This subject is often avoided in discussions in order to walk an extra mile to show tolerance and respect for someone elses opinions. This was not always the case. It has, however, become a trend, and that started just after World War II. It has now become politically correct to not talk or write about personnel religious views. The result is not good.
A fairly persuasive case can be made that all religions actually began in the mind of man. Human beings have crafted them, in most cases, beginning before there was a written word. The usual speculation is that the process began as an attempt to explain the mysteries of nature and the questions of the prophets and philosophers. For example:
We've a lot of questions about how we got here?
Where did "here" come from?
Are we going someplace?
Where?
A division between "provable reality" and "theoretical theology" developed. Philosophers and theologians continue, to this day, to search for a common ground. Meanwhile the world's population has increased, more people have more ideas, and old religions have divided and sub-divided and changed. In the Holy Bible is a passage that says; 'every living and non-living thing God spake into existence'. Today, advances in scientific research describe the beginning differently; 'Out of a void of nothingness a spark arrived and everything we know, and ever discover, and ever find out, began with that single 'spark'.
Where's God?
