Does God Exist?
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

Which one of them?
Because, based on the time and place of your birth, you could have many different Gods.

I try to rationalize it as simple as possible.
Our brain can not even begin to comprehend the distances in the universe, how would you with your big monkey brain think you could possibly know whether there IS or ISN'T an entity capable of creating such feat?300 Forever

Something exists. Today after reading this thread I was singing my favorite Aerosmith tune in my head when I went to start my truck. The same Aerosmith song was playing at the same point of the lyrics in my head. I was going to drive my truck to show some prospective tenants a place to stay for the duration of their job at a refinery here. Turns out they had rented from me 2 years ago. They rented the same house they stayed in 2 years ago.
Guess what the Aerosmith song was.Furnished rental houses in Coffeyville Kansas. Bills paid, weekly rates, full kitchens, washer/dryer, cable/wifi. For traveling workers.

Depends what you mean by that word 'God'. If it's 'Creator of the Universe", then no. That's a ridiculous notion that implies a falsely imagined duality. It only exists in thought.Originally Posted by EiFit91
'God' is a state of being that is not being.It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

I'm not disagreeing with your point about how the name of God is invoked superficially amid what is unfathomably complex and vast, but if our brain is incapable of meaningfully asking these questions, how then is it so aware of its own limitations with respect to them?Originally Posted by iabs

Going to his 9 to 5?Originally Posted by LtGoose
What if he was just something people created because they needed an "explanation" for a phenomenon they couldn't understand in the past: the rain, an earthquake, a lightning on the sky?I like to learn from the mistakes of the people who take my advice.

Well I just wrote several paragraphs using historical evidence to support my yes but "access was denied" and it all got deleted.
So long story short, as the father of microbiology, Louis Pasteur, said, "a little science will separate you from God, but more of it takes you to him."
