XDDDD. Okey, I get what you're saying. But the examples you say were concepts made by humans to explain irrationally the nature (okey, except Santa, but we already know SPOILER FOR BELIEVERS who gives us the presents). So I have a hard time believing them and I find more likely the existance of a "god" as natural force which keep things balances and mantain the order. The concept of an interventionist god, male, female, a kind deity... Are kinda ridiculous and irrational. But, funny thing, their existance can't be discarted 100%, so we can't say that they don't existe for sure, even if I have a hard time believing them.

Answering the OP, the only possible, sustained and rational answer is no.

In what way is the concept of god not a human invention to explain irrationality in nature? :)

This is kind of what I am getting at; the only possible answer to the question in the OP is "No" since we don´t even have a common definition of "God" and therefore it does not exist unless we have a unified definition. When I mention Zeus or Odin, Shiva or The World Tree, all are some type of God for some people, at different times in history and in different places. People don´t even seem to talk about the biblical God but some kind of personal spiritual entity or the one that kicked of the BigBang.

Therefore it is safe to conclude that the term "god" is only our way to explain the unknown, the extraordinary, things we have yet to comprehend or can explain through scientific methodology. And in that case, God is precisely as real as Santa, and that is ok.
