Before the God was Created

The concept and the word 'God' were not born when the first human child was born, nor these were found written on a rock by someone unknown. These were created by some human-being (Plato, to be very particular) for some purpose best known to him. But some of us shall like say that he did a great job while others like me feel that he misguided the whole humanity through this misconception. Anyway this is not the issue, I am here for, but for trying to understand what was in the human mind about the creation before the God was created.



The vast creation full of variety of animated and unanimated forms of matter was sufficient to generate a feeling of wonder in the minds of the people, and they must also be curious to know who created all this. Even theory of evolution was not available to them to quench their quest. They must have been a puzzled lot, but for their engagements in solving problems of their own survival. Since, they were wandering tribes in their limited regions, they might have considered the Earth to have boundaries somewhere far away from them. This was why the Earth was considered to be a flat disk before Galileo's concept of the spherical Earth was accepted.



In-spite of all the puzzlings, nobody ever thought that there has ever been a creator of the whole creation, else they would have hunted for him through their wanderings. Neither, they imagined that the creator is sitting somewhere in the skies. That was unthinkable for them. If there were any thinkers, they might have been sure that no creator can ever reside in his own creation otherwise where he was residing before the creation. This logic that the creator, if any, needed a place to stay, and that there was no place available before the creation, must have proved to them that they is no creator even though they failed to understand the whole process - the evolution.

Plato provided a lame cue to all those curious minds of that time by his concept of God, to serve his own vested interest of establishing a psychological rule over the world through misguiding and terrorizing humanity in the name of God, and he proves to be very successful
