All human knowledge begins life as a theory based on intuition and some observations. Theories are invention. When they are checked against reality and for internal consistency we sometimes find that the theory holds tight. Once we become convinced that this theory is correct , we say that we have discovered something real, not that we've invented it.
Instead of saying that God is an invention you should investigate the theory.

I have investigated the theory. The concept of an all-knowing, all-good, all-powerful god is a logical impossibility. Which means the theory is false.

Theories require supporting evidence otherwise they collapse. Produce your evidence.
Some theories require investigation because their veracity isn't self-evident. Other theories are dismissed out of hand because they are too implausible to be true. Most scientists and scholars are agreed that the concept of some sort of super-being controlling everything is too implausible to be worthy of further investigation.
Once again we return to the simple issue at the core of the problem - those that believe god exists must prove it because it is not possible to prove a negative. Until such proof or at the very least strong supporting evidence is provided (the bible doesn't count because it is based on belief, not fact or evidence), the theory of the existence of god remains too implausible to warrant serious consideration.

God is abosolutely a theory scientifically. We call it an invention because the concept of him serves a purpose (fullfillment, meaning). The reason this is odd is because God should not be "inventable" after all (in theory) was here long before us. Calling god an invention implies that he was created by man hence not a true deity.

"Instead of saying that God is an invention you should investigate the theory."
I could say the same thing about Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.
Do you believe in them too???

A scientific theory should be founded on evidence and logical conclusions and checked with repeatable experiments. God is just pure fiction, not a theory.

Nice to see you asking a question, Mr Muhammad. But most of us have investigated the theory already and come to a logical conclusion.

actually, it is not a theory until it has been tested in at least some small, primitive way. Until then, it is a hypothesis. So theories are not really inventions, they are just interpretations of data.

It has been very well investigated. The things purported to be gods work have no evidence to support them. Some like the power of prayer have been shown patently false. God is a failed hypothesis.

There is no evidence of any god. Theory fails.
Any questions.

in order to create a theory, one must have a hypothesis; in order to have a hypothesis, one needs testable evidence. Since we have no evidence to form our hypothesis, we cannot create a theory.
