I don't necessarily believe in a personal "god" in the sense that JW's or for that matter, most Christians believe.
However, I find the universe to be a very beautiful place. I have decided that the reason it appears beautiful to me is that I am part of an interrelated web of existence. I feel connected to every animal and plant living on this planet. They are my brothers, sisters, cousins, etc, because of our common ancestors.
Science tells us that everything contained in this universe formed from the same event roughly 14 billion years ago. This means that the same event which formed, for example, the stars which I see in the night sky, also initiated the events which led to myself. So, I'm related to those stars.
As the old song used to say "We are stardust, we are golden..."
