i just had an apithany. i was watching dr. cox's commentary on Sunshine. th big bang happnned, god didn't create the universe. if there is a god, he was created by the big bang, born so evovled that he controls aspects of th universe. what do you think?
You must realize that back then people needed an explanation of natural phenomena in the world. They had a somewhat limited scope of reality, the types of things that are rather easily explained now to them was mysticism, or divine power. Shaky is correct, Humans did create the Bible and God to explain these types of things.
Think about it this way, before monothiesm there was polytheism. People who believed in multiple gods were far more out of touch with reality than people who believe in a single god. What's the next step?

If you can accept a natural origin to the universe, why would you even need God?

natural as in can be observed and measured like other natural phenomena?

Let me clarify, when I said multiple gods I meant Gods of Earth, Fire, Water, ect..In that case are you going to tell me that the idea of Thor- God of Lightning is on par with the idea of a God who created the universe?

so something that is supernatural is really natural so long as human industry didn't create it (or, should I say human industry after the invention of factories or patents)?

Dude, you're so d33p and 3dgy. How were you not discovered as a child prodigy?
Probably because nobody who believes really cares.
