As a child I became aware of hearing about God several times before I
realized God was purported to be the creator of everything. I
actually remember the above question coming to my mind and blurting it
out to the Sunday school teacher. She was a nice lady, but I could
tell by the way she avoided the question and the way she continued to
talk, that she had no answer.
Having found the whole "God" concept so untenable at an early age, the
concept's tenacity has been a marvel to me. People love to argue
about it. And why not, anyone's opinion is as good as anyone else's.
The concept seems to have a marshalling effect for those who seek it.
And, by the way, the Hindu religion ignores the problem of creation
and leaves the whole question unanswered with satisfaction.
I think that the alteration of the definition of the term "God",
changing ever so subtly through the millennia, only illustrates how
the human understanding of the universe has changed. God seems to
have been a metaphor, or reflection, of whatever humanity thought
about it's environment from the very beginning, IMO.
