I tried looking all around us, I didnt see God. Where should I look? Is it like Hide And Seek?

Answer:
Why in the world would you just lie to your son like that? God isn't fake. He's right here. with us. Always. even though sometimes it doesn't seem like it, he is.

Who else created this world?
evolution just doesn't make sense.
if evolution was real, then we would have come from PLANTS and plants work very very differntly than we do. They get food off of photosynitis and we eat. They dont even have blood! and dont tell me that it "evolved" because what could it evole from? all the animals out there-- yes, even the ape. Our intelligence level is really high, we have emotions, we make amazing things, we are very different! And if you deny this, you may just be lying to yourself. We are WAYY to complex to just come from...nothing. In the sum of it all there HAS to be a higher power, someone who created us. And if you look around, science proves it! Albert Einstien became more of a christian because he studied science, and figured out how everything worked. but in the end its your decision.
your choice-not mine.

Belief in a higher power is another thing but that power is no different that a force like gravity unless you believe in aliens seeding our planet.

Just send his ass to college and have him take some philosophy classes.

Also, the burden of proof rests upon the person making the claim. There's no need for someone to "disprove" God unless you can provide evidence to support your claim.

Don't get me wrong - I'm sure people get by just fine without going deep into the whole God/No God debate. If you want to believe that someone's looking over you, be my guest. Just don't start blowing people up and stuff, then it gets bad.
