As I work in the afternoon on committing to paper some of my morning's thoughts, I find myself just about to close on the knotty question of whether or not I believe in God. In fact I am about to type, 'I do not believe in God', when the sky goes black as ink, there is a thunderclap and a huge crash of thunder and a downpour of epic proportions. I never do complete the sentence. Michael Palin
About This Quote

Is there a God? The question has plagued humankind for eons. The answer is probably never, but the question still remains. Many people have tried to find an answer to this question, but they have all run into the same problem. No one can prove that God exists or does not exist, so no one can really say if he or she believes in God or not.
