Was it not man who created God?

Question

No other creature ever observed pays homage to a god, probably because they do not have the self doubt of mankind.

Answer 1

Man created all of the gods in a vain attempt to explain the unexplainable. Self awareness is more of a factor than self doubt. The strong and controlling seized this opportunity to use the weakness and gullibility of the masses to manipulate them out of their freedom and their money.

Answer 2

Yes, man created God. What else must people have thought every time they saw the sun rise or the brilliant night sky with no reference to explain what they were seeing?

We don't need a God to explain the world anymore. Science has done that for us. So why are there still people who believe?

The answer is simply fear. Animals do not know about their own mortality. They probably have never pondered what life is or death. Humans do that everyday. Some of us except it and get on with our lives, others are terrified and turn to religion in the futile hope that death will not be the end.

Answer 3

No to your question & also we as humans are the ones with a soul & we are the ones that sinned,The animal kingdom did not sin but yet they have better sense then people does, & nature is the law of God put into nature & the animal kingdom. We don't have to tell trees to start turning color in the fall, they have that law God put in them. The turtles in the oceans knows exactly where they were hatch at & every year they swim the oceans thousands of miles to the very same place they were hatched at, What causes that, The law of Nature God put into them.

Answer 4

This is a lie from people that started with a disbelief in God.
This is what people are taught in sociology classes, that man created God, not the other way around.
They began with their conclusion, then found or made up whatever "facts" they needed to prove what they wanted.
As far as animals, man is made in the image of God, we were a special act of the creation, and endowed with qualities no other has.

Answer 5

No, God created everything, including mankind.

Answer 6

Yep.

'In the beginning Man created God'. Loads of 'em!

Answer 7

Yes man created God, in the same way as he created Noddy, Batman and Wurzle Gummage. In other words, the BIble is just another book of fiction.

Answer 8

So, you are saying that man is different from animals. Interesting ... since with evolution we all came from the same source (according to evolutionists that is).

We have the ability to go against our nature for the sake of love ... animals do not. I mean, there is a verse that says the greatest thing a man can do is give his life for a friend. Notice it didn't say a man who gives his life for his family (that would be biological and genetic - preservation of the species), nor does it say he'd give his life for his community (again, self preservation). But for a friend? Now that's love.

So biologically and genetically speaking, where did this love come from? Not evolution, or animals would be doing it too.

There is more to us than our "nature", there is also that element of God within us all. We didn't "create" God, we are incapable of that.

Answer 9

how can you be so sure that animals do not worship God? are you capable of understanding them?

If there is a God, then he cannot be created because He is the source of all things. He is, was and always will be present, nothing can create a God because nothing else but a God has the power to create.

Answer 10

You said it. MAN created God. Enough said.
