;;Of course God didn't invent it because man invented God which means that the Universe came before man who in turn came before God. It is a shame that the fanatics of this world do not read up on science as everything about God, Allah etc. can be disproven by science. Unfortunately man is an ignorant creature, especially those who still live in the dark ages who call themselves Muslims. They must never ever pick up a science manual.

No, it isn't silly. And more likely than not, a super-condensed ball of elements gave birth to the universe by expanding explosively: But...
Mankind invented god, to make the Earth - by its very nature, mankind must believe in something larger than itself - be it a deity or an event. But did (a) god make mankind to invent (a) god, to make mankind?
This is called circular reasoning - religion deals with it a lot, without making reference to it.
And...
Consider this; if a supreme being (e.g. "god") were to *somehow* manufacture, not just a planet, but an entire (observable) UNIVERSE - from nothing (?) - less than 10,000 years ago (as the bible states), why are we able to date said planet to approx. 5bn years and universe to approx. 15bn years? Is this simply because time was measured differently then (a religious argument I have heard)? Or is it that religion is based on nothing more than a human NEED to believe, like the human need to procreate?
What many "bible thumpers" never pause to consider is that a fundamental law of physics is that *something* cannot be created from *nothing*. Are we given to believe that the hypothetical (or mythological) "god" did so? Many do. Are they right? Or are people like me right? Who knows? I don't, and probably never will. But it's worth THINKING about. Thinking and questioning is what got us where we are now.
Ultimately, the choice is yours; you should make up your own mind whether to believe or not, whether to have faith or not. Personally, I choose not... but that is me and you are not me.
Yes, I AM an atheist, No there is NOTHING anyone can EVER do to change my mind; but that does not mean that I do not respect other people's right to believe in what or whomseover they wish. Hopefully, one day, religious people will respect my right to believe in nothing - but I won't hold my breath.

In many religions tremendous power is held to exist in the spoken word. This doctrine of the *logos* means that what is spoken is created. In the Christians' New Testament the ancient doctrine of the *logos* appears in John 1:1-3.
.
In the Genesis myth, the ability of Man to name the animals shows a step taken toward his becoming like a God.
.
The ability to name things implies power, and so it is blasphemy for mere humans to speak the name of their God, and the classical Hebrews are quite correct therefore in writing only "G-d" instead of "God".
.
In science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke describes the awful consequences of Man ever knowing the ineffable Holy Name of God.
.
So the informed use of language is an awesome power which humans have acquired, lifting us above the animal world. The universe as we perceive it is real yet it is the power of description in words that makes us as gods when we take account of it and affect it. Language and speech are awesome things and in some sense human intelligence is the inventor of the universe as well as the inventor of God.

Ahhhh, questions of irreducibility and primary causation.
The assumption is that because we live in a world of cause and effect that something must have caused God. But God exists in some way outside of the created universe. Philosophically, the question of something existing without cause is actually very interesting, whether you are Christian, monotheistic, polytheistic, atheistic, etc.
This idea of something being without being created, existing without cause speaks to the eternal and infinite nature of God.

Spring always comes with new life and birth
Followed by summer to warm the soft earth —
And what a comfort to know there are reasons
That souls, like nature, must have their seasons

Sophia did. Read "The Origins of the World" in the Nag Hammadi Library. It is a strange story.

Why does it matter who or how the world was created? Sure it was interesting. It is good to study, but if you don't have the tools or knowledge to find out scientifically, why does it bother you? The fact is that we exist that we are alive and we have to live our lives. Simple as that.
