Probably the first person to recognize the shabby portrait that most people paint of the Invisible Essence that brought and brings the universe into existence. Of course that isn't God that the people scribble on their etch-a-sketch minds. Can you imagine a Being that can create you and everything else?? Can you create even a piece of dust? Can you read the scripture and see the power behind it? If you say yes you are working the old etch-a-sketch again. Sketchy, very sketchy.
You too atheists, just because you can't imagine you persuade yourself that what you can't imagine cannot possibly exist. Now let me see...is that the highest height of egotism and myopia? Nah!!!! Not till you are gasping for breath wondering if its your last. No atheists in foxholes.

The first philosopher to articulate this idea at any length was Ludwig Feuerbach who had much influence on Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx. The thesis can be found in his essay The Essence of Christianity (1841) and expounded upon in The Essense of Religion (1845).

You did no longer truthfully prepare something. via no skill the declare that somebody interior the seventh century might desire to no longer write one in each and every of those e book. Assuming for the sake of argument that this replaced into authentic (and that i've got not got self assurance that) this does not prepare god. possibly an alien wrote the e book, or communicated such awareness to the Qur'an's authors. or possibly it replaced right into a time vacationer from the destiny. something of your placed up is only bare assertions, without helping evidence.

Man is the only source that which I've "come to know 'God'". If my mother, or people, have never mentioned such a concept, I would never have known one way or another.
Since I haven't yet seen proof of the existance of such a God (Erase all known holy books and what is left in the place of hard evidence?), it has been defaulted as a man-made concept.
To answer your question, I don't know, but whoever he/she was--just brilliant!!
Have a nice evening.
Dog Sneeze--Thank you, will research.
