If we are too complex and thus must be created by God, then who created God? A super God? Or is it just us?
A fatal logical flaw?
We created God, not the other way round!
We created many Gods, but One God tries to rule us all!
Hmmmmm.... this is begining to sound like poetry from LOTR...
It wasn't intentional.
I'm not into poetry but let me try.
God created us,
But who created God?
A super God?
Or is it just us?
It's us! it's us!
We created God,
Not the other way round!
We created many Gods,
But one God tries to rule us all!
Hehehe... Any suggestion on how to improve on it?

Re: is this ID?
Doesn't ID implies a creator?

All the complexities and wonder... You forgot to mention diversity.
The diversity that we see which include bad Designs suggests there's no ID. Random variations which gives rise to diversty is common in the Universe and implies no creator.
We created many Gods!

Octopus is a brilliant design, in some ways superior to human.
But is there a perfect design - a perfect complex organism?
ID 'scientists' should look at the big picture - not small parts here and there.
My challenge to ID: find me a perfectly designed complex organism!

Re: What is ID?
ID is a very lousy solution - it's worst then saying we do not know!
If we all accept ID, we are more likely to miss out on better solutions(or explanations) and hence impede progress!
Everytime we are stumped, just say "ID" or "god did it" and problem solved!

Re: perfect design
What's the point of having eyes then?
A perfect eyesight would have help. At least it doesn't have to munch on human mistakening us as seals!

Re: There had to be a first!
Why couldn't you consider that Gods are human creations in the first place?
We created many gods
But one god tries to rule us all!

Re: There had to be a first!
Is there any good reason to believe there is a first (or God) apart from the fact that you NEED a God?

Re: There had to be a first!
That men created Gods (for comfort) is very real to me and to many scientists and people. The Hindus believes their Gods is as real as your One God. So how do you resolve this?
When I ask for one good reason, I meant logical reason. But you only give me emotional reasons.

God didn't need a creator,although with our human minds that is hard for us to understand.
So you admit it is illogical, therefore it requires faith to believe it. Am I right?
More logical I think is that we created Gods to satisfy our very human needs.

Just as some of you don't care that there are gaps in the theory of evolution,I don't care how the world tries to disect the scriptures
I'm getting tired of this. If only you think more than you write...
Contradictions are important coz they can shoot down theories and laws.
That's why I do not accept your religion. To ignore contradictions is to be dishonest with yourself.
Gaps on the other hand may be challenging but are not contradictions and hence do not disprove any theories or laws.
There are so much evidence for TOE that it takes faith not to believe in it. But belief are not absolute thruth.
Those who seek absolute thruth are furthest from the thruth.
So please, seek practical and logical thruth!
