Man created God.

@BlueVeins ...in his own image. "God" is a fiction, invent to explain the unknown. As man's knowledge increases, "god" becomes redundant.

@Sharon You are a bravely arrogant woman! Human-kind's knowledge is vastly over-rated when compared to the infinity of the universe. If science can explain our being why can't it explain how we came to be: The world is here, all plants and animals live in it, why is it so diverse yet so bio-dependent? All of that happened from microbes who 'decided' that they would part ways into different environments and develop differently? As though they had thought and planning skills. I suggest you leave your mind open to the concept of God (Good)and marvel at the unknown that surrounds you. Marvelling is the gift that God gives us - enjoyment of His world! Until you can say for CERTAIN, "There is no God.", don't presume that we are all fools and you are not.

Some things aren't know but there's no point hypothesizing a god to explain the unknown. All that does is add another unknown - namely the origin of that god.

Why would anything need to decide? Anything that didn't develop to survive in a given environment simply wouldn't. No decision necessary.

Pot meet kettle. That's a very arrogant statement from one who calls me arrogant. Why believe it's your particular god anyway? There are thousands to choose from.
