when I see pictures of outer space and the different planets and galaxies, I am inspired to think what a wonderful creation, who or what done this. I think that man would also have asked the same question of these things and many more even if the bible was non-existent. God for me is the greater power than I that surrounds all these things including the wonderful intriquite design of the human being.

I knew God before I knew the Bible. So does everyone of those who are his. I have been in many philosophies, including Yogananda, Siddharta, And as I grew up, I thought I was bad, until I met the World.
And I eventually would have come to know Jesus, because Jesus would have becomed-me. When I saw Siddahrta I thought I could acheive Nirvana, but even putting aside my ambitions and suffering, the suffering of the needy became my suffering, in a world oriented mindset, "revolution" would have been coming to my mind and was in fashion at my youth, but then, I realised "today's defender is tomorrow's oppressor", so even if I could not change the world, I still could see clearly what my actions were to represent.
Perhaps I would have never known about hell or heaven, or paradise, but I could still see the difference between good and evil. So if I was to be judged after death it would have been to my surprise and what would I've been guilty of if I never knew the Law, and what of if I never knew the faith? but my acts speak then for myself. And my faith is then that of having not guilt on my count.

Martin Luther King Jr. would be Jesus in God's form in the next one hundred years, and no God would still exist.
The Bible is a contradictory story, God didn't exist before it anyways. The Bible was decided by a group of people 300 years after Jesus' death, so it hardly has credibility anyways.
There is no entity or being watching over everyone. Nothing can disprove or prove him/her, but either way it doesn't affect me, because he/she doesn't affect me.
There isn't a God.

GOD exist in everlasting and before everlasting and forevermore. The TRUE GOD exist without limits, not bounded by time and space. So your question is irrelevant coz humans have this thing every civilization had called conscience. Your conscience tells you if your doing right or wrong, if you have problem with this then you need a psychiatrist.

No, god would not exist then. Some say that they'd still "feel him" but there is no way that'd work.
But being the rule-making species that we are, we'd come up with something else. Maybe even something more weird than a resurrected human/deity who commands us to drink his blood. As long as it is written down and deemed holy by someone we respect, then we are in it 100%.

The "Word of God" Jesus was speaking of in the Parable of the Sower never was.... and never will be the Bible. (the new testament did not exist when he was speaking, and I doubt that he was passing out those temple scrolls either.)
So whatever he was speaking about would be no more lost than it was before.
This resource explains the Original Word of God from the Original Kingdom Gospel.

My Church existed, grew and prospered for 350 years before the Bible was compiled. It would have continued to do so even if the Bible had never been compiled. The Bible got its material from the teaching of my Church, not the other way around.

God existed for me before I was introduced to the text of the Bible.

Yes, God would definitely still exist for me. Because my faith isn't composed word-for-word from a book. It is composed from what I believe in my heart. I know there is a God, who created us all. God is good. He gave us basic instincts and we know the difference between right and wrong. Trust your instincts and don't stray too far from what you know is right and you'll be fine. You don't need a book to tell you any of this.

If the existence of the stone-age concept of a deity could be proved by the mere existence of a multitude of written objects making unsupported claims, we could prove anything, no matter how ridiculous.
So, it would make to difference in reality!
