I have done a lot of research on the subject and I have come up with a theory, or belief if you will.
God is not a creature, nor a spirit. He is not the creator of the universe, nor is he all-knowing. He is a fictitious character that is a creation of our own imagination. He is the explanation that we have given to everything good and complex, just as satin is the explanation for everything wrong and simple. We have concocted this idea of a high power because in society their is always a leader. Someone responsible for the circumstances in which a society is presently in. So it is only natural to think their is a higher power which governs all. He is inside us, although that does not necessarily make him less important to humanity.
Agree or disagree? Explanations.

Good thinking. I bet there is a psychological phenomenon to this effect (The lone lemming effect, the lost sheep syndrome, the infinite chain of leadership fallacy, what have you).

You rightly said that it is natural to think that there is a higher power which governs all because our society is build upon this principle. Each and every body has an owner.
I don't know what is your reason to reject God, because when you reject something you should know it's meaning, you only mentioned that you don't believe in Him. Mostly atheist they tell me that see these people around me what they worship, what Gods they worship. It is their own creation, they have got human qualities, therefore I do not believe in such Gods. Because the concept of God that these people have is a wrong concept. If you reject such wrong concept of God even I as a Muslim reject these wrong concepts of God. But the moment I agree with you, I have to also tell you the true concept of God.
The best definition that I can give of God Almighty from the holy Qur’an is Surah Ikhlaas, Ch. No. 112, which says ‘Allah the absolute and eternal’, meaning, he is absolute, he is eternal. He has no beginning, he has no end, he is the one who helps other people but does not require help……
… ‘He begets not nor is he begotten’, he has no father and mother. He has got no children, no begotten children…
… ‘And there is nothing unto him like in this world’. There is nothing comparable to him in this world. The moment you can compare God to anyone, he is not God …
… this is a four line definition of God. If anyone who you claim to be God Almighty, who you claim to be Allah (SWT) fits in this four line definition. I leave it upto the everyone reading, the intellectual audience to decide for themselves that whichever God they are worshipping, let them put their God to test. To this 4 test of the Qur’an, if the God you are worshipping, if they pass these 4 test, we Muslims, we have got no objection in accepting him as God Almighty. Otherwise, you can decide for yourself.
After giving these proofs some atheists they may agree that now we believe in such a God. But most of the atheist will not agree. They will say we do not just believe in such definitions we believe in something, which is ultimate. We believe in science. I do agree today is the age of science and technology so lets put the scientific knowledge that we have. Let us apply it to the Qur’an in this book QUR'AN AND MODERN SCIENCE - Compatible Or Incompatible http://www.irf.net/book3.zip

I disagree because, I think our problem as humans is that we think that we know everything and can explain everything. There is so much our minds cannot comprehend and God is one of them. I do believe in God because I have seen miracles from God. As a Muslim, we try not to think about what God is, what God looks like, God is not a male nor a female in our religion, God is just God. The Quran mentions so many things that science proved hundreds of years later, such as the big bang theory for example. Maybe you yourself have not felt God yet in your life, you need to search for God. Its too bleak a future to think about if you think that this life is it, to me that just makes no sense, there HAS to be more out there.

Agree, I think that everyone should believe like the true indians, They didn't believe one god. Nature had it's on sep. gods for diff. things. There are people that still think and believe that way, And of all the ones I know take life, and stress with alot more peace!!!!!!!!!!!

satan is the prence of chaos and confusion , that would make him the one who seeks complexity , and the enimy of simplicity, thus Gods moto would be ( keep it simple ) so you might have it backward

I respectfully disagree because God always was.God is similar to your brain.It takes faith to believe that we have a brain because you can't see it.

Interesting theory you have, but where did you get your information from, if I may ask?
