my humble opinion.

You see, we claim to know so much about science that we say, that we evovled from a single cell, Big Bang created us and so on.
Just looking at a single cell under an electroin microscope, we see that it is complex as it can get. Made by itself? The idea is laughble at most. Scince today has advanced, but in the broad spectrum of things, its still is in its infancy. Its only been a 100 years that science has reached where it is today in the 4 billion years of our planets history. Hence science has a long way to go and is yet to discover many many more things which we still dont know. Hence lets just not say that God doesnot exsist. A 100 years ago, we no one would have belived that man would walk on the moon. 700 years ago, the earth was flat.
Scinece helps us to open up to possiblities. Lets just not think the way old civilizations used to think.
As for the Big Bang, God indeed created this universe with a Big Bang as Said in the Quran that
"Do not the unbelivers see, that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit of creation, and We cloved them asunder, will they not then believe" Quran 21:30
This verse is the explaination of big bang in a nutshell revealed in the quran 1400 years ago. I am not asking you all to become muslims. But as Humans, we need to be open to possiblities and not close our minds to what current evidence suggests, as i already said, there are a billion more things which science is yet to discover. A complex machine such as a human cannot be made by itself, no matter how many billion years you give it. There has to be some one to guide its development in a certain way. Second, evolution doesnot prove that God does not exsist, Third, the Big bang does not prove that god does not exsist, since God himself say in the quran that He created the universe with a Big bang.

If God was superior and have created all this, then why not perfecting it
Why do people die
Why everything decay
Why do we suffer?
Why do we encounter unhappiness?
Why are some people infertile like myself?
Why do we see some bad people live a healthy happy life while some good people live in a continious suffering?
Why do children die at young age? They didn't sin to be punished... And if their death is a punishment for their parents then why will a poor innocent soul suffers?

Me... Not for a picosecond. ... The Big Bang created (actually expanded or inflated) "all this" Universe from the Big Bang Singularity. ... And the evidence is awe-inspiring, dating back to Hubble in the 1920s.

Did you mean "doesn't"?
Atheists tend not to believe in God, or any god for that matter. Agnostics don't always either, but they're a mixed bunch.

I do not. If you believe in a Creator...then you believe in God.
Don't you love how Wanzanna pointed her finger and called vvv an atheist like it was calling someone a witch in Salem?

I certainly don't believe there is a thinking being creating things.
Randomness has infinite diversity, and can be as equally complex.

I don't believe in any gods, anymore.
And no, I haven't believed that the universe needed a creator for a long time. Why should it?
