nature/tangibility of god(s)
Man created god/the gods to explain the natural phenomena surrounding him. Does this make the gods any less "real" as a result?
Furthermore, once the phenomena they were invoked to explain is explained naturalistically, does that god die? |

So scientific investigation into the nature of life and mind, can be seen as a direct attack on the remaining god. Is it any wonder theists may feel threatened? Just a simple-minded view of a complex subject. |

It amounts to little more than pissing into the wind, but I had been wondering if the man-made god constructs could achieve some degree of autonomy from us, post-creation, as it were.
