      Hi lambrw01

      I believe that a God could exist but I think it depends on how you define a “God”. Some people say that is some kind of divine being (e.g. the God in the Bible) but some people might say that it is something to do with drawing strength from beliefs or oneself (sorry I am not good at putting this sort of things into words!).

      Some scientists have been searching for the existence of a God particle (also known as the Higgs boson) and in fact scientists are expected to annouce their findings any day now on this.

      It is next-to impossible to prove something/anything doesn’t exist
      All you can do is collect evidence that supports that something/anything does exits.

      So I suppose to be truly scientific, you would have to ask yourself,…
      Do you, in your everyday life, see any evidence that supports the idea that God could exist? 🙂

      I think it’s an entirely personal choice.

      Those who believe in God have faith in “a higher being” and can see evidence for this in a million different ways…. from the strange coincidences in nature, to the unexplained phenomenon.

      Others don’t believe a God exists because they need to see a different kind of evidence.

      Either way it’s possible, but it’s ultimately up to YOU to decide!

      Yes, I think it is POSSIBLE that a god could exist.

      In my opinion it is not PROBABLE – but that is a very different question! 🙂

      I think it is extreamly unlikely that God exists.

      Did you hear about the agnostic dyslexic who lay awake at night wondering if a dog exists?
