Why are you chasing the idea of the existence of a God?

[robvalue]

No, what is innate is the desire, nay the need, to explain things.  Humans are constantly seeking to discover how and why things work.  God is/was simply an easy explanation when there isn't a better one at the time.

Why do we exist?
Why did my child die?
What are the sparkly points in the sky?
How did they get there?

Before we understood evolution, germs, astronomy, etc, God was an answer for all of this and much much more. Why are their floods?  The Gods are angry. And so forth.

People do not automatically seek god. They automatically seek answers.  And they tend to believe what they are told by adults and authority figures, a natural part of human psychology.

That's all there is to god.  Just a need to explain everything when everything cannot be explained, and an evolutionary benefit to teaching/learning gone wrong.

Exactly, great answer.

I've never sought "a creator" because I'm comfortable saying, "I don't know"; and I accept reality on its own terms. I truly don't care if there's a creator or not.

But as I always say, if it wants to communicate with me, it's welcome to.
