On this world if humans ceased to exist would god cease to exist?
November 10, 2017 at 1:52 pm
With no humans, what's the point of there being a god?
No one is left to need god as an explanation.
No one is left to need god for guidance.
No one is left to need god for morals.
No one is left to need god for reward or punishment.
No one is left to give god praise and worship.
Makes me believe that god just appeared when humans needed the concept and will disappear just as quickly when there is no need.

God could still play Boggle with the Angels. Or make some more humans, I suppose. Who knows what other irons an all-powerful being could have in the fire.

To answer the title of the thread, OF COURSE. God/gods/deity claims did not exist prior to our species evolving, much less 4 billion years go, much less 13.8 billion years ago.
Humans make those things up as a gap fill and sell those claims to their children long before the kid can critically think. Our species will be long extinct prior to the estimated 5 billion year lifespan of our planet. We will have another mass extinction event that will wipe our species out. When humans go extinct so will their religions, superstitions and claims of God/god/gods.
Yes, it is all in our species head, and no place else.

What is "so arrogant"? Explain why a nonhuman world would need a god. On either side of human existence.
