    Why is god necessary to explain "the simple things that happen(s) around you?" There are demonstrable scientific causes for many of the things that happen around us; gods, goddesses, and pixies aren't necessary for their explanation. Adding god to the mix is superfluous and adds additional complexity and additional assumptions where they aren't needed.

    Also, how do you know that only one god exists (and additionally, how do you know it's a 'he')?

    "Think about the ancient people, to us they appear to be fools with little knowledge about the world. A thousand years from now people will think about us the same way. The universal truth is that us humans don't know as much as we think we do. Our overconfidence often mislead our beliefs."

    Yes, ancient people believed in many silly things, including notions such as Zeus being responsible for thunder, and winter being the result of Persephone having to live with Pluto (Hades) during the winter months. Ancient people believed that gods are responsible for the many "simple things that happens," around them. They were wrong in believing that their gods were responsible for anything, what makes you so sure that your god is different? Humans might not know everything, but that doesn't make them "ignorant and arrogant," for not automatically believing in god, especially when (GASP) there's a lot of things that they don't know, including whether or not god *actually* exists!

    "The reason we sometimes doubt His existence is because we can't find any hard evidence. But at the same time we don't have a single evidence to prove that god doesn't exist.
    That is why it's a matter of belief, cause such a perfectly functioning systematic world and the miracle of life can not be just a coincidence."

    This is confusing. So there's no hard evidence that he exists ("Of course He exists. The fact that you deny his existence... you're both ignorant and arrogant.") and it's therefore just a matter of belief... because the world can't just be coincidental??? You just offered what is presumably "hard evidence," right there, but "it's a matter a belief???"
