Where did God come from? A dream, A lie, And an explanation

Paragraph 1 (P1) " This is not a fact"it"s an opinion"a theory"the idea that God is a dream/lie is a theory that I do not subscribe to. P2 " "sadly there is no answer" is again, An opinion, A theory held by you. I believe there to be an answer. P3: Again, A theory, Not shown to be proven by you yet. While Intelligence MAY be linked to brain size in apes, One can"t make the leap from apes to humans. While Darwin"s theory of evolution proposes that humans developed from apes, What his theory doesn"t explain is HOW nature made the leap from species to the other. P4: I agree. We have intelligence that allows us to interpret and differentiate reality. While dreams are indeed real (they do exist, We have them), The content of them is not real. As a child, I would have dreams of jumping over the Snake river on a motorcycle (yes, I watched too many Evel Knievel specials on TV), But those events never happened. I used my intelligence to distinguish reality from my dreams. P5: Disagreed. "Belief in spirits" is NOT a belief that that the experiences of the mind in dreams are an externally originated experience. "Belief in Spirits" is a belief that there exists things that are not made up of matter (that are immaterial). It"s a subtle, But important, Distinction. I believe that things exist that are not made up of the matter like physical objects". Things like dreams". Thoughts"ideas". Concepts like truth and justice". . These things clearly exist, But they are not made up of physical matter (tell me how much a dream ways, Or what color that idea is". Or how much density truth has). P6: You are making a huge assumption that early man (or even current man) did not have the ability to distinguish an idea from a dream, Which roughly the same thing, Except one is the product of the conscious (awake) mind and the other the product of dormant person (asleep) P7: Wrong. We don"t see them, We imagine them. See argument against P6 above. You"ve provided no evidence that this is how "early man " (our ancestors) viewed dreams. To assert this as fact is an assumption and theory. P8: I don"t disagree"as long as man has had the capacity to think there have been men trying to swindle men out of something. Perhaps early man tried to swindle his neighbor out of the "prized" Tyrannosaur's claws his neighbor used for hunting. Who knows. This does not prove that man invented God. P9 I think this argument is akin to the classic "our ancestors were unable to explain scientifically phenomena, So they made up "God" or "Gods" to explain things that could not be explained scientifically. We understand science now, Which explains phenomena thought to be the work of a "God"". This may be so, But yet"we are still left with the question, Where did "science" come from? P10 " Nice theory. But that"s all that is. P11 " We arrive at the idea of God through reason and induction. Certain questions have answer that point to things that are attributed to our version of God". . "What made matter? " (something immaterial) ". "What made the universe? " (something outside the universe, And thus not bound by time or space), Etdc. Etc My Answer: I do not think GOD was invented. When one asks the right questions, One arrives at key attributes that point to what we would call "God". See response to P11.
