A General History of Man’s Thoughts on God and the Universe
Once one knows the history of man’s thoughts on the subjects of God and the Universe, one’s belief or disbelief in God becomes clearer. In the Western world, the first belief was polytheism. This is a belief that God created the universe by becoming the things He created. All things thus became idols and were worshiped. Polytheism was replaced by the monotheism of Abraham. Moses describes monotheism in the Genesis of the Old Testament saying that God created the universe in six days after which God rested on the 7th day. Since God is timeless, the six days represent the initial phase of God’s creation of the universe. And, rest represents a new phase of the creation.
A new phase was detected by Christians when Jesus Christ taught them and said, “I and my Father are one.’ This saying allowed man to view a monotheistic God scientifically. This saying became the Christian Trinity in 325 A.D. --- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then, in 1440, Nicholas of Cusa converted the Trinity to science --- one, equality, and union. Then, in 2006, I prove scientifically that God exists and connect God to all things in the universe logically — many, different, and related. Since the universe is constructed out of spiritual atoms, the origin of nonliving and living things are known. Using numbers, we see that God and the universe are unfolded through the Trinity with the triangle numbers 1, 3, 6, 10, ... etc.
In the 17th century, the universe became godless when Isaac Newton created a Euclidean universe. His universe led to many followers and initiated the 18th century Enlightenment. But, in the 19th century, Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866) prepared a new paper ‘On the Hypothesis Which Lie at the Foundation of Geometry.’ This paper says that Non-Euclidean geometries exist. Based on Riemann’s paper, Albert Einstein developed his famous relativity theory, which destroyed Newton’s Universe. Today, new godless theories of the universe are sought by astrophysicists. Examples are the Big Bang, string, and order/chaos theories. Further, a godless theory is being sought by biologists to explain all living things. But, the origin of living things cannot be explained, In my book on The First Scientific Proof of God, I say that all things in the universe have their origin in God. Furthermore, all godless theories have something in common --- the universe has an end. But, a universe, which has an active monotheistic God, has no end.
Since there is no fence on which you can stand, what is your choice, a universe with God or a universe without God?

The sum total of your ideas and declarations are based on the assumption that everything that can be known is known (An assumption religions have stumbled upon time and again, and have consumed a lot of crow because of). It's the penultiment of egoism to assume that humans are currently in possesion of complete, universal knowledge--that we can, therefore, formulate conclusions and declare items and events as factual. This is a better descriptor of a "god" rather than falable humans, who can really get anything right when all is said and done. Check your ego at the door. Go fishing. Play with the grandkids. Go out and order a pizza with everything on it and wash it down with a really delicious beer. Live life.

Respone to abraw.
There is no question that sociality is a created possibliity that God included in every human. But, sociallity is 'numero dos.' 'Numero uno,' which is God, must be highest subject for the human mind.
To focus one's mind away from God, when God is unknown to many people, is troublesome to me.
One cooks before one eats and one buys the beer before one drinks. When one buys into God, that person must know the kind of God that he or she is buying. Today many people are buying a God who does not even exist
I get the message but feel that God can be known better by many more people.
Just as the wine gets better in time, although God remains the same at all times, all humans can find a greater and greater God if they search.

Why must God be "the highest subject for the human mind?" Certainly you can't mean each and every human mind. We are individuals, which is contrary to what religious institutions would want everyone to believe. Being individuals we harbor unique representations of what a god really is and stands for, even among persons of the same religion and denomination. How many people populate the Earth? That, I maintain, is the same number of religions that also exist upon this crust. Or, as many believe, we don't need god as a factor as we try to calculate the equation of existence.

Response to abraw.
There are many reasons why God is the highest subject to the human mind. The general reason is because we think rationally. We could not think rationally if we did not think about God and used the integers 2,3,4,5, ... etc. in our calculations. The integers 1,2,3,4, 5, etc, is a rational set of integers. All integers have their origin in the 'oneness' of a monotheistic God.
The possibilitiers of all human minds are equal because God creates all humans equal. Each human evelops differently. Some people become singers. Others become baseball players or mathematicians.
Some religions still view God as the ancient people viewed God. But, as time passes, human knowledge about God incrases. So, our view of God today is very different than the view of the ancients. Unfortunately, some religions are not progressive with respect to developing more knowledge about God and the universe He created.
People can develop different views of God. But, these different views are unnatural because God is one and is thus the same God of all people. All different views of God are the result of 'inconsistent or irrational thoughts about God.'
There are many religions because religious leaders seek money and religious power over their followers. Since there is only one God, there can be only one true religion.
God is necessary being to all being that exist in the universe. God is needed by all humans because the spirits of all humans are immortal. Only God is powerful enought to make our lives eternal.
