no. i do not believe in god. there is rather someting than nothing. therefor consciousness has always existed. this universe of ours is the world of matter: mind over matter means that the mind creates matter. Since the creators of this material world must have been conscious beings the next logical step would to go and search for those conscious beings, but -since I am a lazy simple-minded- I prefer to stay close to my home planet and thus I see only you and me and us. Logic insists that I say We are the creators of our Own universe.
I see us as gods forever, learning from our mistakes and misfortune, sometimes we get stuck in some dimension of weird material thoughts, but once we find a way out of this illusional holodeck, we then are free to be wherever we want to be and whenever we want, FOREVER and always, because we are gods.
We are thinking conscious beings with the power to create our own realities according to what our believes are; if we believe in a material reality, we will create a material world and then we would think of it as the only possibility. So, I believe in consciousness as the divine being that makes up everything forever. from my point of view we are never made and we will never die.
are you satisfied now? can I go home now?!
~EaZeNaMe~ yeah!

yes I am Satisfied... well I do agree with what you said about us being in control, yes, we can do as we please, but I myself belive in God, but that's just me I'm a single person.
Yet we can decide what to do, we control our thoughts if we want to.

I believe in God. If you hung out with me without knowing me, you probably wouldn't believe that I did, but I do. Lately I've been straying but I do personally believe in God. I know people are constantly saying that there is no possible way that some supernatural being in space could have created all this, but really. How many other possible ways can something this massive have been created? The Big Bang is a bunch of crap (ahem). Put an empty box in a closet and how long will it take for nothing to make something.... hmmm certainly more than billions and billions of years....The Big Bang is not the thing to believe.
But still? How can an invisible and non-provable God make all this?
Faith, is the answer you are looking for.
Psh, good answer, Einstien... There's no way there can be a God.
Why do non-believers always try to prove believers wrong...? Why is it that when you can say darn you want to say Hoover "Dam"? (yeah for those who don't agree with swearing) And why is it that you find so much more satisfaction doing the things that you know you aren't suppost to do? Because there is a God and there is a Satan. I mean Satan believes in God. He believes he is more powerful. He tries to get into all of you, and he gives you these things God warns against. Satan believes in God, and his goal is to get all of you to not. Obviously, he's gotten to some of you.

I don't believe in God. I don't have anything against people with a religion; one of my best friends is Mormon. I just prefer science to religion. If it can be tested, and get the same results, I'll believe it. If it's pure nonsense, that's another story.

Personnally I beleive that God exists, sometimes I even tend to believe in the theories concerning afterlife. But I don't do too much to show my faith. I mean I don't go to church or pray to often. I think it's a bit useless. To me this looks like a way of boasting in front of other people about how moral and religious you are. I believe that honest faith is enough.

I DO believe in God. In fact, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. www.lds.org

I don't believe in a God at all. The concept just makes no sense to me. For me to believe many things I need proof. Is there any sustainble evidence for his existence? Well there's surely a lot of it for his non-existence from what I see. From the evidence I've seen, I believe that life came about as a result of many physical forces acting up and by chance a molecule that can replicate itself, called DNA, comes about. I don't believe that life was the result of the will of some deity but as a result of a chance occurance.
Finally, something humourous, as extracted from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
The Babel fish is small, yellow and leechlike, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
The fact that such a thing could occur by pure chance was seen as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic. "Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing."

I can't believe in god as there are too many unanswered questions such as if god exists which religion is the true one and which aren't real etc.

I rather like the way Captain Kirk put it at the end of one of the TOS movies (I can't remember the name of the movie). I can't remember exactly what he said, but it was something like this: 'Mabye God exists in our hearts'. If God exists, then it's in the hearts of the ones who believe.

A common answer for believers would be he has always been there. Also if God exsists why did he create people differently for example skin colour and other variations? Isn't the reason why there are human variations due to evolution?

I've sometimes thought of that Kader. It's a good point. The Egyptians God may exist. There's as much proof for Gods like 'Ra' the sun god to exist than there is for the God that Christians follow.
However, in just the same way that we cannot prove that aliens exist or don't exist, I try and stay open minded about a God.
