There's no shortage of hypotheses on the matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution Alternatively, the gods came from chaos and the gods made us according to the ancient Greeks, the world was made from the dismembered parts of a large monster according to the Sumerians and we were made from the blood of one of the gods who was on the side of the monster, and in Hindu creationism we all devolved from a higher plane of consciousness. It's not like there aren't options besides the account(s) given by the Hebrews.

When you type 'Here' do you mean the third silicate aggregate object that's third removed in its orbital placement around its stellar primary? Cheers. (NOT at work.) 
The reality is that the idea of god exists and has done for thousands and thousands of years, which is a strong enough reason to investigate why the phenomena exists, what function it performs and if it has had an impact on our evolution. Humans do have a hard-wired propensity for systems of belief which itself has distinct evolutionary advantages.
To ignore the facts and reduce the issue of 'god' to does it exist or not is to miss one of the greatest scientific oportunities available to humanity and also suggests that people who chose not to believe in a 'god' or other organised system of belief either have a redundant system in their brain or that they have replace one system of belief with another... which is potentially way more interesting. |
