I do think about it but I have not found any evidence that such a thing exists. . . but in all fairness I have only been around for 17 years  so . . . it is possible I suppose  I just find it unlikely. . .

I believe in God of course, and a lot of people ask for proof of God....we need to remember tha PROOF NEGATES FAITH.

I believe in something higher but I do not run my life over it. I am pretty liberal and open minded about the whole thing seeing as how there is no way to really know for sure. I don't believe in hell and the devil though. I think that kind of stuff was just invented to scare people into devoting their life to God.

I believe in Sanatana dharma or eternal religion.

I believe in something higher and a super power. I am pretty liberal and open minded about the whole thing seeing as how there is no way to really know for sure. I don't believe in hell and the hell though.

No, I don't believe in God or any type of higher power.
The idea of an higher power is just so  unnecessary   The world can run without one.

To truly state if I believe in a higher power, I must lay out what all the words mean.

To believe: What does this mean? I can know something without believing it, and I can believe things that I do not  know. I shall define believing in something as a predisposition towards holding an opinion that something is, was, or will be/come about.

Higher: This is a null comparative. It is not stated what the power is higher than. It could be assumed that the subjects of comparison are humanity and the aforementioned "power", though this is not explicitly stated. It may mean higher than anything, in which case it would be the highest power. I will choose to assume that higher, in this case, means higher than humanity (however, humanity being what it is, this isn't saying much).

Power: How does one define a power? This is far beyond the scope of my knowledge. I prefer to define a power as the number of times another number is multiplied by itself.

Mashing all three of these definitions together, I have the question in my grasp.

Am I predisposed to hold an opinion that there is an exponant higher than humanity's own exponant?

I cannot answer this question, since I do not know the value of humanities own exponant. If it is a value, then my answer would be yes, I believe there is an exponant with a larger value than humanity's value. If humanity's exponant has an undefined value as things so often do in mathematics, then higher is irrelevant, and the question becomes undefined. If humanity's exponant is infinite, then my answer would be no, I do not believe in a higher power than an infinite one. Equal, yes, but not higher.

This, my friends, sets the standard length and degree of thought to be put in to all future responses to this thread.
