Which best describes you: Theist: "I know for sure that god(s) exists." Agnostic Theist: "I believe in god(s), but can never be sure of their existence." Atheist: "I know for sure that god(s) does/do not exist." Agnostic Atheist: "I do not believe in god(s), but can never be sure of their existence." Weak Agnostic: "I do not know if god(s) exist."

In my brain god doesn't exist at all, BUT I totally understand why people do believe, and I like that people have a variety in beliefs.

Technically, this poll has nothing to do with religion.

I believe that God is a figment of my imagination, an invisible friend, who I never actually interact with.  He's just there, along with Loki, Hepheastus, Ishtar, etc.  They are interpretations of storybook characters in the universe that is me.

I dont have a philosophical stance on higher power. I have a theosophical stance and a theological stance. Besides philosophy has nothing to do with a supernal form.

Point taken, but the concept of agnosticism -- whether or not it is possible to know for certain if god exists -- is certainly related to philosophical epistemology.

Please, do tell.

My philosophical stance on this situation is me wondering why would a God create something to have it worship the creator? Why create something with free will then set boundries (If one or more do exist.....I really think they'd have much more to do than regulate humanity...unless their sole purpose is to regulate us. That makes me assume that something(s) created them/it. i.e. Hierarchy.)?

Many questions arise from this question. I guess my main question about higher powers, or deity(ies), is ''how are some people able to detect or even understand them and tell the rest of us?''

Science does a good job at explaining most things, but Astronomy in particular, science begins to break down at a certain point and some things can't be explained...

Are you really trying to say that the science of Astronomy breaks down at a point? Astronomy is almost purely observational science. There is a little bit of theoretical work concerning how certain things in space work (but that's usually dealt with by astrophysicists and cosmologists), but pretty much everything else that pertains to Astronomy can't really be disputed because its not much more than a collection of observations.
