Because God is ultimately beyond human comprehension no definition will

The only indication of God's existence that matters [for some people] is the
insight, the intuition that God does indeed exist.  This insight [presumably]
opens a world of possibilities foreclosed to the mind of each individual
human.

The Bible (The 'the' seems misleading) has long ceased to be word-of-mouth. 
It is the oldest continually maintained record of "history" in Western
Culture.  It is not a traditional history in 20th century terms, but its
deliberate inclusion of embarrassing and damning criticism of its own
people serves as a "witness against interest" which is taken as a high standard
in testimony.

Saying that God doesn’t have a creator is like saying that humans don’t have a

With these simple questions the divine “GOD” becomes a simple illusion. A

Now can you understand how small we are? That tiny white dot in the last
picture is our home galaxy. NOT our home planet, just our home galaxy. And in
that small dot you can find a small yellow circle (the second above picture) with
the stars you see at night.

And in this huge galaxy called Milky Way there are billions other solar systems
just like ours. And in this huge Universe there are billions other galaxies just like
ours or bigger that contain so much unknown! If the observable universe would
be shrunk down to the size of Earth our own planet would become just a 0.1
picometer dot! And our home galaxy Milky Way would have a radius of about 7
meters. The distance to our closer galaxy Andromeda would be about 350
meters. Can you imagine all these?
Space is something so amazing! So attractive! So HUGE! The distances are
measured in LIGHT YEARS! Can you imagine a LIGHT YEAR? Do you know the
speed of light? The speed of light is noted “c” and it’s exactly 299,792,458 m/s.
That’s almost 1.08 BILLION km/hour!!! The light from Sun to our planet takes
almost 8 minutes to get to us! That’s a 150 MILLION kilometers distance! Light
needs just 8 minutes! With a Bugatti Chiron going constantly at 400 km/h
straight to Sun you will need almost 43 YEARS to get there! 43 years of
continuous driving in full speed with no stop!!!

So a quick break here, WHY did I posted so much information about space and
galaxies and distances? To get you to understand how small we are and how
huge are the distances in space!

Have you noticed that babies have no notion of religion? They only need shelter,
heat, food. And have you noticed that ALL babies in the first 10 years develop
the same religion as their parents? Because parents give them these sources of
information! They take them to the same church as they do without offering
them the free will! Once the baby will get 18 years old he can choose on his own
what religion wants to choose. And I am pretty sure he will choose to be religion
free, to study more and more. Because the only key to let the religion down is to
educate yourself! You have to read lots of books and experiment yourself! Once
you do this, religion will be just a simple word for you.

And I want to hit another topic before I end this answer. Religion was invented
by some smart people as a way to control population. I really recommend to all
people that read my answer to watch all 3 movies of Zeitgeist. Is a single movie
divided in 3 big parts: The Movie, Addendum and Moving Forward. There are
many other documentaries about how the world is dominated by a small group
of people but this one explains it the best (at least it did it for me).

Just a cool little story I thought you all might enjoy and be encouraged by
Einstein’s use of logic to prove that God can exist.

An atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of
his new students to stand. 'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely. '

'Is God good?'

'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible! He considers for a moment.

attributes that can only be associated after enacting them into existence. This
raw newborn existence, however controversial or ambiguous, is precisely all we
require to compose a reality and an experience. It cannot be any other way.

What we see is what we already believe. Those of us who deny God cannot
see him, and those of us who see numbers see them because we accept
them. Our predispositions determine experience.

So does God exist you ask?

"Show me a number and I will show you God."

The question is like asking a scientist if constants exist, or an economist if value


exists, or a watchmaker if time exists. Just because what we value is useful, it
doesn't mean they must physically exist in nature. Instead, it is when what we
value is so incredibly useful, that they manifest into the equivalent of a physical
existence. They then become as real as real, and we proceed to build physical
representations to compensate for their lack thereof. This does not make them
fake. They are the devices of utility. What is useful flourishes, and what is
useless perishes. Their value is in their usefulness, and their usefulness is with
us. And we are real.
