DID GOD BECOME MAN

Belief in God

The vast majority of human beings have always believed in God. From the most ancient civilizations to the most primitive of modern societies, religions with God at their center have formed the foundation of human culture.

In fact, the denial of God’s existence (atheism) throughout history was limited to a few individuals until the rise of communism in the 20th century.

Even today, in the secular societies of the West, where modern social scientists armed with Darwinian theories have argued that God is merely a figment of the human collective imagination, the overwhelming majority of citizens, laymen and even scientists, hold steadfast to their belief in God.

Consequently, the overwhelming body of archeological data in sup- port of God’s existence has led some anthropologists to conclude that belief in God (deism) must be inborn and not learnt.

 Although the vast majority of social scientists proposed otherwise, recent scientific discoveries appear to support the minority view that deism is innate.

In an article entitled “God Spot is found in the Brain,” Dr. Vilayanur Ramachandran of the University of California at San Diego said that the phenomenon of religious belief in God is hard-wired into the brain.

Despite growing evidence that man is hard-wired with a “physical facility for belief,” the fact that the concept of God has varied greatly among human societies still leads some thinkers, even those who believe in God, to conclude that religions must be man-made.

 However, thorough research reveals a common theological thread linking the various religions.

That link is the belief in a Supreme Being among the various gods, a monotheistic foundation that can be found in even the most externally pantheistic of religious systems.

For example, the concept of God in Hinduism exists as a single example among many religions, which supports the view that human beings were originally monotheistic and through various degenerative processes became polytheistic.

In spite of its many gods and idols, Hindu- ism has a single Supreme God above all, Brahman.

Traditionally, most anthropologists have concluded that religion de- volved from various stages of polytheism to monotheism, beginning with early man’s deification of the forces of nature,

then, eventually, devolving into ditheism to consolidate all of the supernatural powers into two main gods (a god of good and a god of evil), and, finally, simplifying into a belief in one god, monotheism.

Thus, religion, according to anthropologists and social scientists, has no divine origin; it is merely a by-product of the evolution of early man’s superstitions, based on his lack of scientific knowledge.

Hence, these same theoreticians believe that science will eventually unlock all of the secrets of nature, resulting in the disuse of religion to ex- plain natural phenomena, and, the consequential extinction of relig- ion altogether. Man’s innate belief in a Supreme Being, however, seems to support the opposite view, proposing instead that man began as a monothe- ist, but in time, strayed into various forms of polytheism.

This view is further supported by fact that all of the so-called primitive tribes, which have been discovered,” have been found to hold a belief in a Supreme Being. No matter what their evolutionary stage of religious development is found to have been at the time of discovery,” most were found to believe in a Supreme God over all other gods and spir- its.

As such, the concept of a single Supreme Being remains in most of the religion’s as evidence that the masses strayed away from monotheism by giving some of God’s attributes to other aspects of creation, which eventually came to be regarded as lesser gods in
