Does anybody have any actual evidence that "God" even actually exists?
For example:
In the Hebrew Bible, the Hebrews claim that they and they alone are the chosen people of God. But, if God does not actually exist, exactly whom are they the chosen people of?
In the Roman Catholic Bible that the Roman Catholics put together, they claim that they and they alone speak for God. But, if God does not actually exist, exactly whom are they speaking for?
If I write my own Bible and claim that I am God, does that make it true? But, if God does not actually exist, exactly whom am I but myself?
Myself personally, I cannot prove that 'God' exists but neither can I prove that 'God' does not exist, so I keep my mind open concerning 'God' or "God's" existence.
An inquiring mind would like to know.

Excellent question. Here are some possible answers:
1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Maybe.
Now I will attempt to give a brief explanation of each.
1. Yes. I perceive my existence, so whatever I actually am, "I exist".
2. No.
a. If modern science is correct concerning that everything in existence came into existence from an expanding singularity, then, does anything at all even exist OR does only the singularity exist in the form of all things?
b. Possibly, 'if' 'God' exists, maybe all of existence is only occurring within "God's" consciousness. Do the characters in my dreams know that they are just characters in my dreams and can they even perceive my existence? If not, then how exactly do we know 'we' are not like that to 'God'?
3. Maybe.
a. It depends upon what actual 'absolute truth' reality actually is, 'absolute truth' reality being the 100% correct and 100% complete set of facts that no human has in totality, at least so it currently appears.
b. Maybe I even exist and not exist, depending upon context. (Kind of like a quantum state of existence).
But also, utilizing modern science, consider the following:
1. Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Hence, energy is either eternally existent or modern science is wrong.
2. Modern science claims that we have new cells that come into existence inside of our body on a daily basis. This appears to be true.
So, since I currently have a body with energy and cells in it:
A part of me is eternally existent and a part of me is being born anew on a daily basis.
My current body extends from eternity past until now.
Rising to a higher level of thought, the 'now' that I exist in is 'eternal'.
I am currently existing in the 'eternal now'.
I am currently an actual eternally consciously existent entity existing in the eternal now.
Continuing on:
"If" my latest TOE idea is correct, that what is called 'gravity' is actually a part of what is called the 'em' photon, and that the 'gem' photon is the energy unit that makes up everything in existence in this universe, then:
I am currently an actual eternally consciously existent being of light existing in a universe entire filled with and made up of light, all occurring within the eternal now.
In addition:
Since the 'gem' photon would make up space and time itself, then:
I am a very part of space and time itself.
Of course another possibility is that I am 'God' and nothing at all exists, not even you and this conversation. Everything in existence with the exception of myself is all just a figment of my imagination.
So, do you even exist for me to respond to, or am I just talking to myself?
