Sorry to quote myself, but the edit function just wasn't working right.
I wanted to add, there is NO convincing evidence of a god, the people who believe there is one, believe it because they want to. For whatever reason they want to: to feel better, to feel that they as individuals matter, because they were indoctrinated as children, to gain control over others, because they fear death... It is used for many purposes. Doesn't mean a god actually exists.
What does exist is natural law. We see it play out on a daily basis. There is ample evidence. It is why I don't believe in a god in the sense of an entity that put all this into motion. Natural law suffices. There is no personal connection to any one individual.
I question why we as humans have evolved with this need to believe in a personal god. And, in the face of so much evidence of how the world really works from science, why do we cling to that need to believe?
