Every theist would believe with
passion, that God has created the entire universe. However, what if I say that
we created the God. Perhaps we are the ones who conceptualized the existence of
God in the first place and we gave
that nonexistent enough power to actually prevail, not in physical form, but
mentally or emotionally, inside us.
There is a high possibility that with
their evolution from proto-humans to humans, Homo sapiens came across situations they couldn’t explain; yet tried, and came to
a consensus that these “supernatural” events are caused by a certain
lofty mastermind who, not only crafted us, but
also, strategized our preservation and destruction.
During evolution, as their brain size increased, Homo sapiens began to
question their existence. They started wondering who their creator was, why do
they exist, and what awaits their future.
In order to substantiate my
belief, I researched about the evolution and origin of religion, and denounced
that my theory – that had already been theorized by the wiser – was bona fide.
Here is an extract from a text, I
read on the Internet.
“Anthropologists,
evolutionary biologists, and other researchers have reached a near consensus
that humans of the species homo sapiens evolved from a species of proto-humans
who originated somewhere in Africa. Their internal brain structure represented
a major advance over those of previous animals in terms of its flexibility, its
ability to reason, and its ability to plan for the future. This gave
proto-humans an improved ability to pass on their accumulated knowledge to
their descendants, to form more advanced societies, and ultimately to create
religions.”

Um well according to me..
ReplyDeleteAll religions are human creations with specific social and psychological functions. It doesn’t mean they are true, although we can’t deny they can in part be true. But from here to enabling men to represent and speak in the name of a supposed God – that is lunacy.
It's interesting that you are talking about God and not religion. People often mix the two and that's perhaps the cause of all religious conflicts. God is same irrespective of the religion one follows. And the concept of God is somewhere a creation of human mind to explain the unexplained and to give hope & faith to ourselves.
