I don't pray to anything, ever. What you are describing is yet another false mysticism.

To be a god as most people define one includes worship , the good/bad idea, and some type of ritual. I do not see any of these things but I am very grateful of having been created. I try my best to enjoy the fruits of life. I can not conceive of an all powerful and perfect being creating some of the humans who have been born with terrible conditions nor can I accept the premise they suffer on earth to be with god for eternity.I have no desire to pray but I do wonder and enjoy the beauty of our universe and despise the terrible things greed does to our environment.

Life is a gift ,who from we don't know for sure,but we can thank whatever it was that did create us.Consciousness is worth having,yes there are ups and downs,but overall we 'd take these rather have not experienced life on the whole.

Life is what you make it.

Life is a cycle I’m, for the most part, glad to have had an opportunity to experience. In my own way, I’ve thanked my creators, my parents. And, it pleases them to know I’m content. Simple observation of non-sentient life, apparently enjoying its existence, leaves me to question, how do they ‘give thanks’ … leading to, then how and why should we?

It appears the more you learn about any subject, the less you have in common with others regarding the same. Thus, having paid attention to the processes of life, attempting to explain what you’ve learned in terms simple enough for those even willing to listen is often impossible. Those having replaced their curiosity with religion cannot come close to understanding the richness of life, no matter how hard they pray ~

I don't pray. Karma is BS.

Really short answer to a big question. No. The more science advances, the more it is impossible to ascribe anything but random chance to Quantum effects, and classic physics rules to macro effects. As with Napoleon's astromomer (not astrologer), "there is no need for that hypothesis". Rejoice, we are figuring it out.

The astophysicist Fred Hoyle suggested some type of 'God' or Supreme Intelligence in his book "The Intelligent Universe"
But Hoyle's 'God' certainly isn't a personal one.
