The question about God's existence, is an old one, and the path of it's debate probably worn out to the core; nonetheless, it is still an unanswered question, and still divides people in basically two main groups:

The 'No' Group

Those who answer 'no' to this question, usually fall into the reductionist/ empiricist group; those who say: if he existed (note they always 'existed', not 'exists'), why has he never shown himself, or they will say: prove it! A member of the 'yes' group will usually retaliate and ask: who created the universe (note, they use 'who', and not 'what'), and with triumphant smiles, the 'no' group answers that the universe came into existence by 'chance'.

Now, this 'chance' is a word applied to an interesting concept [all people's arguments are based on concepts in their minds; concepts that have been based on observation of our universe; almost like very strong opinions, as many of these 'proven' concepts, usually get challenged later in time]. Chance is nothing more, than a probability engine, this probability engine based on fractals, thus 'chaos theory'. Ironically, our universe is a fractal machine. Notice how everything you look at, is fractal: cardiovascular patterns, river deltas, trees, snowflakes, mountain ranges, lightning...all fractals; patterns within ever present patterns, ever similar, but never the same. It is this fractal machine, using vibrating M-Branes to shape fermions and bosons, shaping matter and energy, which in turn, shape this space-time 'reality' we call the universe. It is this very fractal machine, that creates life through a process (used by empiricists in their anti-God arguments) called Darwinism. But Darwinism is only the observation of the fractal machine's automated work.
Now, how did this fractal engine - which 'creates' ever similar patterns, thus everything we know, including ourselves - come into existence? To say that it came into existence by chance, is a conundrum. This suggests that another external or internal probability engine created this one we're finding ourselves in. How many of these are there then, and what 'made' them?

This to my mind, leaves a large gap in the 'No' argument. A further irony, is that the 'No' group, usually talks about the Western notion of God in arguments, and uses the literate words of the Creation Myth in one book, to point a finger at believers and say: this makes no sense if you look at the evidence of evolution. But how can these clever men and women of science not
