Answer 2

The essence of Creation is real, some call it God and give it human characteristics. I believe that the Creator is a natural force that will someday be understood by man authentically without religious superstition muddying our perception.

As intelligent life forms we have the ability to discern fact from fiction but we still cling to ancient fables that reduce the Creator to a human obsessed tyrant. If we allow it, science will teach about the Creator which many call God.

Answer 3

Not very likely.

First, you have to define the term "God." The problem with most theists is that this term is a moving target.

In addition, because there is no evidence either for or against the existence of God, you cannot use deductive logic (a+b=c; therefore c-b=a). You can only reach a conclusion by inductive reasoning using the balance of evidence (90% of A is also B; C is B, so the chances are 90% that C is also A).

So to begin with, I will assert (and others may shoot this down) that the only RELEVANT definition of God states that GOD INTERVENES TO CIRCUMVENT NATURAL LAWS.

If God circumvents natural laws, then it becomes impossible to understand natural laws. All scientific findings would have to include the stipulation, "It is also possible that these results are an act of God, a miracle, thereby making our research meaningless."

However, we have been able to expand our knowledge of natural laws (evidenced by every appliance in your kitchen). Therefore, because the scientific method leads to applicable discoveries, and the likely conclusion is that God, at least the intervening kind, does not exist.

Additionally, if God is defined as all loving, all powerful, and all knowing, then it is impossible to explain suffering. Either God is not all loving (he acts sadistically), not all powerful (he cannot prevent suffering), or not all knowing (he created suffering by mistake because he didn't know the consequences of his actions). A God who is not all-loving, all-powerful or all-knowing is also not sufficient for the definition of God, because any God that fails to meet these criteria becomes bound by rules that are greater than God.

If God is bound by external rules and/or does not intervene in our existence, then God is either non-existent or irrelevant. The classic Bertrand Russell argument is that I cannot prove that a china teapot is orbiting the sun between the earth's orbit and Mars. But while I cannot prove this is not true, the evidence against it is compelling.

The evidence against God is equally compelling, and while it is not possible to prove beyond any doubt, it makes enormously more sense to live your life as if there were no God.

It is more compelling to me that humans have invented God (a) to help people deal with the pain and fear associated with death and loss, and (b) to reflect the thoughts of the ruling powers in a particular time. Humans are always searching for explanations. When none were found, it was the natural inclination to declare that the cause of the unexplained was "God" (or gods). As the faith grew, miracles (coincidences) and laws were ascribed to this Divinity, and an orthodoxy grew up around it.

Now it seems unhelpful to believe in such superstition. The only matters that aid in our ongoing well-being are work, location, health, sustenance, and pure, blind luck.

So that's why it's unlikely that God exists.

Answer 6

Well, it depends on your beliefs.
Some people think God is real, others don't.
Either you believe in him or not that is totally up to you.

So whether God is real or not is really up to you.

Answer 7

Which god? I can make a decent argument for the existence of Thor.

Answer 8

Only as real as you make him. Just like an imaginary playmate. They are only real if you belive hard enough that they are real.

Answer 9

Yes! And he doesn't believe in atheists either.

But seriously, trying to make sense of all the "waffle" and other nonsense to be found in places like the internet can be difficult. Good luck in your search for an answer!

Answer 10

Of course he is. No way this beautiful and complex world happened by chance. He created each of us in his own image.
