Still and all, I believe that the "existence of God" or non-existence is something we puny humans will not ever be able to prove.

I guess that's why they call it faith.

Strangely enough, one of the paths that led me to believe that there is a God is reading Contact by Carl Sagan, and visiting Alaska.

My favorite reason - #483 (Argument from Legolas). Amen, sistah!
