No, I believe nothing, for belief is accepting something without proof. I demand evidence for any ideas, and there is none for any gods. By the first amendment, you should give equal time to Ahuramazda, Allah, Amon, Baal, Brahma, etc.

Yes: An unmoved mover, namely God must be accepted to make sense of the fact of change.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Aquinas
Aquinas felt that the existence of God is neither self-evident nor beyond proof. In the Summa Theologica, he considered in great detail five rational proofs for the existence of God. These are widely known as the quinquae viae, or the "Five Ways."
Concerning the nature of God, Aquinas felt the best approach, commonly called the via negativa, is to consider what God is not. This led him to propose five positive statements about the divine qualities:
God is simple, without composition of parts, such as body and soul, or matter and form.
God is perfect, lacking nothing. That is, God is distinguished from other beings on account of God's complete actuality.
God is infinite. That is, God is not finite in the ways that created beings are physically, intellectually, and emotionally limited. This infinity is to be distinguished from infinity of size and infinity of number.
God is immutable, incapable of change on the levels of God's essence and character.
God is one, without diversification within God's self. The unity of God is such that God's essence is the same as God's existence. In Aquinas's words, "in itself the proposition 'God exists' is necessarily true, for in it subject and predicate are the same."

Without proof, its just fanciful thinking first promulgated by our barbaric primitive ancestors to explain the unknown universe. Obsolete genes do not die overnight, so we'll be seeing a distorted worldview by the majority of earth's population for some time to come. Those that use the cerebral cortex of their brains, ie the athiests, are only using a recent development in the evolutionary chain of events, so to speak.....anyway, in answer to you question....no

No. How do you find it really? Believing in God. Like, if the quantity of the God were to be quantized, what do you think it would be? Or do you superimpose God onto everything? Buy him from a religion? Or do you ask posy questions?

Depending on what you mean by God, my answer is either yes or no. It's a big name - too big, too vague, and too important to demand a simple answer. (I do believe in God, by the way, but we'd need to talk more than space allows here.)

Yes I most certainly do. I have witnessed many miracles He has done and I can sense His presence around me when I need Him most

Old question.
Believing or not believing depends on how your brain is wired and what your parents indoctrinated you with whilst you were growing up as a child.
