The usual reply when asked the currently laughable and unexpected question "Do you believe in God?" is "Yes when i was young".I have asked this question to many people and most give the same reply.
In my observation,currently the belief in god is for the poor and insecure.
Or maybe for people considered as ignorant (I am a believer myself).
Go Africa or go most parts of Asia and everybody is a believer.Go western Europe and god has been deported.
At times of extreme desperation all of us become momentary believers.We shout and yell at the someone called god and order it to do as directed,and when "it" doesn't obey our commands we confirm its nonexistence.
Strangely enough some scientists {who may be the agents of Vatican or mecca) occasionally use this illusive three lettered word "GOD".
Still they are on the lookout for their nanoscopic god
There is something i always believed,that everything goes round in circles.No matter how big or small the circle may be,everything ends where it started,eventually.
Theoretical science started with trying to prove or disprove god,and it seems that it gets stuck at the http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3546973.stm">same point over and over again.
Are they playing up with us the non scientific general public? Why not abandon something that doesn't exist,and has no scientific proof? That something or someone we don't need because we can take care of ourselves without ant assistance.
May be they just want us to remain confused.
