Was god know to mankind since the development of language? (Critical Thinking)
God existed even before the existent of time, so let is not debate about this question, save it for the PH.D philosophy or astrophysics ^_^ The following point of views about the existent of god and religion and science may be interesting or ridiculous, who know? You read it and decide yourself ^_^ but it sure will benefit you. ^_^ (I can’t post the this document in 1 page so I have to use “Add detail” to post the whole document.)
Do you believe in evolution? If yes then continue reading.
Do you believe in the cave man? If no then discontinue reading.
There are million of books, statues, materials that related to God. Correct?
There are billion of people believe in God. Correct?
There are million of people that have fought and sacrifice to protect their own god? Correct?
The cave-man had never ever understood any of the statement above. Correct?

So, which mean that the three statements above never exist during the cave-man time? Correct? Which mean that religion, books etc... do not exist at the time.
So, God only got popular or know to mankind since the beginning of the development of language. Correct?
So, can we live without god and religion?
The answer is yes! Correct? Because human didn't go extinct and they were able to live happily until the development of language.
If science didn’t explain things to us then human will just use the word God as an explanation to everything that they couldn’t explain. Correct?
Why not think of religion as a source of knowledge rather then God?

Religion and Science both are evil and good, why? It is because science created weapons eg. E=MC² that someday may bring us to a history. Religion wrote quotes that will bind our soul to God. (Once, you are in religion, you are in religion for the rest of your life no matter where you go.) (We are in religion since we were embryo) So, why don’t we learn their good things and use them to improve our world or continue to research or explore the universe? We can also learn their bad things as knowledge to compare to the good things. If bad do not exist then good will not exist either, vice versa. (Everything in life has its opposite existent eg. beauty and ugly, ignorant and knowledge) If most people are ignorant in the undeveloped countries then will they understand what the meaning of knowledge is? It is because they couldn’t access to library, internet, school, books, etc… where do they get their knowledge from? From their friends or family member?

What is the different of knowledge between their friends and their family members? If they are all living in the same village or city, think about it!
If fire created from god, so is disease. Correct?
If love created from god, so is hatred. Correct?
If God do not have to follow the law of universe then why don’t he created a better world for us?
Why did god create human to kill human? Why did god create animals to eat animals? Why did god create the 7 sins to let human suffer?
My final conclusion is that if he/she is silent then why do we have to talk? Why do we have to believe in him/her?
Are you going to be happily or willingly to accept someone’s statements like these here, god is infinite, god gives us freewill, god is silent, god create the universe etc… this is no different as travel back in time and give the cave man a lighter to create fire then they will make a statue of modern human as their god. ^_^

I am not interested telling people what I have learned, but I can tell you one thing is that I love to read and I am current a college student.
The following is my answer to clcalifornia and Mike Freeway:
Cave man is just an example for comparison purpose only, for example, stupid cave man and intelligent modern human. A cave man can mean the time when human didn’t even know how to use weapon to hunt or just knew how to use bone to hunt etc… If you like you can go back to the time when we walk with our back facing the sky like animals ^_^

Well god is god, it doesn’t matter Chinese Buddha, Hindu Buddha, Muslim, Christian etc… because they all share similar stories, God created this and that, heaven and hell, spirit, soul, the most powerful, magical, energy etc… Religion and god is strongly bonded together, or you can say that they are the same thing; but the appropriate way to think that religion is different from god is that whoever thinks of religion as a source of knowledge or a school rather then god, as I mentioned above. Religion has really good knowledge that bring happy to human to our society, family etc… and to keep the human continue in their evolution so they don’t kill each other and go extinct and to avoid global warming and many more…

I already read the book “A Briefer History of Time” and “Universe in a Nutshell” which mean that I already understand about the equation E=MC² and science is just like a tool, bad or good is depending on the person who use them. I said that E=MC² is bad is because it has a potential to wipe us out; it is also good if we use it to do research or for engineer to develop time machine that can travel faster than the speed of light etc…
In addition: I though of a really logical answer to the question “What created the big bang? Or what is behind the universe rather than involve the word god.” (Will be on my next post)

Too much verbosity ! !
I am sure that a belief in supernatural powers were part of the human psyche before language. but once language was sufficiently developed, people could exchange ideas.

Almost correct; for we can never know that any caveman
understood what you said.
And since the development of language, we (or rather some
of us) can describe the existence of god immeasurebly;
and in greater and greater detail.
But still Not exhaust all our words and phrases.
Thus, the caveman and us should not worry too much; our
knowledge-of-god and our language will increase, along
with our prehistoric knowledge and all.
We can get better and we can know more; as about man's
origin and as about man's end or aim.

Krishna also known as God is the source of everything and of all His other incarnations. He has existed eternally as have we all. We are not these bodies, ie; race, color, nationality, religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. All knowledge Abbot God is available for everyone at all times but it is a matter of spiritual evolution (not bodily as Darwin speculated) and when one is ready they will get the Absolute Truth. Which is Krishna who never not existed which is beyond the material mind to comprehend. That knowledge is transcendental. Read Bhagavad Gita as it is by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada for more details.

God was a figment of someones mind. Early humans did not understand how or why so the devised answers to life's question and the easiest, logical answer to how and why was to determine that some great supper person created it all. It was easier for early humans to take control of their fellow not so fortunate humans in this manner and that is ex actually how religion came into the picture.
