Depending on the answer, you could go with "Well, I don't think he exists, since I've seen no evidence for him. But don't take my word for it, always investigate things for yourself!"
OR
"No one really knows, honey (see, I'm being a kind parent here), I don't think he does, but others do. Perhaps we should speak more about this when you're a little older."
Also, I'm very interested in what response religious folks would give. I have my suspicions, but will keep them to myself for now.
If I had a five year old, i may say that I believe in God, but that I have never seen Him nor can I honestly say I have ever heard his voice. I would say that belief is different from reality and is sometimes not logical. But then again...would a five year old understand that??
