God is the concept of a creator. To say god is an alien is to go right back to square one.

Who is this "we" you are referring to? Scientists and scholars accept that humans are animals. If you looked at a human cell versus a dog cell under a microscope you wouldn't be able to determine which is which.

Electricty is not always there.
So if you can't see it, might not be there. Don't be standing in water when you check, to see for sure.

Obviously thats the part you disagree with![]()
You know, with the thread title and all![]()
My point was that even in the christianity, God is defined as being omnipresent. Meaning, that no matter what, God is all things. So, in that context, it is quite literally impossible, for anything to not be God, though not exclusively (obviously!).
It seems you are using christianity, specifically, as the foundation for the post, so that is why im sticking with it. i could claim myself a christian, but most practitioners would/have considered me a hereticRegardless of that, even within the technical christian belief system, whether we were created by aliens, trevor, or the FSM, they would all be considered parts of God. The idea of something being omnipresent is the point i am putting forward. If something is always present, everywhere, then it is all things. So, regardless of what process happens, who makes the specific process begin, or how the process happens, it was done as a part of God (in this context).
Either way, i think you would find it rather interesting to do in-depth studies of comparative religion. The notion of God put forward in this thread seems to not only be based exclusively in one religion, but in others limited presented context of that religion.
