Did man create God or did God create Man?

Here is my theory on the whole existace of God. If you look aroung us, everything that exists had to have been created in some way, shape, or form. We were created by our parents, this computer was created by us, buildings are created by wood, that was created by trees, that were created by air, water, and soil. Even the sun was created by particles reacting in outer space. I challenge you to try to think of something that was created by something that just exists. Even when you think you have thought of something, if you think about it for a second you'll find that you were wrong, trust me, I've tried. If we trace this back all the way to the beginning, there must have been some omnipitantly existing being, thing, whatever you want to call it, that started this whole process. This being would have actually had to posess the ability to reason to begin this whole process. This being must be God. It doesn't matter if you are referring to the christian god, buddah, allah, it's all the same idea. This is my logically scientific reason for the existance of God. I say scientific because it does not rely on anyting in the bible or "proof" of maricles, it's simply common sense reasoning. How about wrapping your head around this for a second though. There are four basic scenarios for the existance of God. 1. One believes in God and he really does exist. This person is rewarded with eternal happiness for his or her belief. 2. One does not believe in God and he really does exist. This person is punished with eternal damnation for his or her belief. 3. One believes in God and he does not exist. This person is no further ahead nor behind where they already were. 4. One does not believe in God and he does not exist. This person is no further ahead nor behind where they already were. Looking at these four scenarios, one can determine that, since you basically have nothing to lose, It makes sense to believe in god. The only way you stand to lose is if you do not believe and you are wrong. This is just my two cents. Ok more like my two thousand dollars but I've spent a lot of time thinking about this subject and trying create a logically, un-opinionated, un-biased argument about God.

I know its a good question, but the point here is If god exists, then why did he create us, We created computer because we wanted simplification and modernization in our lives, its a technological advancement for human beings. The question for religious fanatics is... If god created us it means he needed us and hence he created us... if thats the case, whats the need for us to praise him or request him to protect us, and if we were "its" creation, i am sure as hell, that he must have tried again and he must have succeeded in it, hence he is paying more attention on better form of our creation, its like invention for need. If our creation was accidental like accidental pregnancy, i don't see how accidents can be judged by god and bifurcate our actions to lead one to heaven or hell. If god exists how does it matter? If god does not exists, it sure as heaven matters because then we need to understand that we are alone who can protect the future of human beings, bring about more inventions, reduce pollution and protect trees and help eachother without thinking too much about race, colour or preachings of someone who in the name of god is creating hatred in the minds of adolescents. Cheers!

I believe that God created us in his image. Each human being is created on the image of God and that all of us are worth as we are the son of God. Many writers have pondered on the idea that God is created by man. I don't subscribe to this point of view.

That's the first time in my life to hear that it was a debate!!! It's without any arguing, that God created us!!

GOD created man.He is the God of the Universe, King of kings and Lord of lords, and i can't find any question of His existence. He is spirit and no one saw His face. the god which is created by man are those graven images which worships by others.

hi there, with all the respect, i'd like to know how do you think the whole the universe started? i mean you could say that the big bang theory or something like that, but who did that?? who or what??

I really believe in God ,and I truly believe that God created men ,but to me almost everything still remains a mystery. We have Science on one side claiming evolution ,and we have Theology on the other side claiming the existence of a supernatural being. I also, believe that we have good and bad inside our souls ,and is up to us to follow the spiritual path. At the end what matters is what we do to make the World a better place since love can produce miracles.

If man is God manifesting as human, then you could argue that God created man. But on the other side, as a human manifestation of God, we all create our own worlds. If you are referring to the beings man has created to represent God, those are strickly a human creation to explain the unexplainable and create a comfort zone.Hope this helps the discussion.

Perhaps the ancients understood that there had to have been a superior being that created the universe. However, like so many people today, they weren't able to get their minds around a god that was or is eternal and perfect, so they created god as they wanted him to be, limited and with flaws.

If you are a true religious believer, you must believe that God created man. No other aolution could be realized. God made the world and he could be the only one to create man as well.

I believe that there may be a higher power that we don't understand. And in the midst of attempting to comprehend it we as men and women have created dieties to try and explain what is greater then us and mystery to us.

man is not created by god or god is not created by god it only power that is come from god it is only belief to faith god

i dont think this question got answer even it is hotly debated. just like the question is it the chicken give birth to the egg or the egg give birth to the chicken, there is no answer. but i know, there is a god, we must believe it , and i know, there is life, we must do our best to make the life meaningful and wonderful

i believe that GOD created man and God gave man the power of free will. So whatever's our answers to this question, it's our choice to give those answers ;D

On many old maps and pictures you will see a representation of 'winds'. They are usually depicted as cherubs or old men with puffed out cheeks blowing hard. Nobody (except a child, perhaps), of course, believes that the wind really is like that but it's a convenient and amusing way of personalising the idea of 'wind'. Just as we can't actually see air, we cannot really see God but, somehow, many people have come to the conclusion that He is 'there' and have found it necessary to 'personalise' Him in various ways. Man didn't create God but he did create an image (or various images) which serve to represent what He means to us. Just as a child might really fancy that the wind was some large, shady being blowing hard, so many people imagine God in the form of a man sitting up in the clouds somewhere that one can pray 'to'. That image is created by us and it may have some elements of truth in it, depending on the person holding the image. At any rate, it is a convenient fiction that can help people to find out what He really is. The trouble is that, if one accepts the image as the whole truth, it can sometimes seriously hinder our relationship with God.

I believe in God and I believe in the Bible so I can say that I believe God only created man and he also made woman out of man. there is no one can create ocean, mountains, wind, planets, stars, universe, but God. God is almighty and have a power. Some theory are just made my man because God gave us brain to function and he also gave us free will on what we want to believe in. So I believe God is the only one who made this. For me God do not look human, I don't what he looks like but I believe in his power and his mercy.

If you are one who truly seeks the truth, you must explore all the possibilities. You must search for God. If God really exists, then He can be found. In finding God, you will discover an Intellect far far above what we deem as intelligent. We are ants.We are all spiritual beings in our true natures just like God. We are made in His image. That isn't talking about this physical world. Spiritually, we are all connected. God is Unconditional Love with the highest of intellect.

I would like to post questions first. How can man create God,when he can't even know sometimes how to solve his own problems? How can man create God,when he can't even make a mountain smaller? How can man create God,when he can't stop hurricanes? How can man create God, when he can't find solutions to stop plagues and outbreaks? How can man create God, when he cant even make a new planet or new moon or new star? How can man create God, when he often fail to distinguish right from wrong? HOw can someone as lowly as man create an all-knowing entity called God? How can someone as imbalanced as man can create God who has done all amazing things and kept everything in balance. How can someone as someone like a man thinks he created God? Only an atheist cannot answer. And i am entitled to my own beliefs and opinions. And God created me so that i may glorify His name, most especially in instances like this. (^_^)

That is very much hurting question you had asked how can man create the god obviously God create us!

Well everything depends upon your belief. As I think it is a debate, which will never end. If you ask this question from Spiritual person, then he will definately say that GOD created Man. And similarly if you ask same question from the person who does not believe in GOD(or who is more practical), then he will say that GOD is nothing but a imagination of a human mind.
