Do you believe in God? [Spirituality & Religion]

I'm agnostic because I don't think we'll ever truly know if there is a God. There might be one, but he just loves playing the silent game. I won't completely deny his existence though because there are some things that happen that seem to be complete miracles. On the contrary of that though, there are a lot of scientific evidence of, for example, evolution which is why I don't believe the Adam and Eve story. Like where'd they come from? My dad said that they come from God. Well okay... So they just appeared out of thin air? That doesn't make any sense to me. So, because of these contradicting thoughts of mine, I don't fully believe him but I don't fully deny him either if that makes sense or if any of this makes sense. But if there truly is one... The human race will most likely never know for sure since he seems to love being quiet and, from how I see things, doesn't seem to have a significant impact on the world.

The concepts of God(s) / Superior Omniscient Being is a necessity* for the beginning of a civilized society, and found in the histories all Earthly Societies since we began walking upright.
Men screw up and by definition God cannot!

*(To have an Authoritarian Infallible Figure other than a Man to set up Acceptable Societal Rules & Norms and Universal Consequences for All)

However, the Failings of "Religions", (not of the Gods themselves), is that Men will invariably make Perversions of the God Concept and which are then Imposed upon ignorant "Followers" by the Hierarchy with ulterior motives, (usually of more Power), Thus the Failure of of Man and Man's attempt's to Invent "God".

All belief in GOD requires FAITH, (belief without solid evidence) that God IS whatever you (and your chosen religion) say HE IS! (Even if it is a Confusing Mystery full of Questions Unanswerable).

Soooo, the Faith that GOD "made Everything""because HE Loves and Wants Us" is there as a comforting thought to answer the Unknowable / Unanswerable. Then as Mankind matures intellectually and we discover the more answers about the Universe there are still UNKNOWNS which we can either Accept (say science's explanation) or continue to assign to the Miracle of GOD and keep the Faith.

There's LOTS MORE to consider and discuss, so PM me with any thoughts, if you like
