Whether you call it God, angels, spirits.. there are too many unexplained occurances to rule out a higher power. However, I don't see how I could prove or disprove this to you. These are just my personal thoughts..
***EDIT***
All Religion could easily by false.. complete bull.. but it's the feelings that it gives to it's followers that is important... if a person is that much happier because of their faith.. then more power to them.. I personally can't imagine having only one life, dying.. and then that's it.. that's the end. But what you believe is what you believe.. I say believe whatever (whether believing in a religion or just believing in yourself).. if it gives you strength/happiness or helps you to find a purpose in life.. then it's that much better for you..
If there are unexplained things out there (of which, frankly, there are few), it doesn't mean that we would never be able to explain them, and that we should stop trying, and instantly jump to the conclusion that it must have been a "higher power" and not some natural process which created them. To do that... is just reckless and immature IMHO.
