no there isn't- nothing makes me think there is.
ask yourself this-
if an adult told you that he/she believed in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus - would you think that person was normal or several quarks short of a proton.you would probably correctly assume that they were immature - had little sense of social responsibility relying on an imaginary being to give them good things if they're good and take away the nasty bad things so they don't have to be scared of life and not content with this they had every intent on teaching the same rubbish to their unfortunate offspring should they have any.
and people think I'M the one that's crazy - blimey
one of the great things about being atheist is that you get to do Christmas for purely selfish enjoyment --- hooray - party without commitment

Am curious to the natural inclination of man that everything around him is evidently accountable except himself,this state of mental apathy developed from a lack of God consciousness. but yet in the same breathe the faculties that we govern by are the same faculties that demonstrate to us our human inabilities.
There is a God and if you read the Qur'an you will come to find as many non-Muslims have found that Islam is the final Revelation of God.
READ IT what harm can it do to you if you are very sincere to your question.
"Our inability to comprehend God Is our comprehension of God"

GOD exist only when man exists. Thus god is dependent on man for his existence.
Idea of god or no god is only when one is not aware of his true identity is not physical body but the formless non dual spirit. When one discovers and realizes his true identity is the formless non dual spirit or Atman, one becomes aware of the fact the whole universe experienced as person and the idea of god and whatever is seen and known is mere illusion on the standpoint of the spirit as Self.
Thus truth is the spirit, the truth itself can be god, that is spirit is god. Therefore know your own self to know the true self is god.

Hinduism can give some mystical answers .
Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"
God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva. This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.
In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.
Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.
That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.
This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

Not only is there not a God, but getting a plumber at 1130 at night when your washing machine vomits all over the kitchen needs supernatural powers.

There is only One true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob whose Son is Jesus the Christ the Savior of the world.
The Holy Bible makes me know this because everything written about the Jews has or is coming true. All prophets in the Bible have prophesied TRUTH, because God is TRUTH, and God inspired them to write.
Besides that I am His daughter and He speaks to me. His Spirit that is in me, guides me and teaches me all things.

Define god? I say that because different peope have different ideas about what god is. If you are thinking about a being that is omnipotent omniscient and omnipresent, who judges you for wanting to fufill your biological drives and then sentences you to eternal hell. Then I prefer to think that there isn't a god.
