Question

What came first, did god create humans, or did humans create god?

it's a serious question, requieing serious answers: humans have always created religions and gods throughout time...and many of these religions said that thier gods created humans...so which came 1st->Humans or god?

Answer 1

I like these question, and all the wrong answers.
Humans created God out of a necessity to explain things in his environment that couldn't be explained.... lack of knowledge.
God = factor X or what I like to call the X factor.
Can't explain it God (X factor) did it.
See how simple their lives are now. No need to find the truth about anything.

Answer 2

First off, if this is a serious question the first thing you need to do is learn how to SPELL, that is if you want a serious answer. Second, anthropologists have found remains of early modern humans reaching back as far as 100,000(+) years ago. These remains have been dated and analyzed by multiple scientists, meaning this is real physical evidence. The bible on the other hand states earth is 6000 years old which is totally incorrect and has no physical evidence (faith based). Therefore, humans existed before the supposed time of god. So, in other words humans created the idea of god or some sort of after life.

Answer 3

Humans created god or gods to explain natural phenomena not yet fully understood for the times.

Although logic and science have explained the origin of weather, the behavior of animals, the formation of mountains, etc. many peoples (both modern and the perceived "primitives") still cling to superstitions such as creation stories, the origin of soul, the result of death -- the myths that humans must bow to a creator that is either kind, punishing, or disinterested.

The mistake many religions make is spreading their beliefs. Historically and in modern times, it hasn't mattered if this missionary work has been applied kindly or literally tortured into the recipients. It has always created derision within groups, cultures, and countries.

As much as a group of people think they believe in the same doctrine and believe they're synapses are all firing in unison, that is a fallacy.
The concept of religion is personal and differs greatly within the group, whether they admit it or not.
That's human nature -- that's what got the mythical Adam and Eve kicked out of Eden -- independent thought.

Lower primates, Apes, Gorrillas, and Monkeys came first. Their species changed over time, or evolved and spread across the globe. Then Humans, without any other way to explain the world around them, needed a creation story, to answer the age old question "where did we come from?" Most people can name their grandparents, fewer their great grandparents, even fewer their great, great, grandparents, and so on and so forth. We cannot name any prehuman ancestors, merely because they didn't have the intellect to write, let alone keep records. We are product's of our environment, you would be hard pressed to find a true christian in any muslim nation, and vice versa. There are bones of our earliest primate ancestors. Do youself a favor, and pick up a Molecular CELL Biology and Evolution Book, that is of course, if they allow science books in the convent.

Answer 5

humans came first.

they are many different gods and dieties. this goes to show that the human species is not even sure about there own roots. That they create stories to make it seem like they know where they came from when they really dont and then dont provide real evidence that supports it. and the bible isnt good evidence because its tampered evidence. people have edited and changed the bible alot through out history.

I agree that humans came 1rst and humans just dont know there roots so they create these ideas hoping to satisfy there everlasting curiosity. yet they are just lying to themselves with these gods and dieties and are interlorant when people question about the dieties and gods. The only real things are nature and science.These are things that no one can put up a good argument againts and see these two things everyday.
theres no denying that you dont see science or nature everyday at work.

Personally I hink one possible reason why religious people hate it when you question there beliefs even when provided with hard strong evidence and good reason with logic is because deep down, they are scared of feeling lost. And thats why i think alot of times people turn to religion. Because they dont want to feel lost.

Answer 6

Humans

Answer 7

Humans

Answer 8

you will probably get a lot of flack over this but my own opinion, since you asked, is that humans invented gods to answer their basic questions & to blame when things just don't go their way. it is a wonderful device to offset the unknown, create reasons for things happening when all other possible answers fail. the scariest things on this earth are those things you can't see, like the future and beyond your horizons. elaborate stories created down through the ages explains the unexplanable and having gods (male or female) takes the stress of providing answers for things you just can't explain away.

Answer 9

God existed always, exist and will continue to exist when we are not a human race any longer.
God inspired the people he selected to tell a history of salvation. and Jesus a real historical figure that walked the earth like any other human being, also is God and while here confirmed the Bible stories. God is and always will be. It is a question of faith and also of reason. thinking is a very important part of believing as well as it is praying. God 1st human 2nd

Answer 10

A famous man once said: if you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have? The answer is four because calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg. Saying god created man, as so many have, does not make it so.

Man came first.

Happy hunting.
