People would eventually create one, it's just how people think. It's almost as though it's built in to our genetics. Could it be that God really does exist? Ok i for one believe in God and I have always desired the Truth of who we are as a human race. We're far too complex to have just evolved all by ourselves.

I am saying if religion was never created. I know if one person did not come up with it another would have thought of it, but then religion would be created.

That's an interesting question. I think there would be a whole lot more chaos. Religions keep thousands of people settled down and busy.

it's almost as if we were formatted to lie about some creature that made us? or did that creature find it more or less "correct" to give us a hint, so to speak
i doubt a "god" exists, but i do believe that in fact? prokaryotes didn't find it a good idea to join up and make...living things.
Ahh dear Cyrus ... heh ... It can only be conceived as a lie if one does not believe in a God to begin with. However, for those of us who do believe in a God it is then no longer seen as a concocted lie but our spirits awakening to the reality of who we really are. Human beings are Spiritually evolving more and more both in spirit as well as intelligence.
something doesnt click, *sigh* someday we'll find the truth, it is out there somewhere...and if we really are *stares at the floor* an experiment in some lab, and this earth is a cynical cage, then undoubtedly the "owner" will get too bored one day

errrm, ok.
sapphire??
i think your theory is sound, i also think both our theories go neck to neck...not being competitive, just trying to resolve common sense into all of this
so we...as a species, are stuck to the laws of gravity, cannot defy them without help from our wit, and eventually prove ourselves ultimately BOUND even now, 2000years later(questionable), after we were officially instated on earth and visited and were given a benchmark we are still bound to these three dimensions.
there is so much we dont know on this earth...i the Cyrus, have so little to offer when compared to the rest of the world's info put together.
knowledge is power, power is force...so shouldn't knowledge be our 4th dimension??
