I choose to believe God exist because I think the laws of physics just randomly or coincidently happenening the way they did out of the infinite other possible options is rediculously unlikely. So unlikely that i choose to believe in some intelligent design instead. As far as what God is like don't know. Is he an individual, a collective, or more like a computer with no real consciousness as we might call it? I couldn't answer with as much conviction as believing in God, but I do have my beliefs about his nature.
Well when I find out more about the universe (which is something I do a fair bit of), it confirms my belief there is nothing beyond nature (natural things, forces, and causes of the kind studied by the natural sciences). Hence there is very likely no higher being or god/s. As a consequence of that that we very likely don't have an immaterial soul which survives beyond death. Although I could be wrong and I would be still happy if I were proven wrong. It is not like I have not given this a lot of thought, in fact quite the opposite.
