What in this world is real?
What are the parameters to identify what's real and what's not?
Did God created Man, or Man created God?

The Christian God was very careful to prove himself when he had the Bible written. He wanted to make sure you would recognize him as God when he set his plan of salvation into effect. What he did is predict the future. No person on earth, no medium or psychic, can claim the accurate prediction rate of God. God gave times, people's names, and place names so we can check out history and verify his work. He even gave us the name of a historical figure centuries before the fact!
Now if you wanted everyone to know that you, as God, was going to appear as a human being, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.
God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in written form four hundred years before Jesus' birth. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.
If you haven't been exposed to biblical prophecy, before, let me give you several examples.
Daniel recounts in chapter eleven of his book of having received knowledge of future events. Written in the 6th century B.C., Daniel gives us an accurate description of events winding down to 199-198 B.C. He foresaw Alexander the Great's kingdom split up into four factions. The prophecy predicts details of the conflict between the Ptolemy and Seleucid dynasties. Skeptics cannot believe the account was written before 164 B.C. Unlike Nostradamus' cryptic writings, Daniel chapter eleven describes plain schemes and conquests that are easily followed by the student of history.
Can you name the next president of the United States just two years ahead of time? Can you guess what name a friend will come up with for her new baby barely nine months into the future? No? Well, how about naming a king who will not appear for another 150 years, and name his nation? The prophet Isaiah did just that. In 44:28-45:1 God tells us that Cyrus, king of Persia, will decree regarding Jerusalem, "You shall be built," and regarding the temple, "Your foundation shall be laid." In 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3 we find that Cyrus did indeed come to power and called the Jews to return to Israel and rebuild Jerusalem.
Can you predict when the Messiah (God's chosen one) will appear in the world? Daniel 9:24-25 tells us that the Messiah would die 483 Hebrew years after "the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem." Neh. 2:1-8 tells us that King Artaxerxes issued that decree (March 5, 444 B.C.). 483 prophetic years (360 days to a year in the calendar of the ancient world) and seven days later, Jesus the Messiah was crucified.
How could a prophet accurately predict the dismantling of a world empire hundreds of years beforehand? How could a prophet give us the name, nation, and decree over a hundred years prior to the king's birth? How could a man foretell to the year the life and death of Jesus unless he really heard the voice of God? (I can't even predict which shirt I'll wear tomorrow.) These are only a small sample of prophecy in the Bible. One quarter of the Bible is prophecy. Several archeological discoveries have verified these and many other accounts. God has proven his existence wonderfully.

Yes. Yes.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Rom. 1:20
The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good. Ps. 14:1

Us humans want to believe something is watching over us,so we don't go insane,we made up the bible over years ago because a schizophrenic guy believe he knows god (Jesus), in those days they weren't really smart.
If you actually see something that's real but you haven't seen anything and go by one persons opinion or who ever really that's stupid.. you see you believe,not by one person, if god is real it will show its self,is god even a human is it a woman or man...
no answers can be proved that god is real or not.
i believe karma is the answer for everything. being positive makes good things happen.

Humans are funny how they tend to imagine that if they don't believe or whatever, God doesn't exist.
God is HOW you are you..... Free Will allows us to choose the conditions.
God is HOW you are able to recognize your face's reflection when you haven't ever actually seen it.
God is LOVE, Light, Truth, Joy....... LIFE.

No answer is definate.
No one knows.
In my opinion, I don't believe in the 'Christian' god, but I think that there may be a chance of another one. Who knows?

God is very real.
God is like the wind: you can't see it, but you can feel it, and see its effects. It can be gentle, and it can be fierce and powerful. But it is most definately there.
