Jesus was clearly invented by renaissance Italians, which explains why he looks so much like Cesare Borgia.

What actually is a god?
I have no preconceived idea of what one is so.


Where did it get the stuff for creation?
What process did it use to create?
What is god "made of"?

I need scientifically verified evidence for all of the above and for there to be no other more likely explanation for any of this.

@Boru

Not really wrong..."jesus" has been invented and re-invented so many times that he's a half-human chimaera.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I think you should use logic when it comes to deciding if god is true or not.

1)If you believe something and don't want to provide evidence then it means you can't prove what you believe.
2)If your being is supernatural and people are asking for natural evidence then it concludes either people are at wrong choice or you.Let if people are asking for wrong choice then burden of proof is over you to explain that how you expert to understand supernatural claims.Let if you are providing the right answer then how your assumptions can't be understood by multi men?
3)If you are impressed with the existence of him why all other people are unable to understand that?Why your belief is not universal in nature?
4)If 5 billions people is evidence then reality should be understood by numerical magnitude?It means that how fermentation occurs in intestine due to undigested diet is understood by mere medical specialists who have not magnitude of 5 billions then is it wrong because majority don't know it?
5)If supernatural evidences can't be proved by natural means then how you can understand supernatural claims by your natural means of inquiry?

I hope you got it.
I think you should ask yourself what evidence you want from god and then sek it. It makes no sense when somebody says prove god exists without asking what evdince they want.

I’ve stated, many times, the evidence that I require for belief. No one, especially “god” ever produced anything.

Apart from excuses.

That was kind of my point.  To Renaissance Italians, he look like a Renaissance Italian.  To second century Levantines, he looked like a second century Levantine.  And so on.

Whats funny, is that he's not a chubby midwesterner of questionable decent, yet.......

I suppose that he has to stay at least a little bit sexy and exotic, for marketing purposes. Hot Jesus ftw? : shrugs :
