I believe in God for many reasons:
1 - matter nor energy cannot be created or destroyed, yet we are sarrounded by both. Somebody set off the big bang. If you read Stephen Hawkins interviews before he realized scientist didn't like this point of view and that it effected his pay check he asserted that the Universe had to the result of a conscious decision. That which has design and purpose has to have a designer, accidents rarely look ordered. So much that supposedly happens by accident in our universe has purpose and order. Along the same lines, the theory of ideas/forms...concepts of justice, freedom and all that's good could not be born of human minds in my opinion. We got these from God.
2 - Which leads into....Peoples reactions in such discussions. We fight not with the tangible but with pricipalities and powers which leads so often to raging and incoherant rantings and violence. Rare is the debate between athiest and believer calm.
3 - God saved me. Man does not break true principles, but breaks himself against them. Man needs God and Religion (Jung and his followers). Man is born with concious and a will to strive towards right (recent studies reveal according to NPR, just as the Bible says the non-believer is given conscious to know what's right when he sees it.) Sin is not sin for his sake, but for ours.
Anyway - so much philosophy and knowledge ends with the basic truth that something created this, it would be foolish to turn away, I think.
