Supernatural form of higher power? No. Any form of higher power? Yes, of course.

If you mean the power of nature, for instance, yes. If you mean some bearded guy living on a cloud and sending down lightning bolts, no.

There are no "higher powers" I believe in that there is no evidence for.

So I'll post one question at a time and y'all can answer if you want however you want. So for starters, does anyone here believe in a supernatural higher power? Any form of higher power.

I believe in the God of the bible.

I don't believe in any specific supernatural higher power. I also do not know for certain if there is one.

Okay. So to those who said god of the bible, were you raised to believe this way?
To those who said higher powers but not a god, how would you describe the higher powers?
To those who don't believe in anything, do you feel there is a sense of purpose in your life? And I love the point that was made, I like the idea of admitting no knowledge. Many non believers like to ask for verification of his existence, but we cannot disprove it either.

Higher Power = anything you have to answer to in real life. This does exist, especially for someone like me who works for the military Tongue

No.

I did not really find God till I was in my late teens early twenties.
