Did God create man or did man create God?"

[joshua 1 9]

Are their any other options? Or do we have to choose one of the above options? Other then to be a fence sitter of course. Some people maybe undecided but according the the Bible you are either for God or against Him.

Matthew 12:30
"Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

Hundreds of millions of hindus haven't been scattered. What does that tell you?

 

[Herman Hedning]

"Did God create man or did man create God?"

Well, there's an obvious answer to that ...

 

[Willie T]

I've always wondered, "What banged?" (if ya go for the "Big Bang" theory.)

 

[Loudmouth]

I've always wondered, "What banged?"

The irony of the term Big Bang is that it was small and there was no bang.

Man has shown a tendency, to create Gods.

 

[joshua 1 9]

Man has shown a tendency, to create Gods.

So do you think there is more evidence that man created God then there is evidence that God created man?

Man created God, by a mile.

Fear has always created Gods.

If a God made us which God out of the hundreds out there was it? each country had it's own God so it makes sense that each country created it's own god, the Romans alone had hundreds of gods, they had gods for each individual feeling or happening, you name it and they had created a god to either protect yourself from it or get more of it.

There was a programme on TV the other day about Henry VIII where Cromwell came up with the idea of making Henry the head of the church of England just so he could divorce his wife and marry Anne Boleyn, the Catholic church was made the wrong religion to believe in over night and thousands were killed for not converting, a generation later it swung back the other way and tens of thousands of Protistants were killed for the same reason, which tells us that gods are just the tools of men.

God created man. Using evolution as one of His tools.

I don't see the problem here.

For you there is no problem because you don't even need to define what a god is before you believe he can do things,
the statement 'God created man' is meaningless without first defining what a God is, I would define a God as a non existing entity living in an imagined never never land that is outside and beyond existence, in other words totally made up.
You obviously do not see it that way at all because you don't want to, better to have an imagined God than no God at all.

 

[Nithavela]

Man has not created any god. You can't create something by making it up.

 

[Goonie]

Why is this thread not in philosophy? Also it does seem to be apologetics.

 

[AV1611VET]

God created man.

 

[Goonie]

Man created god, except for the god you believe in

We have thousands of examples of humans creating gods.
We have zero examples of gods creating anything - humans or otherwise.

 

[DogmaHunter]

So do you think there is more evidence that man created God then there is evidence that God created man?

As I just stated in the previous post...

We have an inumerable amount of examples of humans creating gods.
We have zero examples of gods doing anything at all - including simply "existing".

That's not how religions see it, in fact for them the exact opposite is true, if they imagine it it becomes real, if it's in the Bible it most definitely happened just by someone making it up and writing it down.

Hi consol

What tipped you off?
