You're speaking of god, god, god as it were an absolute. I assume you're talking about the christian god. Now I may be what's called a weak atheist, but given the evidence for the existence of the christian god I'm 99.9 percent sure that this one god doesn't exist. The tale, the myth and the timeline just don't add up. I already started to have my doubts as a child and went through the don't care stage for decades. Same goes for Allah and all the other scripted gods out there. Still existing and long forgotten included. They're all made in our image and not the other way round.
What I will never be able to rule out is the existence of some neutral uncaring force making the universe tick. That's not to say I believe in that. It's only that I can't argue nor prove a negative.
As I keep saying, we, as humans, are a chicken fart in worlds history. We clocked off about 5 percent of the time dynosaurs walked the earth. And just as the dynosaurs we will dissapear at some point and planet earth will carry on as if nothing happened.
