When have you ever thought:
"Wow, this is magnificent, maybe there is a God after all"

When I was very, very young.
Actually, that's not quite true. While I may not have said "There may be a God," I have on occasion experienced a sense of the numinous, particularly when contemplating how marvelous it is to have a brain.

During the time that I was an agnostic, I did look in awe at the universe and life, and conclude (temporarily) something like that. But as I continued to learn, I could see how all the magnificence of the world could be built up bit by bit, moment by moment, year by year, for billions of years, through a powerful and simple selection technique that is not intelligent and not predestined. And then I looked at it all again and had an epiphany: Wow, this is even more magnificent than I had thought before because there is no need to invoke a god to explain any of it!
Obviously, now I'm an atheist, and continually in awe of our universe.

I don't really think that way.
There are times, especially when I'm out in nature, or looking at the night sky, that I feel a higher connection to everything, like I'm part of the vastness of the universe. That's probably when I feel the most 'spiritual'.
I consider myself agnostic, not because I go back and forth on the idea of whether a 'God' exists, but because I simply don't think it can be known.

I believe in God but I just want to point out, that despite that i dont spend every second of my life thinking about religion or wondering about it. Life is short so you just have to live in the moment, and especially not worry what other people are thinking about.

This question may be better posed at Athiest but Ill answer anyway.
I think that all the time. Agnostics pretty much believe that something created us. We just arent sure what.

Sure.
When I was in a plane flying over Amsterdam this summer, that was an amazing sight.
When my dog wakes me up in the morning all happy and ready to play.

Agnostics are not Atheists
They believe that there is uncertainty in whether God exists or not
So they may think that, but that doesnt mean they will change their entire faith system

No. I've thought "Wow this is amazing. I wonder how it works and how it was formed?"
I do not try to fill in a lack of knowledge with a lack of reasoning.

I don't remember ever thinking that. Which is why I kinda lean towards the Athiests arguement.
