Did man Create God?

I am much baffled by this question. Did God actually create man or is it the other way round? Of course for those who believed strictly in the Fall theory, God made Adam and Eve. The temptation by the serpent which led to Adam and Eve being banished from the Garden of Eden. This speaks that from day one, men were sinners. But one interesting aspect to ponder upon is if there wasn't a fall would there still be God and man? The answer seems to be no. If you look at this properly it was the Sin of man that created God. Because before the sin and the consumption of the apple, God and man walked hand in hand. God made man in his image. Man did not know he was different from God until he ate the fruit of knowledge; the fruit of good and evil. Man had no clue as to what was good and evil, the two opposites of extremities.

I find this theory very fascinating. Why did God allow the forbidden fruit to be in sight of Adam and Eve? Perhaps he forsaw the Fall and the tumultous world that will come thereafter.

Maybe the God we refer to has been changed so much that God has become everything but the Creator. God is an agent of a greater force; a representative of the universe. A symbolic mythology of the intangible and incomprehensable energy that churns the entirety of eternity.

Well maybe, just maybe. It is the force that creates man that in turn creates an image of God to complete what can't be understood.

Don't get me wrong. I am not promoting a secular world. Human beings are in need of institutionalised religions. But they must have the spritual awareness to distinguish between the corruption of man and the truth of religion.
