There’s no single agreed answer, and it depends on what you mean by “god” and what standards of evidence you accept.

Here are the main positions:

1. **Theism**  
   - Claim: One or more gods exist (e.g., in Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc.).  
   - Basis: Sacred texts, religious experiences, philosophical arguments (e.g., cosmological, teleological, moral arguments), traditions and communities.

2. **Atheism**  
   - Claim: There are no gods, or at least no good reasons to believe any exist.  
   - Basis: Lack of empirical evidence, naturalistic explanations for the universe and life, and problems like the existence of suffering.

3. **Agnosticism**  
   - Claim: It’s unknown or unknowable whether any god exists.  
   - Basis: Limits of human knowledge, ambiguity of evidence, and conflicting religious claims.

From a scientific and philosophical standpoint:

- **Science** can test claims about observable, measurable effects. It doesn’t currently provide evidence that requires a god to explain reality, but it also can’t definitively disprove all possible kinds of deity, especially ones defined to be outside space, time, or testable reality.
- **Philosophy** offers arguments both for and against. None are universally accepted; all are contested by smart people on each side.

So the honest answer is:

- It’s not something that can be conclusively settled by evidence we currently have.
- Different people, using different values and standards (faith, empiricism, tradition, personal experience), arrive at different conclusions.

If you’d like, tell me:
- How you were raised (religious, secular, mixed), and  
- What you find yourself leaning toward now,

and I can walk through how people with a similar background often think this through, and some arguments or questions that may be most relevant for you.
