Do you believe in God? Why/Why not?

I do not believe in god. God is a creation of humans.

But in saying that... I look at ant's and wonder if they had brain capacity to talk, would they think we were gods. So do I think that in the vastness of space there could be something that could be considered god like... i.e we would be the ants and they would be the all powerful being... yes I believe that is possible, but that is still not god in the traditional sense.

It'd be very different from ants, though. Ants can see us. They can perceive us as all-powerful beings (we know that we are not, so the ants' assumptions would be based on ignorance), but they know for a fact that we exist.

Perhaps I should have used the term god like?

From a physical point of view, you are right perhaps.... but ants may not really be aware of us at all, who knows what they see. But I guess some religious people believe that they see god in things and in actions. Certainly the romans/greeks saw things happening was the physical manifestation of god. 

All getting a bit complex for my tiny brain. :)
