What I meant was that merely saying that god is a creation of man robs him of any divinity. This means that a theist will never take it as a valid point. Yes, it's true in my opinion, but in a debate against a theist they would simply not accept the fact.
If you could prove without a doubt that God was a creation of man, I still don't think they would accept the evidence. Many don't accept the evidence for evolution, and that is pretty representative of religious faith- ignore evidence that goes against your beliefs.
OK.Now we understand each other except the purpose of debating atheism.
Most of the convincing efforts made by atheists will surely fail to convert theists or religious people.
Should that deterr us to come up with God disproving facts? Surely not.
I'm trying to convince that the proof of the man made God is a strong tool (in my opinion a major tool ) which does not,by any means, deny the darwinistic approach so briliantly presented by RD in his TGD but to supplement it ,mostly because his affirmation that he succeeded only "almost "to disprove the existence of God is weakening the very essence of atheism.
