I don't believe that there are any gods... That does not mean that I know that there aren't, it just seems that everything around us is able to happen naturally. There are things I can't explain, surely, but lack of knowledge is not a reason for believing in the supernatural... but really I just wanted to comment on some other people's answers:
"Nothing complex can be built without a design being made first."
This is simply not true. Atoms, molecules, crystalline structures, diamonds, these are all incredibly complex but arise out of the natural order of events. If you play a game of pool and make the break, and all of the balls zoom around the table bouncing into each other, this is clearly a complex event but required no design to happen.
"Look in a mirror, you have been designed by some one outside of this space time continuum. You had to be."
When I look into a mirror, I see someone who grew from a zygote into an adult naturally without anything "outside the space time continuum" being necessary.
"Look at the laws of gravity, conservation of energy, and motion, a supreme intelligence again, wrote these laws and made nature obey them!"
Laws of nature are OUR (human) interpretation of events around us. The law of gravity, besides being incorrect and overthrown for the theory of relativity, is not necessarily unbreakable, nor the conservation of energy or motion (which again, is broken by relativity) - and the idea that 'nature' is something separate from this and 'obey's these laws is without merit.
"Who is this lawyer? Who is this designer? who is this builder? Some one who loves us very much went through all this trouble. Who is this Lover?"
Why is there a "Who"? Why not a "what"? And what makes you think this "who" is a "lover"? This is again, without merit.
To close... Nobody KNOWS whether a god or gods exist, and anyone claims to is kidding themselves or dilusional, but making things up without merit and trying to appeal to our fallable personal intellect is going to get you no where.

Probably not.
Natural explanations always seem to replace supernatural ones. Everytime someone thinks they have something that could only be explained by God, sooner or later a natural explanation is found.
And it wouldn't mean much to say God made everything, as some things are certainly attributable to human invention, like cars or PCs.
Mountain man, poor arguement.
Just becuase something cannot or is unlikely to happen in our lifetime, doesn't mean it can never happen.
There is no reason to conclude that it is in principle impossible for abiogenesis to have occured without the help of a Creator.

What? Do you mean he made himself also?
Talk about self-made man...
Until god calls me personally (hey, I'm in the book so there is no excuse. Besides, he is supposed to know everything right? So my phone number should not be such a challenge), confirms he exists and proves his all-mightiness, then I will not believe there is one.

God is the collection of physical laws that govern how matter interacts. This matter interacted in such a way that eventually 'life' came into existence. This life evolved into such wondrous and complex beings (people) that think and can ask questions about how all this came into being and what is the right way to treat all of this living and non-living 'stuff' that we are living on (earth).

please read with an open mind and do searches about everything i said. it will shed light on lots of things and if u want to know more tell me
idk for sure but if you wondering about religions and stuff i can help.
most religions tell kinda the same story. and people didnt just make up i guy named budha or jesus but what went wrong was people misunderstanding what they said and bad translation. well the answer to everything is that aliens are real that explains religons and why every ancient cultures had multiple gods that they said came and went when they pleased (which sounds like aliens to me) and it explains how we all of a sudden in 50 years have advanced so much in technology. and if you wonder why thousands of people claim to see ufo's a month, you answer is simple aliens are real. it combines science with religon
