magical super-god? For some god to have created everything takes an enormous leap of faith, so much that it becomes impossible to believe it. While it seems possible to eventually explain the universe in terms of natural laws, it seems impossible to explain how a god could exist that would have the power to have created everything. How can people believe god did it?
 
It all goes back to the natural fear of death. Without this fear animals would take no precaution to protect themselves from predators or the elements. Life would come to an end.
In the very earliest humanoids, this fear of death was so strong that they dreamed up a way of cheating death. Thr soul was invented. Of course, there had to be a place where this soul went after death, so a heaven had to be dreamed up. And, of course, there had to be someone in control of the whole thing.
Yep, the great controller, the great creator, the maker of all the forces of nature, the terrible thunder and lightning, the life giving sun, the important rain, etc,etc.
Gods came and gods went,dozens and dozens of them. When one of the leaders had a nightmare, he would imagine new gods, so the old ones went to the garbage heap.
Now we're at the stage where the Western World believes in only one god. They're not in agreement as to who or what this god is, but he's the guy who created the zillions and zillions of miles of planets, stars, the whole works. As unbelievable as this appears to some, it is unquestioned by others.
No religious leader has ever attempted to explain how god could have accomplished this, or where all the material came from.- - - he just did it - - believe it - - - don't ask questions.
However, some of us must ask questions and must get understandable, believable answers, or write it off as just so much primitive superstition.
