Well, put very simply, without God none of this would be here. So yeah, we kinda do need God as long as we wish to keep existing.
That's a hell of an assumption. Are you going to be providing any evidence or rational source material for that statement?edit on 2-4-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

If you're hung up on evidence, you won't have an answer until some breakthrough is achieved by the most brilliant of our scientists, and you might as well just wait until that happens.

If there is anything that can be called the source of all of existence, I would liken it to a single mind-boggling line of code that defines and dictates the behavior of the chemical language that composes the poetry we perceive as the manifestation of this universe on all of its levels both detected and undetected by our weak organic senses. Just as any language that exists today has a lexicon, an index, determining the behavior of every element involved in the expression of said language, so there is a code that determines the interactivity of the chemical hierarchy that comprises this existence.
I would not call it a god though.edit on 2-4-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
You are assuming however that the observable universe is all that exists.
on all of its levels both detected and undetected by our weak organic senses.
And you could go a step further and ask yourself where this code came from.

It is common agmonst Ats thread writers and posters to refer to God and the general connotation is that God is the creator of life on earth. Now what God actually is will often lead to emotive debates.
I want to in this thread ask the question who created God? Of course this presumes that God is a real thing of a humanly describable or non-humanly undescribale form.
If God is truely an inventation of the human mind then the answer is quite simple that humans created God.
If not and there is actual in fact something of a separate intelligent force to humans with power enough to create the world and everything in it, then the answer will be completely different.
So take a seat in the chair of the greatest mystery of all and ponder.
So who is God?
And who is Gods Creator?

Evolution is god's creator, as shown in the fact that we evolved not only consciousness, but vivid imaginations, an uncanny predisposition to superstitions etc. Though probably the big bang before that. God is a very recent product of evolution.

I think all life from insects up were designed and made by Aliens. I cant see how firing electricity into a pool of biological slime can make complex life grown.
Imagine if i took a bunch of electrical components and zapped them with electricity this iwll not lead to a computer being built, no matter how many times i zap it.

Are we talking about the deity who watched for 150,000 years or so while man did whatever (and did absolutely nothing), but then majestically made himself known to the poor desert people in the middle east?
Why didn't he make himself known to the Chinese, or the people in the Indus Valley who were a little more sophisticated and educated?
Because uneducated bronze age desert people who think the epitome of sophistication is getting a new shepherds crook are more likely to believe in superstitious nonsense.
"Why does the sun set?"
a.) Scientific, and logical answer
b.) The sun god makes it happen
Which answer would a bronze age desert dweller go for?
Which one do you go for?
