::::This is very possible, however, how can we explain the origin of the "need to believe"? What scientific evidence do we have? It seems God is proven by the individual and not by science. Some people believe their whole life and others begin believing when they feel the "need to believe". What triggers this "need to believe"? I think it has to do with the way you view your life and experiences. The people that believe are the people that feel God has somehow touched their life or society. The idea of God is very personal and can only be explained by the individual. {{unsigned|Jmela09}}

::::: I would think that everyone has a "need to believe", but some satisfy, at least partially, that need with other answers.  It is true that many people believe in God for purely personal reasons, but it's false to say that personal feeling is the only basis for belief.  God can be deduced logically, and quite a few people have come to believe in God not because of personal experience or feelings, but because of the overwhelming evidence.  See also my [[Essay: Accuracy vs. neutrality on Conservapedia]], down to the section about proving God.  [[User:Philip J.
