This is the Classic question for the ages. For me the answer is simple. I have absolutely no doubt that God even exists. I could stop right here and go on since this answers the question of this post. But to do so defeats the purpose of this blog, doesn't it? So here we go.
There are several classical arguments for the existence of God. There is no way I can do justice to all of them on this blog, to even attempt to would probably take up the memory space of the server that stores this blog (the IT guy in me is showing) so I will use some of the more common one that I tend to use.
I have already used one of my favorite arguments for the existence of God here and here, This is the nature argument. The grandeur and majesty of Nature, even in its fallen state, proclaims with a loud voice the existence of a creator. The Psalms put it beautifully in Psalm 19:1. A lowly single cell organism is vastly more complex that the most modern of computers and yet the computer was created by an intelligent being, so to was the single cell organism.
The other argument is that of Human nature. Man was created with a desire for God. This is proven by the fact that every single Human Culture (even the Neanderthals who where a separate Human Species) has developed a religious system. The fact that there are many religions is due to original sin. Prior to the fall of man there was a belief in one God. After the Fall many religions systems developed. God then began a slow and deliberate process of revealing himself to man through a process of covenants. (it is this process that is depicted in scripture) It was not until the 20th century that a whole human made system developed from the outset as atheist and that is Marxism. Indeed the belief on the spiritual is so ingrained in the human nature that an Atheist must talk himself into that Atheistic mindset, or talk himself out away from believing in God, and in the process argue against his or her very nature to get to that point. No one is born not believing. Put a Child in a deserted Island and he will grow up believing in something higher than himself. Put that same child in Harvard and the outcome might be entirely different.
There is a reason why most Atheists come from academic and educated settings and that is that with Knowledge comes the great potential for arrogance. The belief that human achievement is the pinnacle of achievement. It is also true that many highly intelligent people will go though the same process of education and be humbled by the majesty of Creation and by how little of it we really understand. I will put the intellect of a G.K. Chesterton, St. Thomas Aquinas or Even Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI against any Atheist Intellectual, modern or historical.
