Do you believe in God?

In advance, this paper is neither about God nor about his existence. I prefer to stay away from divine-related discussion, as belief in God is a personal issue.

However, I'm sure that whatever people can’t explain they put outside of human competency and ascribe it mystical attributes or halo of divinity. A good sample of this is lighting. Before Benjamin Franklin proved its electrical nature, it was thought to be a sign of God’s wrath. People often prefer myths, especially if those myths can compensate for their own lack of knowledge.
