The answer should be based on your observation and reflection of everything that has surounded you. Also try to look into your emotions. Thanks
Diffidus:
If a God existed (and I cannot base this on my observation, since I have never witnessed such a phenomena) it would need to have all the attributes necessary to create the whole universe including life itself. I would imagine such a God to be impersonal. A being that created the universe and then left it to evolve so that people could have free will within it. A God could not be all powerful, omnipotent and perfect due to the fact that evil exists. An impersonal God, of the sought that I describe, may even answer Epicurus' riddle with regard to the existence of evil in the world:
If He is able and willing - whence cometh evil.
If He is unable but willing - then He is not omnipotent.
If He is able but unwilling - then He is malevolent.
If He is unable and unwilling - then why call him God?
