      Lots of people don’t think God exists. There is no evidence for a God, it is a matter of faith. Some people have that faith and some people don’t.

      There is no evidence that God exists. It’s a matter of belief, not fact.

      The world around us is beautiful and grand, and some people wonder how could this have happened without a creator of some form.

      There is no scientific proof of a god (reproducible given a set of conditions), but that doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist. However it also means that there’s nothing to say it does…

      I don’t think there is an answer to this question, at least, not a scientific one.

      This is because science explains how the world works, what are the rules, the laws of nature, an that’s why it can be a proof-based system. Because the existence of god cannot be proven, science does not say anything about the existence of god, in one way or the other.

      Religion, on the other hand, most often try to tell people about the purpose of life, the existence of god, or the intension underlying the creation of the Universe. These are completely different questions than what science is trying to answer. An there is no way to get a definitive answer on those questions either, that’s why it’s based on belief.
