Did God Invent Us, Or Did We Invent Him

[bax]

Holy, deep thread Batman. I think about God alot. Or, the concept of God, I should say. And that's what I think needs clearing up. You can talk all you want about "God" but what's the definition? A "person-like" presence, up there, in charge of it all. Unlikely. So, no I don't think God "invented" us.

The argument of "what are the odds that humanity could arise out of simple chance??" doesn't hold because if you look at it that way you can also say. Well, if this is one of the possibilities, of course it's happening somewhere.

No matter what, all that really matters is what we choose to do. We can use faith to either decide we believe in God, or to not believe in him. There is no proof. Either way our daily conduct matters.

Atrocities: you asked the question, and I wonder what you think more precisely? What makes me curious is the belief in fate and freewill. Whether or not there is a God. Whether or not he invented us, or we invented him...

Do we have a destiny?
Are we really in control of the decisions we make?
Does everything happen for a reason?
