I define God for the purpose of my question as a God who is an entity and that created the universe and all of us.

I freely admit that it would be nice if I could believe in a god, if there really WAS a god, however, evidence of evil disproves the existence of god, therefore I just accept this fact and get on with my life.

That implies believing that god actually exists. If you don't believe he does, how could he create universe ?

So answer is no.

Actually it implies nothing, it just askes a question.

Remember, my question is: do you believe in the POSSIBILTY of a God who created the universe and everything in it?

I believe the cosmos was created with intent and for a reason, by what and why I am still struggling with.

I disagree fd ski,

1. You could believe the universe was not created by a god

2. You could believe the universe was created by a god

or

3. You could believe that there is insufficient information to know which of the previous cases is true and therefore may consider either one as being possible.

To me, the last case represents an open mind, the first two require assumptions or ignorance since we clearly do not fully understand the origins of the universe or life as we know it.

As reasonable as the assumptions of science may seem to be, they are still only assumptions.

But for me, the evidence available supports case 1 far better than case 2. So while I can't say with certainty that there are no gods and that the universe was not created by a god, I can say without hesitation that I think case 1 is far more likely than case 2. However small the possibility, I still concede that it is possible that case 2 is true. But if case 2 is true, which god created the universe and why?

Belief in god does not come from information.

So people falling under class 3 try to prove to themselves that he / she does not exist.



Instead, you should be asking yourself, "How has he helped?"
