He evolved through experiences and imaginations of human beings. And God is our inner mind which we try to make up and believe. And when we loose hope from him we are helpless and all alone. We are like lonely in this crowded world.

OK. I've scanned the rest, hope you'll find in this response the best. I respect the opinions of those believers who've attempted to ring in on this. All kudos aside, let's have a look at this.
It is a very good question, and in some ways the resolution is complex, and in other ways quite simple. There is a mistake people make with respect to trying to understand G-d. That is that they wish to make of Him something which is like what we see or feel around us. We believe that He needs to have the same attributes as one of us, which in effect attempts to reduce Him to our level or even to that of a dog or a rock. Well, that simply cannot be the case.
There is an apologetic which I've posted on the site linked below, and I call it systematic theology. Suffice to say, without going through all the rhetoric, there are rules which apply to the created system (computer, camera and etc) but those rules are not imposed back upon that which created it. G-d like the painter is outside His work of art and that work of art does not impose its' limitations on Him.
There are two individuals who bear a striking resemblance to me. In some cases there the similarity ends (one of them is a daughter). Each of my two offspring is like me in some ways but not in every case. We as human beings are spiritually like G-d, and He gave us certain features, but that doesn't mean that those rules apply to G-d.
We are (have been) bound up in the rules which G-d imposed on this creation and we attempt to think that those rules need apply outward (I realize that I'm restating things, but I'm attempting to clarify). This is mind boggling and I understand it fully. A pastor considered that what I had to say on the subject was to esoteric for him. Well, such is life.
One cannot put G-d into a box and expect Him to fit and we must, of necessity think, in these situations, outside the box. Only then can we comprehend Him, His greatness and His creation.

Man created God/Gods due to fear of the unknown...life, death, nature etc. Given science hasnt answered everything yet....we still feel need for an imaginery friend or overseer, someone to watch over us or stop us from ending humanity...not working all that well so far is it? BUt it helps parents keeps kiddies in line...trouble is we dont let go of that authority figure, like we tend to with Santa Claus when we become adults.
I'm not saying God or Gods dont exist but if they do...they'd be aliens...ie not from or of this world. BUT the church dont want to believe in aliens....so I cant fathom where they think angels, Gods, ghosts come from if not just in the minds of mankind. If the Gods did come down from above I think theyd all shite themselves and make a hasty retreat to nonbelievers and lets kill the alien mode. Fantasy is all very well...but a live God is a different matter.
We all made them/him/her up and we hope nothing concrete will come along to scare the bejeezus out of us. Our inner voices call out for a father figure to help.....from the highest pedestal possible...our inner strength.

The christian god evolved from the personal God of Abraham and his family to the God of his clan to the god who lived in a box in Solomons temple to the trinity to whatever he's supposed to be today so yeah evolution would be an apt description.

Man created God in order to explain things.

God is God. He just exist Himself...no evolution.
He created everything you see (physical world and things.) and also spiritual world (those you cannot see but just feel/sense) and also those microscopic things and telecopic things. Can you see the galaxies? Without God, do you know why & how He created the air you breath which you can`t see & don`t even know there is an air...that without it...you`ll die in 3-5 minutes
Isn`t He so magnificent? loving? generous?...and LOVING?

God is the Alpha and the Omega - the beginning and the end.
He did not evolve through evolution.

God is eternal, He has no beginning and no end.
Evolution is unproven voodoo science. It teaches that life evolves from other life forms, but how did that very first life form appear since there was no life before it, and life can't evolve from non-life? Give up? God created it.

jb,answering above
says,"God is the Alpha and the Omega - the beginning and the end."
and sooner or later an intelligent, thinking child poses
the same question
"who created God"?
The believer can only offer platitudes
in answer.

evolution is a great theory which makes alot of common sense, however it is flawed in many areas. especially in the proof. and it remains as mutch of a belief as religion.
according to most believers of the biblical god, he was and always is. basicly he is as old as time itself and no one created him.
