God is everywhere!

God is an aspect of our existence, just like colour!The Russian states:Perhaps I could slightly rephrase your question into something like "Why has mankind always believed in 'the existence of God?'". In this case, I think the answer is quite simple. To this day, there are many things we don't control in nature (most things), but long ago, we used to not understand these things either. This is where the concept of gods originated (indeed earlier belief systems were polytheistic, a deity for every phenomenon respected but not understood). For example, the ancient people didn't understand how lightning works, but it's powerful and uncontrollable, so they imagined that there is a force (super-powerful humanoid) that controls this phenomenon. Since then, many myths and legends have developed and grown from one another, intertwining in a complex fashion that result in religions and belief system with rather sophisticated stories. Plus, let's be honest, it is quite comforting to believe that there's some all powerful being that watches over us and listens to us and promises us life after death...who wouldn't want to believe it?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank You for your answer. You are saying that God belief amounted to a collection of things that early man did not understand or control. You also suggest that it particularly referred to aspects of nature that man feared, ie lightening.This is a common explanation for the God belief phenomena but in my book this explanation appears illogical. Your careless add on to the above paragraph appears to me to be nonsensical. Tom Hanks invented Wilson on his island. Are you suggestion that man created God just to create a fictitious benefactor of sorts. Why would we do that and why would this sustain itself long enough to evolve into organized religion.Let me give you my take on this.God amounted to all that early man observed and felt. God is more apparent in that which man actually sees happening rather than in the mysterious and the unexplainable. Our early primate ancestors were observers, they observed the ways and habits of other life forms, they observed the military strategies of ant colonies long before they embarked on conquest. It is the fascination of acquired knowledge that intensifies our appreciation of what is there. Let me give you a simple example of this. Darwin was supposed to debunk Adam and Eve and the Genesis hypothesis. It did the exact opposite and this was quickly realized within the established, Abrahamic Churches. Millions of years of evolution and nurturing and progress were far more wonderful towards engendering awe for God than the original story ever was. We can now use dinosaur bones to travel backwards in time for tens of millions of years to the amazing spectacle of Jurassic Park. Our sciences move us outwards into the unimaginable vastness of the cosmos while their microscopes bring us down into worlds we can only imagine at. God is revealed in the potential of the known rather than in the vague trepidation of the feared. It has always been so.I do not believe in a personable God and your introduction of same to this conversation is a diversion. ie you say'All powerful being that watches over us and listens to us and promises us life after death...who wouldn't want to believe it?''We need to stay on point on this.We agree that the theologies of our modern religions have evolved into narratives that completely obscure their origins. Let me extract from these libraries of fiction, some simple truths. God is seen as awesome, omnipotent, all present in most if not all religions. God is a wonder and a mystery to mankind. If you go back to the origins of this phenomena you find early primate man attempting to contextualize his being within what he sees. I believe that all life forms do this in their own unique ways. I believe that these life machinations create 'a vibe' that is perceptible to all and that is shared by all. We share chemical affinities with the hard landscapes of our world and we share basic biological and psychological traits with many of the higher mammalian life forms. Early man attempted to build his perceived role within this cacophony that presented itself before him. Man felt God and he made his attempt to engage with it.I cannot be descriptive about God in a theological way. I am an atheist and I do not believe in any particular God. I can however experience and feel God in every action of my life, be it work, sickness, leisure or whatever. There is a cohesion within God, there is a magnitude within God that makes me appear insignificant and humble and there is a belonging in that all of God that presents itself before me is recognizable within myself,,ie be it chemical, biological, or emotive.I will address more of your early submission later, but this is already becoming unreadably long.
