I am guessing because god is much shorter and easier to spell that YHWH.

What evidence for God

It's because you're not supposed to delete/erase/destroy/whatever the word "god", you're supposed to show it respect for some strange reason, so they get around that by spelling g-d, so they can edit their posts without making him cry and raining hell-fire upon them.
But as we all know, Er-k Cl-pton is god.

I just started reading this thread and this is as far as I got, so if I miss something that's already been discussed, please excuse me.
I will get to it.
Now.........
Will you take a good look at what you wrote above?
You used the same word, "created," twice which says the same thing both times.
Tell me - What is the alternative to creation?

1. Randomly Created
2. Created by some diety or some powerful sentient force.
3. Never being created at all. (i.e. ever existing.)
I think the last one is most plausible, myself.

No! I am Spartac--Oh wait, did you say "evidence?" Well in that case I'm not evidence for any god.

#1 Now,, can you argue that man has not been creating man and women gods and spirits for the last 200,000 years???
#2 Can you show me a remote tribe who does not have made up spirits or gods in any part of the world???
#3 Can you show me any parallels in these remote tribes that would indicate that there god is also your god talking to them in the local language and thus the god figure is sharing the same information with all people????
#4 Can you show me that your hebrew god figure does not have any simularity's with previous pagan religions such as sumerians and egpytions???
#5 The ancient hebrews put more importance on male's then females, does this show in their early writings regarding the creation of the god figure as a male????
#6 Do you think all other gods and spirits are made up by the local people of that particular geographic region?

All that going for you and no place for God?
(actually...He would be the cause behind the big bang.)

God = Anything that is worshiped can be termed a god, inasmuch as the worshiper attributes to it might greater than his own and venerates it.
(Insight vol 1 p. 968 )
Didn't expect that - did you?
Can we talk now?

I know not about him, but your definition is not the east bit surprising.
I mean think about it.
What meaningful or useful purpose is served by defining god as anything and or everything?
