But belief does not guarantee entry, nor is God necessarily tied to notions of "Heaven" or "Hell." Statistically, these Christian spheres of punishment and reward are in the minority of global religious thought.

But to answer the question: I don't believe in a humanized entity. I don't think there's an over-arching identity that created the cosmos. I believe the universe is the result of an opposing reaction to void.

That is not to say that we couldn't have creatures whose science, and understanding of the mind, transcend the limited sensory organs and higher brain fuctions of Man. Like Arthur C. Clarke once said, anthing sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic. A species could eventually make itself god-like, and perhaps it already has. In a world that prompts more questions than it answers, we could have been created by this superpowerful race, then monitored. Or forgotten. Or monitored for a while, then forgotten.

That's a long way of saying that I think the popularly accepted notion of God is simplistic and absolute. I find the notion of a transcended species to be much more interesting.
