I think we can safely conclude that It's an integral part of the human psyche to formulate ideas about it. That cannot, however, prove God, because God in this complex construct needs to be believed in and not 'known' apart from intellectually.
I believe this is very well put fr0d0, I would say you have a good grasp of realtiy on this point. I haven't believed that there is a God just because someone told me there is. It took me a long time, a lot of investigating and soul searching until I arrived at my own conclusions about a creator. It was entirely MY choice.
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU BELIEVE, THE GREATEST GIFT TO MANKIND IS THE GIFT OF LIFE.
