True Being

God is a true being.

What intrigues me is that someone would ask this question in a serious manner.

If God were an invention of man's mind, then who invented God? All we know of cultural history evidences that man's existence has been intricately involved with God. Have we been suffering from this mass delusion since the first modern Homo sapiens appeared on earth 120,000 years ago? For those who believe that God is made up so that people can feel better about themselves, don't you think that in the past 120,000 years or so we would have come to feel better?

What is proven is that as far back as 2500 BC, civilization has worshiped god. As man's intellect evolved, that part of the brain, the frontal lobe, the area of "second thought" or reason, understood that God exists. It may have been the god of fire, Zeus, or the god of rain, but it was still God. As the ancient civilizations built their stone structures and the pyramids, they were constructing monuments to God.

There is a document, The Birch bark letter no. 292. This has been roughly dated to the 13th century, composed in an old Finnic language. It reads: "God's arrow, ten [is] your name This arrow is God's own The Doom-God leads." The Myans built their religious centers, the stepped pyramids, between 1000 and 800 BC. Stonehenge, with all it's mystery, was a burial ground and a place of worship. This was built around 2200 BC The Odessy by Homer was written in 800 BC. In book V of the Odessey there is this "and now, as Dawn arose from her couch beside Tithonus..the gods met with them" So again, who invented God, and why are we still believing? The Book of Job, from the Hebrew Bible, was written within the time from 2650 B. C. to 2250 B. C "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?

Tell me, if you understand.

Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!

Who stretched a measuring line across it?

On what were its footings set,

or who laid its cornerstone

while the morning stars sang together

and all the angels shouted for joy?

"Who shut up the sea behind doors

when it burst forth from the womb,

when I made the clouds its garment

and wrapped it in thick darkness,

when I fixed limits for it

and set its doors and bars in place,

when I said, This far you may come and no farther;

here is where your proud waves halt'?

"Have you ever given orders to the morning,

or shown the dawn its place,

that it might take the earth by the edges

and shake the wicked out of it? (Job 38:4-13)

If God is invented, than all we know of history is that: what? Is it a lie? Or has the myth been handed down by well spoken story tellers since the beginning of reason? If we presuppose that God is a lie, then where is the reality? Not in history, because it is built upon that lie. Then if history is built on the lie, how about this present reality. Can any premise be believed or trusted?Who invented God? God has always been. How can this be? It is more than faith, it is reality. It is supported by all evidence we uncover from the past. It is what the future is built upon.
