It is not really a belief as much as it is an acceptance of facts. Even then, it varies between person and the extent to which they believe a "God" had an impact in the presence of existence. Those who attest that all that is in existence came about through natural processes and that there is no god are referred to as atheists. Those who believe in a god are theists. There are many variations of belief even within theists. Some believe that there was a god that had a hand in creating the universe but that life (and therefore man) came about naturally. Others believe that a god created both the universe and life (including man). The creation of man by a god is called intelligent design. Many theists believe that this is the truth and that "God" determines all that happens.
I know this is not a debate, but if you dont mind, I am going to express my own view (which is likely already apparent). Life is a beautiful and amazing thing. It should be treasured and valued. Though the existence of life, and to a greater extent the universe as a whole, is a magnificent thing, it did not have to all be designed by some all powerful creator. Just because we want fathomable explanation as to how we got here, we have gone off making things up, trying explain what we do not understand. As we become more advanced, it is likely that people will begin to realize that our need to believe in some great being is simply obsolete. The presence of "God" is an awe inspiring thought has done away with the need for facts by introducing the concept of simply having "faith" in the matter. Religion is self perpetuating and flawed.
I apologize for the unnecessary length of this response and my veering of topic, but perhaps I have talked some sense into some people.
I leave you with a quote:
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent. Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call Him God?"
-Epicurus (c. 341 - c. 270 BC)
People who don't believe in God are called Atheists. People who are open to the concept of God but arent convinced by the arguments from religious schoclars are called Agnostics.
In different religions and belief systems, the concept of God's origin varies. Some believe God has always existed, while others believe God was created by a higher power. Ultimately, the origin of God is a complex and deeply philosophical question that varies depending on one's faith and beliefs.
Christians believe in the existence of angels as spiritual beings created by God to serve Him and carry out His will. Angels are believed to be messengers and protectors, and can be seen as intermediaries between God and humans. Christians also believe that angels play a role in spiritual warfare and are ever present in the lives of believers.
Belief in god or gods in general is called theism. Belief in one God and only one God is called monotheism. Belief in many gods is called polytheism.
The term "atheist" refers to a person who does not believe in the existence of gods or deities. Atheists typically rely on reason, science, and empirical evidence to form their beliefs about the world.
If you believe in God and you believe that God created everything, then sure. If you believe in science, then a black hole is created when a massive star collapses and a black hole is formed. [See related question]
Reform (insert religion name here)
No, because if you believe in God. Then you believe that He was the ONE who created all things. But now if you believe in science whatsoever, then you only believe things that you've either heard or have seen from other people. So to answer your question, science has not killed God. Its just that since people cannot see God, and or feel his presence, it is that, that has seem to what make people believe that God "didn't" create the world.
No one knows exactly because most American Christians believe that God created our universe, but Science describes how God did it. Creationists believe that God used supernatural magic, not Science to create the Earth.
There is no God versus science, they are married at the deepest level. God created everything. Science is just the tool that we use to figure out the method God used to create. The majority of scientists believe in God by the proofs they've seen in creation.
Science does not make any definitive conclusion about God.
Jews believe in One God, who created the universe. He is omnipotent. The words "What Jewish god" (in the question) are inapplicable, since we don't believe in "gods."
Science relies on the laws of physics. Faith and religion have no bearing on the laws of physics, unless you believe God created the laws of physics. While you can believe in God and be a scientist, it's hard to believe in the Big Bang theory and Creationism, too. And, modern physics now believes that God had no part in the Big Bang. That said, God and faith can still play a large part in our lives, just not when it comes to science.
This depends entirely on what you believe about God. Most people who believe in God, believe that God created everything. Since being gay is part of nature, and not a choice, then it follows if you believe God created everything, then you must believe God created gay people.

Hindus believe that God had created the world. I too believe that God created the world but I have my own theory. God’s powers are immeasurable and unimaginable. He didn’t want to stay idle with all of his powers. He had created many planets and at last he had got the idea of creating the earth. Those planets are empty while earth rotates filled with many kinds of creatures. After creating the human beings, God might have thought that he had entangled himself in a great responsibility. He had created spirits too for various purposes. He is creating new spirits even now. The possession of these spirits cause new developments on this earth. The center of gravity is not natural but unnatural. The light, air, water and everything you see on this earth including creatures are unnatural. The entire solar system is under a law created by a supreme being. Law and order didn't come from nothing. God had created the center of gravity of the earth. If God removes it, everything you see on this earth will fly high to the sky. I guess God's character is somewhat different from what religions usually think. God's involvement in humans' personal affairs is very rare. God is responsible for what he had created on this earth and human beings are responsible for what they have created on this earth. The religions' teachings and preachings might have made people to think about God in a different angle. They must learn to think about him in a right angle. The relationship between God and human beings is just like a relationship between a scientist and his robots. Humans must think scientifically too. If God wants to do everything himself then why must he create medicinal herbs, plants and science for physical health and moral and discipline for mental health of human kind. Human beings must know the ways to rule themselves on this earth. He is always ready to grant intelligence and all that human beings need. He is always creating new spirits on this earth and make new developments on this earth. God can determine the life of the human beings but he never does it. Only spirits determine the life of the human beings from their (humans') daily activities, talks and thoughts too. God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God's direct intervention in individuals' affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. God is a mystery even to the spirits. Spirits are not eternal beings but their lifetime is long. Spirits are separate elements. A human being during his/her lifetime is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, instincts, interests and everything. Further there will be always some spirits with you on behalf of your parents, friends, relatives and Gods you believe. Only these spirits make you remember them in a certain situations. All of these spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A mind is a group/formation of many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. A mind is just like a computer's mind. After the computer is completely destroyed you will not get its mind. The same is the case with the human beings. A brain is a device used by the spirits to control the body and mind. (A senior spirit or a chief can control other spirits) A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. Soul is an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.
