it makes perfect sense. Man needed a way to explain the world back when we were primitive, but God's obsolete at this point in techonogical sophistication.

George Carlin has a book out called Man Created God - but I have heard it from other sources (Tom Robbins, Kurt Vonnegut, etc.).
Interestingly, of course people created many gods, and it has been said that gods only live as long and as strong as the belief in them (in Tom Robbins Jitterbug Perfume, most memorably) - though that still does not really answer the age old question of how did we get here and how this world was created.
We are no closer to actually knowing the Universal Truth with this line of thought - though perhaps we can see that trying to name it, label it or describe it is like an ant trying to determine the color of my eyes. A long and difficult journey, yet ultimately pointless - for once you have the information, you no longer need it.

The word ignorance, as used in the Qur’an, conveys quite a different meaning from its normally accepted connotations. In its common use, ignorant means illiterate, uneducated or having no manners. Ignorance in the Qur’anic sense, however, defines a state of mind in which a person is completely unaware of the purpose of his existence in this life, the attributes of his Creator and the information revealed in the Divine Book sent to him regarding his eternal life. The term, hence, refers to the state of unconsciousness and the particular way of living which is a mere consequence of this type of ignorance. Surely, lack of comprehension of one’s Creator, the world one lives in and the system surrounding one, is the most extreme form of ignorance. Nothing, neither the modern way of living a person adopts, nor the foreign languages he speaks, nor the shelves of books he reads or his good manners can compensate for this ignorance.

It means that we made God up. It is as easy as that.
