anthropomorphism is: the tendency to attribute human motivations, characteristics, or other attributes to non-human things (like weather, nature, etc.).

this idea comes from:

http://www.godlessgeeks.com/WhyAtheism.htm

where it says: ...we often anthropomorphize animals and even objects — giving them “human” qualities. The god concept can be seen as simply the result of people anthropomorphizing the universe. - Mark Thomas, Why Atheism?

Yes. Just as a baby learns to recognize human faces because it is exposed to them, so do deluded people who believe their make-believe "god" looks like them. Why else would there be such animosity at displays of "jeebus" as a swarthy semite rather than a caucasian (never mind the outright hate at depictions of "jeebus" as a black man)?

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the first time anywhere that a "religion" is not based on a pseudo-human form.

I recent to you excellent right here information from technological knowledge: one million) Universe had a starting up it really is calculated to be approx. 13.7 billions years in the past. that is going to also end even as all the flexibility interior the celebs and galaxies are spent. So it has a starting up and an end. it really is finite in nature and has a life span. God is eternal. So universe isn't God. 2) technological knowledge does not clarify each thing properly. Scientists have proposed 7 diverse motives for the beginning of the universe. they're (a) infinite/eternal universe (b) strong State (c) Oscillating (d) universe as an engine (e) Hartle-Hawking style (f) Quantum cosmolgy and (g) large Bang theory. The lone survivor of those is the great Bang theory even as all others were discredited. we do not recognize how lengthy large Bang theory shall proceed to be valid. Your expertise of the universe sharing somewhat some the attributes which describe God is genuine yet as observed out lower than aspect one million, universe isn't eternal. thanks on your question and your diagnosis.

No. The universe (as we experience it) is an anthropomorphism of God. Just kidding. Actually, anthropomorphism is the God of your universe. Squirrelpomorphism is the God of a squirrel's universe. And mosquitopomorphism is the God of a mosquito's universe. How human of you to ask.
