unless you really think God invented them all 6000 yrs ago
He has an odd sense of humor doesn't he? He wants followers who will pick out one religion and one interpretation from all the rest and then be willing not to be taken in by the elaborate hoax put in place by God for just this purpose so that by believing an ancient myth and figuring out the true age of the universe they will not be dissuaded by the apparent age which is heavily evidenced. Quite a selection process. Why not just use his omniscience to pick the blind believers from all the rest?
My conclusion is either God went insane in the lonely eternity before he came up with the idea of creating humans or that Paul and his cronies were a little funny in the head.
I guess fragmenting into multiple personalities didn't provide God with sufficient companionship and so he wants worshippers who will believe whatever he tells them and so this test separates the sheep from the goats, that is those who think vs. those who blindly obey. But why he would create people who can think and then consign the lot of them to hell because of a design failure revealed in the Garden of Eden, saving only those who are willing to stop thinking and do as they are told? Sounds like God is a collosal egotist only loving those who will fawn all over him and punishing in a rage those who don't suck up to him.
As religion amply demonstrates we live in our imaginations. Are they infinite? Could we patiently keep doing science and see what we discover? At this point except in mathematics haven't we found we are always dealing with finite quantites no matter how large? Maybe this is all we can say at present?
