People made God (thousands of years ago) as a way to answer questions science did not; humans crave resolution. Governments used religion to control (scare) the masses to avoid chaos by telling them if they are naughty they will burn in hell. Now that science has answered many questions, people are too afraid to not believe.

I think I understand the point of your question. True, there are MANY religions out there where people 'made up' their own God. I wouldn't want to name any of those and put myself in a tight spot. There are some peeps who claim that they are gods themselves!!! But, I do know of a handful that preach that God definitely did make people, and not vice-versa.
If you'd like a personal opinion, I'd go with the first choice - that God made people. True, there are many unexplained facts, but science has even more unexplained facts! Personally, I'd suggest looking up for Christianity and/or Islam. Forgive me for being biased here, but I think those are the only two religions which clearly state how man was created and why.

Depends what you believe in...
Some beleive in God and some do not.
Those who do not, they will say if God does not exist, how he can be born? So...
Those who believe, well the answers given above should sufffice.
Perhaps for those who do not believe in God, this phenomena can be thought of due to law of natural forces like gravitational force, atomic theory and all basic science findings. Perhaps this is so called God. SO God was thus born the day universe came into being with the natural forces which govern its being.
But then we are born out of these natural forces, so in a way we are born due to so called God?
The reality no one will ever know..at least until ....

God made people and everything around us. Look at the way our bodies function, heal themselves and create new life. That it itself is a miracle. I believe that God gives people talents to use while we are here and therefore people have come up with a lot of technology and inventions, however, God made us and gave us the talents to make it on this earth.

People made up God! He doesn't exist, except in the minds of believers.

I'm a non believer and it's so simple God does not exist....from the beginning slaves are owned by traders to sell to kings and rich men.... if youre the slave should you complain to be tortured or even get killed or would you stay silent and do whatever they tell you... of course slaves made their own God to tell their problems to....untill such time generations passed father to son conversation made them feared God so as not to abuse other peoples rights... as i only believe in tha evolution... they have proof that we came from apes... but the bible? did it show any proof!!! it sucks!!! the bible is made by men not by God!!! fossils are made by history not by men...

It all depends in one's religion. In my faith, God was the one who invented alll living things and since adam and eve were the first human beings on earth, that means they have to obey what God says.

Both are correct. God created people, but then people created their own fallen gods!
Go figure!
