is suppose that the word designer popped up as a consequence of the
theory of evolution. Before that, the word do not existed. God had
created the heavens and the earth, but do not designed them. They
were created. Being almighty, god had not any problem of creating
all living beings, just by shouting like in the case "let be the light"
as told in the genesis. Then, the god called Yahweh "created" but
do not designed. To design is a minor feat of doing; it requires more
intelligence and perseverance than power. To design implies errors,
hesitations, ameliorations; it demands also corrections, and some
evolution of the procedure of making thing we are doing. To design is
human, but the gods do not design; they make things; for they have
superpowers like the children heroes of the cartoons.
But, in the case of ancient Greeks, the gods were so closely made at
the image of humans, that they made nothing. The cosmos made everything.
Even it made the gods, etc. But they spoke about the cosmos as some
inner order around the earth and the heavens, not about some space so
far away as our modern cosmos. Even, the behavior of the gods were
decreed or permitted by cosmos. So the gods were not almighty and
had to comply with some unknown rules of the cosmos. The gods were
capricious and malicious, but a little like humans can be also
capricious and malicious. For the gods in general gave us an outlook
of our kings and leaders. Even Yahweh looks also like a capricious
human king that can get furious and kill us in an attack of wrath.
I suppose that Yahweh have all the attributes of a chief priest that
was watching how the people were abandoning the true faith on Yahweh
and went out to give money to the priest of other gods nearby.
This of course had to be an abomination. Thou shall give the moneys
to the priests of Yahweh and not to priests of other gods.
There is not any need to explain that to give money to the priests of
other gods is an abomination.
