It's curious that you presume to speak with authority on one version of gawds for no other reason than those gawds were the "culturally correct" gawds.1) knowledge has been the peeling back of fears and superstitions that have kept humanity from insight and exploration. Your gawds and the gawds of others have been inviting toward knowledge.Although I'm a fan of science (knowledge) it has proven to be wrong time and time again. So just because science says that "we are not significant or special" doesn't mean a thing. In fact, there are thousands of scientists that DO believe we are significant and special.

What your thread ought to say is that God isn't obvious to YOU. However, God's presence is very obvious to me. The earth and all creation declare His glory. I don't have to see a tornado to know that it ripped through a Midwestern town. The path of destruction declares the existence of the tornado.
Before science the people who invented god said a tornado was god mad at us.
If god is obvious what was the 30 year war between Protestants and Catholics about?
1) Knowledge = Science; therefore, there is no "before science." Men have been experimenting with God's creation since they were first place on earth.
2) Men have been fighting each other since Cain and Abel. War and conflict between men doesn't negate God's existence.
2) What negates the existence of all of the gawds is their lack of existence.
Your misconceptions and/or misunderstandings amount, only, to your personal opinions -- not "knowledge." Just because you've limited yourself to a small, self-imposed, dark and dank prison of ignorance doesn't mean that the rest of God's creation has to.
I think the real ignorance is displayed by those who live in trembling fear of invented gawds.
Fortunately, history proves of the actual and real existence of Jesus Christ. Even secular history (His Story). So, my God is not invented. Just because you hate and reject doesn't make Him a figment of mankind's imagination.
