God is basically a product our brain. An idea that has been used and abused to explain everything to stop many debates during our human history. There are many Amazonian tribes who have no concept of a God and yet, they are very happy and content with their earthly lives. I have not heard anything about these tribes being punished for their Godless life.

If we really want to put our Gods in the equation, we should credit them for creating the elements of our periodic table with minute particles. And, the rest should be the history. It (they) did not favor creating any particular animal, we rather got evolved to what we are now. There are plenty of living species disappearing from this planet every day without us knowing or caring about it. We too are only temporary citizens of this planet. And, no more powerful than a crawling blind worm. Thank you all for this great debate and ideas.

Who knows the truth about God? Nobody. I do not know, for sure, how all these around us came into being. Where is the beginning and where is the end? Who knows the answers? There is no conclusion to this conversation. Therefore, differing views on this subject are expected. I go with my own views on this subject; in that - God dwells in our conceptual world. If someone can live without that concept - it should be fine. When I say - God's duty ended after the creation, I mean - the first living-beings were created somehow. I do not know what was that somehow. Whatever it was - the process was self-consistent. Every living-being depends on others for survival. It's hard to fathom how a self-sustaining process could occur without a preplan or design. Once this process started - it kept on going on autopilot.
