I don’t know—and no one can prove it conclusively either way in a way that convinces everyone.

Whether there is a god depends on what you mean by “god” and what kind of evidence or reasoning you find persuasive:

- **Theists** believe God exists, often based on religious experience, scripture, philosophical arguments, or the apparent order and meaning in the universe.
- **Atheists** do not believe in God, often because they find the evidence insufficient or see natural explanations as enough.
- **Agnostics** think the answer is unknown or perhaps unknowable.

Philosophically, there are serious arguments on both sides—cosmological arguments, moral arguments, arguments from consciousness, arguments from evil, divine hiddenness, and more.

So the most honest answer is: **it remains an open question, and your answer may depend on reason, experience, faith, and what you count as evidence.**
