A definite maybe. While a god might exist, I rather doubt that it's the sort of god that any particular religion imagined.

Do I believe in some personified being that sits atop the universe and watches down on us? No. That's not my definition of God.
I believe that God is a concept - the concept of true goodness. The be in the kingdom of God (heaven) is to be a good person who tries to do the right things.
People say "Prove to me that there is a God!"
It's not something that can be proved. You can't prove a concept - it's just an idea or a belief system.
The bible wasn't meant to be a rulebook or a look into the future - it was just a general set of guidelines on how people can work on being good. Don't steal - it's not nice. Same with murdering and lying. Be generous; don't focus on material possessions. That's what means to be good.

There's nothing for, yet nothing against.

Barring proof to the contrary, I'm going with no.

Maybe.
There is no solid proof or argument to prove the existence of a god, nor is there solid proof or argument to prove a god does not exist.

To those commenting on the "no evidence against".. does that mean that if I inform you there is an invisible tea kettle orbiting the moon, you believe me?
There is, after all, no evidence to the contrary.

There is, after all, no evidence to the contrary. I wouldn't believe it, but I wouldn't be able to say you were wrong...I'd only be able to say that it was highly unlikely.
