Some Humans create images of the God. Some of those Anthropomorphize the images in various art mediums, such as sketch, paint, scupture, writing, and song. In writing the use of metaphor facilitates the image.
Humans develop and are developing. There are a variety of lifeforms that have been present before Humans. Humans did not create these lifeforms. Humans are relative newcomers to this planet. Humans cannot create the leg of a fly. Humans do not know the Human body. Humans have only been able to speak through wires for a little over 100 years and through the air on radio waves under 100 years. They speak and still are enept at comminication.
They are dependent upon air, water, food, clothing, shelter, sleep, and anything on the planet.
They are the created. Created from an insignificant fluid, a clot of blood. Was taught to read and write. Yet Humans are Arrogant about their ignorance like children who know little of nothing and think that they know it all.
Humans are subject to loose perspective from something so trite as trauma to the head, chemical imbalance, or fever. Humans dream while sleep and some dream while awake.
Humans do not control which taste buds taste sweet, salt, sour or bitter. They can dream they have eaten a meal, made Love, or conquered a world. They could be in a coma and know it as reality.
Humans can cannot control the weather, the Universe is out of the question.Humans cannot control the condition or timing of their next bowel movement. How many times have you been suprised by what you thought was wind?
Did Humans Create The First and The Last? A more important question is whom will the Humans beg if all of the water drys up?

Let's assume that man created God. If this is true, then the only plausible explanation for the existence of men is that they evolved from a more primitive life form. This is the most probable situation, but it doesn't mean that is only one. Humans could have been dropped off by aliens thousands of years ago, and this is one big science experiment. But this is more speculative, and less rational, so we generally accept that evolution is the cause for man.
If man evolved, then at some point, man evolved the ability to reason, appreciate beauty, develop writing, develop justice and morals. In the process of developing these things, he came up with the idea of God. If naturalism is all that there is, then these concepts have no value outside the chemical processes that go on inside the brain. Such ideas are abstract ideas which means they have an intrinsic value outside the natural world in the mind of men. If they did not, then one could not make any type of judgment or conclusion that had any value. Take justice for instance. If I killed somebody, then all a naturalist could say is that it is a natural process, and could not convict me for a crime, because naturalism would say that killing is nothing more than a natural process. Humans don't act this way. If I kill somebody, then humans demand justice, so naturalism fails here.
Second, there are things in cells that could not have evolved from a more simple structure. One such thing is the whip flagellum that is found on some single celled organisms. If one part of the structure that composes the whip flagellum were to be removed, then it would not work. The probability of such structures just appearing in nature are like one in a google. There are not even that many stars in the universe. If something is that improbable, then it would seem likely that would be a more probable cause. theists would argue that God is a more probable cause for these things. It takes more faith to believe that humans evolved from simple organism to what we are today than it does to believe that God created humans. (This doesn't mean that evolution doesn't happen. That's another discussion for another question, but know the two are compatible.)
Third, if humans evolved, then ultimately they could be traced back to the origin for the universe. Many theorists claim that the universe exploded from nothing. They claim that the universe was infinitely dense and infinitely small. If this is true, then matter was created from nothing. The first law of thermodynamics says that matter cannot be created or destroyed, which would contradict this. Some say that the universe has always existed. If this were true, then the universe would have dissipated into heat an eternity ago, according to the second law of thermodynamics. Others speculate that the universe has been expanding and contracting forever. There is no way to prove or deny this deductive, inductively, or abductively, so it is purely speculation. Even if the last two theories were true, they don't offer an explanation for origin. Theists claim that God was the cause of the universe. Aristotle called him the "unmoved mover".
While none of these arguments offer deductive proof, they offer inductive arguments that seem to be more probable than competing theories. If one is rational, then he or she usually opts for the most probable arguments, and in the case of here it seems the most probable explanation is that God created man, rather than man creating God.

God created the Son. The Son was One with God - where no distinction could be seen. No form, no energy, no thought - just God and the Son as Love, eternal. The Son wondered if there was something outside of God. This resulted in the Son (only ONE thing) making the universe, the world, bodies, individuals, etc. and instilling in each of these illusory figures a belief that the illusion is real. Then these illusory characters, to protect the illusions of self and the universe, manufacture Gods that support this illusory thought system: this god judges, punishes, saves, rewards, etc. Meanwhile, the real God just IS and knows the Sonship in his form of Oneness, not aware of the illusion that has taken place. So, in a nutshell: God created the Son (which is a SINGLE thing). This Son made the universe/world and 'us' - we are this single, one thing but we think we're these individuals. We then make a god that supports this illusion.

Yes and Yes. In the beginning God created man. Over a period of 2000 years, man created God. And mans creation is a topic of much debate.

Everyone generally agrees these days that Man created God for various reasons. There are many reasons why man clings to the God myth, too many to list here. We may say that man needs God more than a God would need man.
