It is not possible to test for God. The only thing people have is what they read and are taught. For all we know, God may have been produced to explain the unexplainable, to take away some of the natural curiousity that comes with human nature. People have the need to believe that there is something more to life than just what we sense. We need a reason for what we do in this life and most humans need the comfort of knowing that there is a place for them when they die. Whether you believe or not, God is the only thing we have to explain the creation of our surroundings. Science is what we have to explain the ways of our surroundings.

::: I missed Gulik5' question. My answer would be contained in [[Essay: Accuracy vs. neutrality on Conservapedia]], the section about "Proving God", although that assumes you've read the sections prior to that.
::: Jmela09, I think you go too far the other way, seeming to say that we have no way of knowing. Also, it overlooks the possibility that perhaps the "need to believe" is because God created us that way. Why, otherwise, is there a need to believe?
