Some people "know" God is real just like people "know" George Washington was the first president... Neither of us can prove either thing w/o looking to other people's accounts. Even then, how many people walking the earth today got to see George Washington with thier own eyes, and had a conversation with him?

In a way there is no proof except in books that others wrote.

What do you accept as proof?

Mathematics is the only thing certain in this world, as is our very existance, anything and everything else we believe you chose to believe. Even more so for things that aren't documented history in our own lives.

It all depends on the person. If you want to approach the bible as some ficticious book when you read it, you won't believe it... not because it isn't true, it's because you don't believe it. Same goes for any other religious book... or any book for that matter.

That's everything right there.

If you fail to see how anything ends, how do you explain how the people and animals that are dying everyday?

no no no, you said that because the elements in our universe are "finite" that they couldn't have been there forever unlike god. And I replied saying that the elements are as infinite as your god is. So the godless theory is as good as yours in terms of infinity.
