The belief in such entity comes from knowing the environment well as a first, and making sense of the timeline we live in. At this point, theistic beliefs come racing to provide their versions and explanations of the "truth".

The problem is to start with the concept of God; and not with the design. In other words; it's not humanity that used oil to power it machinery, but it's earth that allowed fossil fuel to be composed out of pressure and bones.

If oil wasn't inflammable, machines would be useless.
But yes, many humans customize God to fit their perspectives.


Are you seriously suggesting that we burn humans for fuel?????  Just tell me you're just riffing here and this isn't actually in the Koran.

The Quran spoke about wood and its burning though:

Quote:Sura 36, The Quran:
( 80 )   [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.
( 81 )   Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.
( 82 )   His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
( 83 )   So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.

IDK where you got the idea of burning humans as fuel ! I don't think our bodies would make a good source for Hydrocarbons, but coal and wood might do the trick to operate something quite basic.

Consider the other sources of fuel too; all of these are always there for us to use; even the sun gives us energy. Like somebody is pushing us into building, harnessing and using these resources using the power of our minds. Animals don't know how to produce energy on the other hand.
