What came first? God or human interpretation>?

I, and others here, simply do not share it.
I maintain also that God is an uncreated Being. Allthat you are stating is that human wisdom "created/imagined" God. That is also Faith...although based on empirical data of various sources.
​
I respect scholarly opinions, but there IS a belief system which many DO share that has God creating humans long before we even had the wisdom to drool...much less conceive of religion.

I knew that you (or someone) would say that!
​
I can't convince you that it was an impartation and not an overactive imagination...no matter what I do! *sigh*! So be it, then.
​
We are off topic anyway. The topic is based on human wisdom typre sources...so I defer......

You are right There is really no empirical or verifiable way to say.
