I believe in God....A christian god....an all knowing omnipotent god... for many reasons of which the following are two......
One is the theory of the uncaused cause.........or "Theos" to the ancient philosophers....Before the first cause (or event) there was some thing that caused the first cause. (is that circular enough?) Before existence something existed......
Secondly there is the paradox of belief....If you believe in god and there is no god you sacrafice little but, if you don't believe in god and god exists you sacrafice your eternal soul. From the first example you can see that waiting for the last cause could be a very long time.
Knowing the unknowable seems like the ultimate attempt at futility.....Imagine a circle that represents the whole of human intelligence....The larger the circle the larger the border of the unknown becomes.....soon no man can know all there is to know...soon after that all mankind cannot know all there is to know.........
Good luck trying :-)
