Therefore god is a human construct

Almost all are linked, they just link upon different things. It is either
the creature or the creator they link upon.

i know its a dumb assed debate but it is related to the did god create man or did man create god debate
i have determined how ever, that one hand clapping makes no sound ...and that the tree in the forrest makes a sound when it falls irreguardless if someone is there to hear it or not

The chicken came first then they were told to multiply.

Genesis 1

22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

sure that is the bilical intrepitation
what if...you were an alchemist?????
then the answer would be the egg
the philosopher's stone
it is all a matter of previous religious training or beliefs's

So why so many different creation stories?


On the other hand why do fundies claim moral exclusivity when so many other faiths come to create similar moral constructs?

Story telling is a human trait, since I believe that all people have
shared the same history it simply got passed down from generation
to generation, with some small changes over time in the telling.
Writing down our stories has kept many things truer to the actual
events, and with scripture depending on how diligent the scribes
were in getting it all down correctly the stories should remain
truer. Having several flood stories across the world should cause
a little wonder if an event like that didn’t actually occur and that
we are simply hearing the echoes of an event that did in human
history that has since passed into mythology.

and the cultures with no flood myth?

Any justification form moral exclusivity while you're at it?

Stories can stop getting told, and lost over time, it happens.

As far as the other part or your post is concern, you have a point
or a quesiton in mind?
