Is there a God?

No matter what amount of knowledge we posses, there's nothing we can do to completely exclude the possibility of a superior creature creating life. I'm going to try, though.
If there is a God, he had been created along with everything else after the Big Bang. Yes, or if you suggest the opposite, then how did someone create everything out of nothing, and how the hell this someone even existed when nothing else existed? Even if God is a force and not something constructed of chemical elements, he still has to somehow interact with the material in order to create things. You can guess where this is going. The Universe was not created by a God, because it is made of everything that is and will be. God, especially if some form of thinking creature, must be a part of the Universe. So, there it is - God was made during the Planck epoch, together with the first particles.
This makes God something like us. A part of the cold black cosmos. So he found a way to make elements heavier and thus, he made us. Found the perfect planet, put water on its red inhospitable surface, and boom! Oh wait a minute... He made a few billion creatures first that had nothing to do with us. He started with little organisms to see how that life thing would go. Apparently he wasn't very pleased, because he bombed the planet several times and killed most of its population. Then we appeared – another stage of evolution, probably not the highest... And we just had to find something to blame for our existence.
Every single society throughout the human history follows some form of religion. From hunters and gatherers to Wall Street brokers, people need something to unify them. Read sociology books on this subject, and you'll understand.
HOWEVER, there are several things that must be pointed out. Like the lack of answers to most of the big questions. What triggered the Big Bang? Is life following some sort of pattern or is it completely random - just several events that led to our appearance? Those are questions we won't be able to answer for a really long time. Or never. So... I'm not saying there is a God..., but there might be something. In fact, who knows, maybe there are infinite number of Universes and dimensions. How about that, ah? Does God seem big next to that?
