None of this shows why one should believe in God though.
For you to believe in the divine would indicate that others might be able to do so as well. If others can do so, why should they believe in the divine?
Up to now, our understanding of God has been ALL in the explanation of man. Thats it. Nothing other than the word of man has been of God. So where does God lie? It seems like a cop-out to resort it to something that you can't investigate.

That doesn't make it more right though. The concept of God and the realm of God and powers of God have been debunked and relegated to smaller domains as time goes on.
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Go back to where I said I don't ##*! with religion and God is inconceivable, no man nor religion can explain the creator. But I guess that's a "cop-out."[/color]

Ok, lets make this simple.
What reason do you have to believe in a "creator" ?
What religion were you raised, if any?
Also, what religion do you reject, if any?
Do you pray? What god do you pray to?
My point is that no matter if you say you're religious or not...the fact that you claim God is a creator... indicates that your understandin of God came from a religion. Religions teach that God was the ultimate creator. If a religion wanted us to say that God only was responsible for the tides and lobster tails, then that would be a different notion of God. That in fact means you are still religious even when you don't think you are.
BTW, it is a cop-out. If you choose to ignore explaining something because you choose to opt for "it can never be explained or even investigated." It is a cop-out to it ever possibly being true or verified.
