[The following poll is indeed interesting. One can debate spiritual questions ad infinitum. I have always had a deep fascination with things spiritual, especially life after death and prophecy. I have always felt that ultimately science must lead to the discovery of God and Life after Death. In my mind it has to. Deep inside science lie the laws of God – that’s my view. God, and God’s mechanisms must indeed be an integral part of physics – but deeply hidden – at the atomic levels or lower. It is my belief that Physics and God are one and the same thing but that there are aspects to physics and chemistry which scientists have not yet discovered and might not yet discover, perhaps even for thousands of years. But one day, I think, we will find the mathematics that leads directly to God. In my view, if God is discovered in a manner in which we can understand, then you will find that it will probably be a Mathematician who first identifies aspects of God in a logical manner.

I’ve often told the story about Leonard Euler, the greatest mathematician of all time and his belief in God. Jan]

Nearly half of Americans are not sure God exists, according to a poll that also found divisions among the public on whether God is male or female or whether God has a human form and has control over events.
The survey conducted by Harris Poll found that 42 percent of US adults are not “absolutely certain” there is a God compared to 34 percent who felt that way when asked the same question three years ago.

Among the various religious groups, 76 percent of Protestants, 64 percent of Catholics and 30 percent of Jews said they are “absolutely certain” there is a God while 93 percent of Christians who describe themselves as “Born Again” feel certain God exists.

When questioned on whether God is male or female, 36 percent of respondents said they think God is male, 37 percent said neither male nor female and 10 percent said “both male and female.”

Only one percent think of God as a female, according to the poll.

Asked whether God has a human form, 41 percent said they think of God as “a spirit or power than can take on human form but is not inherently human.”

As to whether God controls events on Earth, 29 percent believe that to be the case while 44 percent said God “observes but does not control what happens on Earth”.

The survey was conducted online between October 4 and 10 among 2,010 US adults.
