Do you think God actually created man or did we just make Him up in our minds?

Seeing that he's nothing but a figment of our imagination, i would say that "God" is a creation of man.

Atheist here

First, God created humans. Then humans created gods. Evolution did not happen.

We could create God if we could create earth, air, water, plants, animals etc. After all, these are lesser things compared to God!

But you say, what you mean is God is only in the minds of people, does not exist in reality. Then tell me where did all these come from? How did life begin from non-living matter? And went on to form such complex structures that even today we do not fully understand how they work? When we look at, say, a computer we marvel at the amount of intelligence that has gone into making it and yet we are willing to accept that the various organs of our bodies, some of which are thousands of times more complicated than our computers, would 'know' how to manufacture themselves!

Regarding the origin of life, Thomas Huxley, who coined the word agnostic, and who called himself Darwin's bulldog, so ardent was his advocacy of Darwin's evolutionist theories, made this statement:

"Looking back through the prodigious vista of the past, I find no record of the commencement of life, and therefore I am devoid of any means of forming a definite conclusion as to the conditions of its appearance. Belief, in the scientific sense of the word, is a serious matter, and needs strong
foundations. To say, therefore, in the admitted absence of evidence, that I have any belief as to the mode in which the existing forms of life have originated, would be using words in a wrong sense. But expectation is permissible where belief is not. And if it were given me to look beyond the abyss of geologically recorded time to the still more remote period when the earth was passing through physical and chemical conditions, which it can no more see again than a man can recall his infancy. I should expect to be a witness to the evolution of living protoplasm from not living matter. I should expect to see it appear under forms of great simplicity, endowed, like existing fungi, with the power of determining the formation of new protoplasm from such matters as ammonium carbonates, oxalates and tartrates, alkaline and earthy phosphates, and water, without the aid of light. That is the expectation to which analogical reasoning leads me but I beg you once more to recollect that I have no right to call
my opinion anything but an act of philosophical faith."-Discourses Biological and Geological, pp. 256,
257.

That reminds me of a song by XTC, called "Dear God", the song goes on about his anger towards God and how he can't believe in Him. But yet he took time to write Dear God (the one he doesn't beleive in) and wonders if God created us after we created Him. For all of you who don't beleive in God, all I can wonder is why then talk so much about Him?
There sure are alot of disbeleivers out there!!!! That's fine. When Christ comes back the second time, you will kneel whether you want to or not dead or alive and believe me you will fall to your knees and you will be pleading for Him to spare your life.

GOD created Man in his own image, and we created all the other Gods.

Do you believe that each person has a soul?

Do you believe that each baby has a soul?

If so, where do the souls come from?

Of all the people variations that your parents could have produced, why you specifically?

So many people through the ages died of famine, disease, war but you had a long line of surviving relatives from the beginning of human presence on earth leading up to you.. Miracle? Luck? Why you and not someone else?

Why is Earth configured to support life? Miracle or luck?

Faith is internal and personal. You have to decide this for yourself.

He was, He Is, He is to come. God was not created. He IS. He created everything. Read Genesis for the account of Creation.

There are four major evidences of God's existence:
1. The Holy Bible
2. Intuitive Belief
3. The Lord Jesus Christ
4. Creation
When the Bible spoke of Man's creation, it was referring to the first man on earth--Adam. And out of Adam, God created Eve. There are many proofs on God's existence. One of which is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Even scientists today believe in the Creation. But it all depends to you if what you would believe: a.)you are a special creation of God b.)you just came from a bacteria

God Bless your mind..........

Throughout history, everyone has tried to find an explanation for events and unexplained phenomenon. During that search, "God" was created. God is suppose to represent the Absolute One, the First, the beginning, the Creator of Anything and Everything. Everyone's perception of who or what "God" is, is perceived differently depending on who you ask.

I think God created us. I just saw that Bodies exhibit today, and after looking at everything inside the human body, there's absolutly no possible way that God didn't create it. It's just extremely too complex for evolution to even come close to doing. Same with galaxies, God had to have done it. Things as complex as everything in the universe don't just pop out of nothing.
