God is definitely a true being. All one has to do is take a look around at this world we all call home. There is not one inch of it that could of been formed by an accident of atoms colliding. I know that the logical part of our brain combined with how we have been taught to think tells us that god has to be a fairy tale. But if you really take time to think about the odds, and the probability of conditions being perfect, at the time these atoms just floating around in space collided the exact moment they did to make life possible, will that sounds like a fairy tale to me also. The odds of this occurring would be so astronomical that it would make the likely hood of this event near impossible. I would have better odds at winning a million dollar jackpot in Las Vegas with just one coin, one pull of a slot machine than the odds of the big bang theory actually being how life came to be.

Take a look at how the earth and all the ecosystems function together to maintain the life on this planet. All life, ecosystems, and biosystems are dependent one on the other. If one ails they all begin to ail, if one dies they all begin to deteriorate and die, like a chain reaction. Everything in this world and solar system are woven together to form a whole. Another way to put it, is life works like a computer program, when functioning properly it runs smoothly, but when it begins to break down eventually it crashes the whole system. I truly believe if people would just take a good look and get just the most basic understanding of how life works and how everything is dependent on the other, the logical part of their brain would believe that life was created by something and it was no accident.

I will give those that believe god is man's invention this much. Even as a believer I have my moments when I wonder if the God we have been taught to believe in wasn't created by someones imagination in a time of much chaos, hoping to bring some kind of order to their time period.
But even that doesn't follow logic or the condition of man. Man has always struggled for power and control especially in ancient times. This would lead me to think that if God was created by a man or a group of men that there would be provisions in Gods word (their invention) signifying some sort of deity or greatness to leaders. The word of god does not do this. If anything it tells that to be a great leader you must serve others, quite the opposite of leaders back then. They wished to be served and bowed down to.
