Question

Stupid questions series number 19

I WANT ONLY INTELLIGENT BELIEVERS TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION :)

Answer 1

Ancient humans created gods to explain things in nature they did not understand. So you get Moon & Sun gods and the like. After mankind began cultivating the land and staying in one place, the powers that be came to realize that gods and their venagnce or promises of a better life, were a great way to keep the populace in line without the need of a standing army or polce force. After some more eons some people felt it would better suit their needs to consolidate all of the gods into the One god. This made it easier for donations, money and sacrifices to go into one big pot the upper eschelons of society could plunder for their own good. So now you have Monotheism. Now you start to see off shoots of this God, tailor made for each cultural groups needs and social mores. That leave us today with God or Allah or Yaweh. Wonder what the next eons will bring us. With the leaps in science and medical technology, current extremism associated with religion and terrorism, there is already a decline in those who believe in god. Maybe your question should be "Will God exist in the next millenium"

Answer 2

Presumably you will accept the input of a believer who is not a Christian believer, but a believer in God nonetheless. You have made so many conditions, it's hard to know what you are up to, especially with that "stupid questions series number 19" shtick.

Anyway, logically, God is self-created. That is, if those who think of God as eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, etc., are correct, then "In the beginning there was God" is a logically and necessarily true statement.

However, I did preface that with "IF," didn't I? Now, perhaps it is not the way such people say. Perhaps the entity to which we typically refer with the name God is not the universally biggest and most all-encompassing of all existing entities. Perhaps, for example, Yahweh is but a local God to this planet or to this solar system, and there are larger and more potent entities beyond Him, to which He is but a part. If so, then we will need a bigger word, or we will need to adjust our concept of where that word gets applied once we travel into space beyond our own solar system and see things from a vastly different perspective.

Answer 3

No 1.

Answer 4

Not sure I meet your criteria for responding ... but wanted to share a thought on the topic ...

If you are a Christian believer, you accept as an article of faith that God has always existed and was not created. If you think about it, that is no bigger leap of faith than accepting the signularity that existed a fraction of a second before the 'big bang'.

Both science and Christianity can take their respective 'scenarios' back to a certain point beyond which a rational and scientifically provable answer is not possible in our current state.

Answer 5

God created everything, including time. So, before time existed, there was nothing (in human logic). So God created Himself, in a way. When He created time, He was there all of a sudden. We humans could never understand the true, deep answer to your question, but the answer I gave is as close as we're going to get. God created Himself.

Answer 6

you know, good luck finding a person to know the answer to that one... God created humans after all, and i don't think there was ever a time before God... because GOd can do the unimaginable... and we humans are so stupid and can't even compare to his work, nothing created God because God was already there!!!! its hard to believe, but give me a better answer... and some question can't be answered, but isn't believing better than not believing? okay, how about this... wouldn't it be better to believe in a God and find out that there isn't one, than to not believe in a God and find out there is one.... how much more meaning would you get out of life? how much happier would you be? i know which one i'd rather be, but its up to you to make that choice, just believe, and miracles will happen, maybe you won't notice, but they do happen, God bless you!!!

Answer 7

Descartes stated "Cogito ergo sum" I think, therefore I am, in the 1600's. Thus, philosophy finally knew we were real.

In 2006, it was confirmed that our existance is impossible without a creator, thus a God must exist. That is all we can know. God exists. Who he is or other attributes are issues of faith. We will never know how God was created until he tells us. That is a pure and simple fact.

Answer 8

Hebrew God told Abraham I Am that I Am . it was "Ego Hayah Ego Hayah"
Meaning" I Exist Self Exist, This is why the word Jehovah was used in Old Testament it ment Self Exist.
Not stupid enough a lot of people do not know that little thing.

Answer 9

The writers of the bible did...so i guess you can say that man created God....If you think about it mankind has always had Gods or a God to represent the things they don't understand. For example the greeks had the gods of mythology..but during thier time they were are real as the god of Christianity or The God of Islam is today...Before that the Aztecs had gods...the Egyptians had gods...They had them for thousands and thousands of years....way before the god of Christianity of Anything else comes along...Its just our way of explaining what we don't know or don't understand.

Answer 10

Cro Magnon man was the first to worship a human like deity,as evidenced from Goddess artifacts that have been excavated and dated to around 25,000 b.c.e,the Sumerians were the first to worship a male deity and actually write about it(7000 b.c.e.), but the Jews were the first to worship God as the current monotheist deity(aproximately 1800 b.c.e.).
