Does God exist?

This is one of the questions that philosophers have been trying to answer for a long time now. However, regardless of whether they were trying to prove or disprove his existence, their actions and writings offered little in the form of actually answering the question, (the beauty of philosophy).

Now I'm no philosophical or Bible buff but wouldn't the long, extensive work of people trying to disprove something without any concrete "knowledge" that they have managed to conjure up to ACTUALLY disprove it be evidence enough that you can no longer argue that God does not exist.

Throughout history, human needs have always developed some form of at least a rudimentary religion, that left divine power out of the hands of man. These beings, gods and God, always knew something we didn't, had answers we didn't, and explanations that we couldn't comprehend. That is why even the greatest minds of our time and times past are incapable of comprehending God or his existence, because the systems in which we created Him do not allow us to do so. Therefore, it is foolishness to attempt to dissect the mystery of existence of God. The mere fact that the world has always attempted to have some form of God reflects a basic human need for God, one that could not have been the result of some accidental design. We need things and people because at one point we have come in contact with them and have felt the blessings that they can bestow upon us and desire that continued effect; that is why the world always needs a God.

The men who try to disprove God are usually the ones who have trouble submitting to anything, much less a higher power that they, even in all their intelligence, can't decipher. Choosing to belive in God is first admitting that there are things you don't know and can't know. It is admitting that there is an unlimited scope to power and knowledge, but that that infinite range of possibility does not rest in human hands. Men who try to disprove God are usually unable to cope with the idea that they themselves are not omnipotent and omniscient and therefore feel that nothing and no one can be. Not believing in the existence of God is the declaration that you yourself have all the answers, and all the power to control your own life, and such is not the case.

So, as men themselves do not have divine power or knowledge, and yet there are still things that exist and happen that can't be sufficiently scientifically explained the only logical explanation is that must be a God, or at least some higher power that is capable of knowing and doing things that we as humans cannot do.
