Dingus Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 The earth is 4.54 billion years old. Modern man has been around for only 60,000 years and homo-sapiens in general for just a couple of million. Before that there were various lower life forms, and even these weren't around for several billion years. So if god created all this, and wanted folk to worship him why did he take so long to get round to creating us? And why now does he find it necessary, particularly as he hasn't let everyone in on the secret of which particular god he is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I suppose it depends which god you are talking about, the concept of the Abrahamic God wasn't the first and only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 More importantly, what was god called, before human beings had developed language (either spoke, or thought language)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 More importantly, what was god called, before human beings had developed language (either spoke, or thought language)? You're assuming that humans worshipped a god before they "spoke or thought language" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 More importantly, what was god called, before human beings had developed language (either spoke, or thought language)?I doubt whether God was called anything until after Mankind had developed language, for it was most likely after that that Mankind developed God!
