Now this is the most feasible. For fantasy's side. Like it. Gives us all hope and promise.

When you cum by the bucket full the way God does, it's hard to think of any one sperm as particularly important. Of course, in the fertilization of your mom's ovum you truly were one in a million. As were we all.

I think a better question is "Why did man create god"
Atheism is a non-prophet organisation. - A dusty old book that I found that must be completely true because someone wrote it down.

You're thinking of God in temporal terms. You're also treating nothing like it's something. And from what I'm gathering you seem to be saying that God got lonely?
Which also infers imperfection. Trait associated to humans not a god(s)
Drich, ya need to do better than, he the god man was scratching his ass and thinking what to do next.
Which now infers that this god needs to change. Perfection doesn't need changes. Mona Lisa viola, that is perfection as is David, the renaissance a reformation to change but by humans.
Creators like Picasso et al are just plain inspired folk.
Now, which the cosmos and meteor showers et al is an imperfection and a possible threat to our planet. How does a perfect god make such an imperfect universe. We can add solar flares to this mix.
Which now goes into this god being mean old son of a bitch that 'created something' that harms or potentially harmed many.
Begging the question of how does a perfect thing entity create only imperfections?
A fallacy for you.

Perhaps to answer what wasn't answerable in bc and early ad.
Bronze age folk weren't professors, they had a tremendous amount of fear.....which assigns the designated fear based religions to.
Think about it as India, the Buddha, a fantastic child wonders outside the safety of his inner kingdom; discovers poverty and other awful things. Comes up with something which is a philosophy based on loving kindness and compassion. This wasn't a fear based movement for protection was his all his young life, until he sought to see what was of his world.
The most frightening thing about the father of Buddhism Hinduism, isn't brick fire death and destruction to those that were non believers.
Then of course the courage of the monks of the Shaolin protectors of their home, and some of us now do yoga, or a form of meditation that comes from that dynasty.
The fear was real, war kinda kills folk. No bogyman there.
Feeling safe allows to move away from a figure head being the invisible leader of 'faith' for those that claim this faith. It just doesn't exist.

Well... I really don't agree with this. The background of he Mona Lisa is far from perfect and David (I'm assuming you mean Michelangelo's, is it's the most well-known) isn't exactly perfect, either. If you mean all this from a purely Naturalistic point of view. I find the expressionism in Picasso's work far more interesting, as it breaks people/things into its parts. Perfection is art is not science, it's just preference.
