The atheists say that the idea of God evolved from mythologies about multiple gods, created by humans to account for unexplained natural phenomena such as storms, thunder and lightning, volcanic eruptions. However, such an explanation creates a lot of problems from an analytic perspective. We created the unicorn, a mythological creature. How did we do it? Did we create it unlike anything we have ever seen, heard of, or known through any other sense of ours? No! What we did was, we took the horse, something that is close and dear to us, and we just added an antenna to its forehead, and made it as white as snow! There you go, the unicorn, the mythological creature. What does this mean? Doesn’t this look like, man first knew God, and then later, created mythologies about multiple gods, by corrupting the true idea of God? We have created aliens, drawn them in paintings, represented our ideas of how they look in books, movies, etc. Have you ever seen an artistic representation of the aliens that does not resemble something that we humans have actually seen? It is either a direct copy, or a blend of multiple characteristics we see in different living things or inanimate objects. The point is, man cannot, and could never, create in his mind something out of nothing. A super-power beyond the reach of the humans is by definition beyond the senses of human beings, and we could not, therefore, have possibly encountered it in anyway. If the earliest men saw storms and volcanic eruptions and did not know about any super-human powers, they would have tried to explain the phenomenon definitely by reference to something that their senses had already encountered and understood in some fashion. It is impossible for them to reach beyond the realm of sensory perception, and come up with the idea of a transcendental pantheon of super-powered, divine beings. The simple explanation, then, is that the idea of a perfect God, transcendental and beyond human senses, was not created by men—for it is impossible to do so—but that idea was placed in man by God. The simplest, and to me the only rational, explanation for the mythologies of ancient worlds is that, God created men, taught them about Him through those to whom He revealed Himself, and later, when the divine communication was interrupted, men corrupted it. We see every day how people hear stories and then spread them in a corrupted form, and therefore, it is not just common sense but proven fact that human beings have a tendency to mutilate, interpolate, and corrupt any true ideas, stories, etc. given to them.
