Rob, let's set aside the monotheistic Christian God of the bible. As I wholeheartedly agree that all "religions" make absurd claims.
Many here ask for evidence or a claim.
I will claim that a god, that is personable, intelligent, and powerful by nature, is the best rational explanation for the existence of the observable universe.
The way the 4 fundamental laws of physics interact to sustain our planets, stars and the observable universe. That our observable universe appears to have a beginning and is not eternal. That life, DNA, the human genome, the mind, consciousness, the ability to reason and perform scientific evaluation, nature, and how as we humans differ from animals, I would claim that these are all very complex and intricate mechanisms that point to a designer or creator.
From a logical perspective it seems to me that a creator or by design is a more rational and acceptable hypothesis than the perspective that the universe just happened or made itself from a foamy sea of quarks vibration and gravity, that life just happened from a collection of amino acids, and that evolution just happened to produce DNA, our unique human consciousness, Beethoven, and the Manchester United FC.
