      The short answer is yes.

      The long answer, is what do you mean by “beleive in God”? It could mean, do you beleive in his existence (yes). Can you prove this scientifically? (No).

      And it is related to other really interesting questions about why I beleive in God. But these are not science questions, they are a matter of religion and philosophy.

      No – I was brought up a catholic but realised pretty early on that God was just a means to control people’s behaviour and in the case of the catholic church to make lots of money…

      I don’t personally, hashim28 but lots of my friends do. I’m one of those people who needs a bit of convincing so if someone convinced me well enough then I’ll agree.

      I know that some people believe very much that God does exist – I also think that this is a personal choice.
