Claims About Religion Being A Human Invention
Before one criticizes an idea or a concept, they should first understand it sufficiently in order to criticize it in any productive manner. I think that the stated criticism on religion is made without any understanding of the claim of religion at all. In the Quran God claims that He gave His own awareness to the very first human beings. It further claims that God kept on reminding people by sending prophets and messengers because people would gradually deviate from the truth and start to disagree with one another. As far back as we have any documented history of the mankind, it’s evident that the concept of a creator has not only always been present but also prevalent. Of course we find many different concepts about God in history, and there have even been periods where polytheism was widespread, however these facts can be reconciled with people’s own baseless inventions. The criticism that humans invented the concept of God and thereby other claims of religion is therefore absolutely unfounded. Until a time that someone can conclusively show that the humanity began without any knowledge about God, the claim of religion which stands on very firm grounds can’t be refuted through any irresponsible criticism.
