So no, I don't believe in God.
In addition to what Dragon said, this sounds like you're confusing belief with science. God may very well be used to explain the unexplainable, but that's not the purpose of belief. The purpose of belief is to provide a moral compass, giving guidance to help people react properly to the world around them. Belief explains "why", science explains "how."
