Do you believe in God?

A few days ago my friend showed me a book that he is currently studying about, i don't quite remember the tittle but its about the stories and history of hindu.

I was quite shock that he is interesting in such thing, rather than games or celebrities, even though i knew that he is quite a boring guy, but i never think of a chinese to study something about the other religion. So we talk quite a bit of this and another friend of mine, who is a Indian join our conversation. When we were talking about something about God, my Indian friend asked me,"What do you think god is?" And without any hesitation i told him that god is actually something our ancestor created so that people have something to believe that they should do good thing, cause the God commanded it; at the same time, they should not do the bad thing cause God will punish them or get them into hell. That's what i think personally as a science student, cause i keep telling myself that these religion thing is just something not true, something human created and human believe in. And sometimes i think its kinda funny, cause human always believe that the God created them, while in fact they themselves created the God, that mean human created something to create them. But his answer turn up to be God is actually a picture human gave to the power of the universe, or cosmic power that human can't explain.

However, i found that most of the stories of the religion are quite interesting, and some of them have great wisdom behind. So i asked another Indian friend of mine, and i found out that there are a great connection between Buddha and Hindu.(In fact, Buddha originated from Hindu, and both are actually vegetarian) And as much as i found out, Taoism is very closely related to Buddha too. Indeed, most religion i knew is somehow connected from some stories. It seems like our ancestors had the same thinking. Isn't that amazing?

Today i start to realise that why do i care about these stuff? I'm a science student, a "science" student that study about the fact, not the myths. However, i seems like start to believe something i don't believe in.
