Kant "Theological"
Kant does seem to believe in a higher power. He creates this third transcendental idea called the Theological idea, which he finds the most important idea. He believes that with "pure reason" you can believe in a perfect being. He said that this definitely did not start by experience. He believes that it starts with an idea. I would have to agree. There is not particular way to know if God really exists, because we cannot just ask him (obviously). Anyways he thinks you start off with making an hypothesis. I know that I believe in God because I was brought up to believe in him, but I wouldn't dare to ask questions or experiment. I actually find it comforting believing that there is a higher, more perfect power to look up to and pray to.
