I think man created God as a way to explain things not understood once man
became intelligent enough to reason. People are naturally afraid of the
unknown. What's more unknown then death. Death seems so final and scary.
For early man to make sense of this, God and an afterlife were created.
This took care of the unknown portion (by saying there is an invisible
all-powerful dude responsible) and also the scary portion (by saying there
is an afterlife). People don't like loose ends and this explaination of
life and death explained all by just saying yes there is a God...just
believe and don't question. The same was said for the earth being flat too.
I'm not saying I don't believe in God (that's personal and I would never
preach, though it seems this post is a little lol) but I'm smart enough to
not just be a lemming and blindly believe something because somebody told me
"it's like that just because it is and it's in the bible, torah, quran, etc"
(which were all written by men). Did ya ever write down something somebody
said? Were you able to write it down verbatim? If you were able to, was it
as long as these books? Amazing memory.

human life.

From the expansional rate of the Universe to the location of Earth in
the Solar System, from percengates of athmospheric gases to
properties of sunlight, innumerous equilibriums are sustained each
second and each hour. Not even one of these arrangements may occur by
chance. All obey the infallible wisdom of God exhibiting His might and

created this great universe from nothingness.


Who created god, & why?
