I know many people simply think that believing in a "God" is simply ridiculous. I don't. I can't necessarily "prove" that God cares, or that God exists but I'll tell you what---when something awful happens I do pray to God and hope for the best.

Do You Believe In "God"?
Yes, of course.
Minimus, my advise is don't just leave it until the chips are down to contact God. He is there to help in the good times and the bad.
All the best,
Stephen

Yeah, which God are you referring to? Or do you just mean a general first cause?
A first cause is 'possible' although there are plenty of other explanations for the existence of the universe & the first cause itself would still require explanation.
As for the idea of a personal God as worshipped by many religions, the answer is a pretty obvious no.
However, higher lifeforms? Possibly... but who knows. Non-corporial lifeforms? Once again, possibly, but pretty unlikely & not really worth investigating yet scientifically, in my opinion.
