I don't have all the answers to why we are here, but neither has anybody ever been able to answer that. Creating a god seems like a simple scapegoat. Honestly I've always hoped there was a higher power to give life meaning. But as of now, we simple humans will never know. Maybe in a few thousand more years give or take.

these are good points... who's G_D is more powerful or more real has always been settled with war... you win, better G_D... simple.
and here is the reality for me: it is impossible for a man to understand the mind of G_D, so I need to make up an answer right away? then convince everyone it's true so I can sleep better? the concept of G_D has always been embedded in man, and I have never visualized G_D as a person... in fact I have no visualization of a G_D. never have. felt G_D around since I was a little kid. that's just how it is for me. I certainly don't visualize a Greek or Hebrew G_D, which apparently many do and find it objectionable.
like having perfect pitch or something. just because you don't have perfect pitch doesn't mean not it's true. and if someone with perfect pitch tells you they can do miracles, they are lying to you. I think of G_D more in terms of possibilities and allowances that I can interact with, and honestly I never consider the nature of G_D, although that's pretty big business.
and I agree only time will tell. seems a bit arrogant to me with only 4.7% of the information available to make statements like there is no G_D.
