and you claim you're not dodging the question? ok... ?
you've been using the word god (i can recall at least three times you've used the word) so let's start by however you've been meaning it.
just so you don't think I'm dodging your question, which is in itself a dodge of my question, i will tell you that I'm an agnostic theist. that means i believe that what i know cannot be "proved" bascially by definition. i don't have a definition of God. a definition is a limit. to say "God created the universe" implies a duality between God, creation, and the process of creation; this is an error for they are all the same thing. one *could* use that (God:=creation=all that exists) as a definition but that, to me, is not a definition. so i don't have a definition of God and it's purposefully left undefined, as i wrote, because that would be a limit on what the finite intellect of human can't grasp.
this is now further away from this thread topic and a tangent, but the agnostic part means, to me, that i believe no one will ever give a proof that either God exists or that God does not exist. the theist part is that i know God exists. i probably can't prove to you I'm not an artificially intelligent chat-bot or recording and so i have no hope of proving to you that God exists; nor would i try to because it would take something from you to know for sure whether there is a God.
back to me not having a definition of God, and such, know that I'm not trying to convince you of anything nor am i claiming anything. there is a circularity in the definition of the word set in mathematics (set=collection=aggregation=improper class=family=group=...=set) none of which elucidate what a set is for they are all basically synonyms. yet you can very well talk about their existence and their nature knowing that you haven't defined what you're talking about. it works in a similar way. it's also like if i look in the dictionary under cause and effect i get for cause something which produces and effect and for effect i get something resulting from a cause thus making one wonder what cause and effect really are. yet there is an intuitive sense for what a cause and effect is. so when you answer the question "who created God", try using that intuitive sense of what you think god is. (to clarify: who created god != who created the idea of god) that is the point of this thread and anything else is just crashing the thread. if you want to start a new thread on "can you answer this easily answerable question" regarding who created the idea of God, then by all means... a better discussion would come from why mankind created the idea of God. it's not as obvious in that case...
