God vs Man Made Theory!?

God's supernatural help is definitely the correct one.

Yes, I've seen Dogma. In the Bible, he's considered as "he". and in our society, the man is the strongest. That's something to really think aout. But I would rather leave that to God.

Yes there is evidence as others have pointed out.It's evidence if one is really trying to understand.\nI believe God's image is that of a man because in most societies man represents strength,protection,wisdom and leadership.(Note:I said"represent".I realize there is a whole other discussion in that statement but we will just stick with the God question!)\nHowever,there are passage in the Bible that describe God's love for us with such tender and compassion,I actually thought God was a woman!I can not express the torture I put myself through trying to grapple with that concept.I wanted help but the religious leaders I knew would not tolerate such a blasphemous statement as"you know what? I believe God is actually a woman!(I grappled with this because it was such a revelation I believed I would have to be the one to bring the church kicking and screaming into my new understanding of God.Thereby having to shed light on centuries of darkness.And if you have ever tried to shed light on centuries of darkness you know what a daunting and thankless task it can be.You heard what they did to Jesus,right?)"It was a woman pastor in a Presbyterian church,Ms Carolyn Fairless<who helped me resolve my struggle.She mentioned God has no genitalia.As a complete being God created two wholes,Adam and Eve,to make a whole.In a perfect world Adam would be the perfect compliment to Eve.And vise verse that relationship between the two produces love and as was mentioned God is love.Ithank we use gender to get a handle on God because God is more than we can really understand with our imperfect minds.We have an idea of who God is and what he does but it's nothing as compared to the reality.(I think!)

The latter seems much more plausible. Man has made a lot or gods.

It's all made up.\n\nAdam and Eve were the first people according to a story in a book called the Bible.  This is a book.  This is one theory of how things began.  It was written by men -   millions....billions of years after the fact.  \n\nThere are many stories about creation.  They are all stories.  None of the authors of these books were around when it actually happened.  Every theory about how man came to be is just that - a theory.  \n\nTo be sure, some theories have garnered much more support and a wider audience than others.  But just because one story enjoys better marketing than another doesn't necessarily make it "true" - it's just true to those who choose to believe it.\n\nThere are over 10,000 religions practiced on the Earth.  (David Barrett, The World Christian Encyclopedia)  Many of them have numerous denominations.  Within Christianity alone there are over 33,830 denominations.  \n\n10,000 religions...10,000 interpretations of how life began.  Which one is accurate?  \n\nThere is the Known.  The Unknown.  And the Unknowable.  Your question falls into the 2nd or 3rd category.\n\nI wish you Peace.

I think that Time magazine's "God vs Science" article was unfair and ridiculous.  It is not "God vs Science" because modern science affirms biblical creation.  www.reasons.org

Humans have almost always looked to one god or another to help them explain things they could not understand as well as to use to control the masses around them ... don't think that the "christain" god is anything other than a new god on the block ... there have always been gods for as long as there have been men and yes, they are the creations of our minds and not the other way around ...

May be a plan, not sure. I actually believe Adam & Eve were God's first man/woman creation. They lived in Eden. Then God created more people in other areas outside of Eden. So, the Sons most likely found other women outside the Garden. But, that what I think, many other ideas on this.\nDang it Mainworry again. :-p Not seen you in a while; God Bless!

