Question

Did god make man,or did man make god ?
did god actually make man,or did man invent the concept of god as a means of control,faith,submission,etc.

Answer

If God made man, then God is an existing being. If man made God, then quotGodquot is a mere idea. What this question is asking is whether or not God exists as a being or an idea. It is possible that there is a God who created man and that there are ideas of other gods that man created that quotorquot is inclusive. The only ways to prove an answer to the question are to show that God exists which is impossible unless God reveals himself or to show who, when, and where the idea of a god was first put forth historically, which can also not be answered. The only answer to the question is quotone or the other or bothquot. The only way to narrow the answer further is faith that God exists or faith that God does not exist.