This is an interesting subject. First of all I do belive in God&Creationalism, but however Im not very religous.Before God created Adam and Eve there must have been life on Earth.\nPerhaps God chose the Earth to put Man on because it was a very viable place to live. In Genisis chapter one it is written "In the begining God created the heavens and the Earth, and the Earth was VOID and WHITHOUT form" "Then the Spirit of the Lord moved apon the face of the deep... Its hard to say really, but in my opinion this is similar to the way science sugests that it all began, on a barren rocky world filled with an endless sea with which life could proliferate. There is evidence on the surface of the Earth that sugests that massive impacts from space have occured. Perhaps before the time of Man, the Earth was filled with Dinosaurs and 'quote' other prehistoric life and it was a great place for LIFE. Then one day for a reason known only to God, he chose to destroy the Earth with an asteroid so massive that it compleatly decimated everything, and left the planet, dark, void, and without proper form. The neanderthal men, in my opinion are evidence of somthing else mentioned in the Bible. In Genisis chapter six it says "the sons of God saw the beatiful women of the human race, and took any they wanted as there wives...in those days and even after GIANTS lived on the Earth" .The sons of God probly refers to angelic beings. Neanderthals were supposed to be much larger, and more robust then regular  humans of today. I think I have seen a few shows on the Discovery channle about human evolution, and acording to science, neanderthals, and humans most likely lived side by side. Then for reasons unknown, there was only MAN left as if the neanderthal died out. What about the great Mammoths, Sloths, Sabertoothed Cats, among other animals? I think that they, and the neanderthals were not included on NOAHS ARK. There is so much information to think about! Even so, there is still a lot of mystery. I do know one thing, all the PERFECT laws of the universe, from GRAVITY to MAGNATISIM, to PHYSICS just prove that that the universe was created intelligently, and beatifully might I ad. Sorry to type so much I have wandered about these issues too. Please remember that I was just speaking hypotheticaly on the what ifs. Hope I helped a little.

God appears to be quite a sexist bit of work. Could be jealousy.... as a 'masculine' deity, he can't give birth.Maybe he could do with a bit of balance. (shrugs)

Some early humans created god in the image of man because they could not think of what god should look like.  But other humans have recreated god in the image of trees, mountains, animals etc...  They can't help it.  They have to create something to reflect upon.  Why they did not look at their reflection in the lake, I cannot understand.  But then look what happened to Narcissus!!!

The theory of gravity is a pretty good theory, but it doesn't answer any of those questions either.  \n\nThe theory of evolution doesn't concern any of those questions either except #9 which is flawed.\n\nAs I see it there is no conflict between the theory of evolution and christian beliefs. God created man...through evolution.  I don't take everything in the bible literally, like the garden of eden story.  That story is not meant to be taken literally.  It is a story to explain something that people couldn't explain at the time Genesis was written.

It's interesting because I use the same thought process as you to arrive at a totally different conclusion.  For me it is like, God doesn't fit into my "nice neat little box" so he can't exist.  That might sound close-minded so I'll elaborate.  In my eyes, science is beginning to understand more and more of the world and our origins.  Now when I look at the overwhelming evidence of evolution and even just the happenings around me, I form a general understanding of the world that I am comfortable with.  Now when something enters my world view (God) I have to examine the evidence and tinker with the idea to see if it fits.  The problem with God is, I've seen no evidence and he just plain does not fit.  With science, no matter what your mindset, the evidence is right there for you to see regardless of your bias or what conclusions you draw from it.  Basically, if I saw real evidence of God, I could attempt to rearrange the rules and see if he fits, but I don't believe I should have to break the rules to even see evidence of him.  That makes it sound like the first step to becoming a Christian is to delude yourself.

Remember, GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.\nNot that I actually believe that load of garbage, but I'm getting it shoved down my throat constantly on this site.

This is the best theory I've seen:\n\nhttp://www.4815162342.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3377

This is a compelling argument against the existence of god. \n\nThe faithful always say that if you were walking along a beach and found a watch, you would presume that it was crafted by a watchmaker. Anything as complex as a watch could not just appear. They look at the universe, more complex than a watch and say that this is evidence of a "watchmaker." \n\nHowever, this argument just pushes the question of creation up a level. Who crafted the watchmaker? Who crafted the watchmaker's watchmaker? It goes on and on ad infinitum.\n\nThe faithful will then say that god needeth not a creator! \n\nWhat? Then why does the universe need one? "Because it's so complex," they'll say.\n\nBut isn't god more complex than the universe? The circle goes on and on.
