"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. But all nature cries aloud that He does exist that there is a supreme intelligence, an immense power, an admirable order, and everything teaches us our own dependence on it." Voltaire; There's no doubt that even if God doesn't exist that billions of people believe he does, and most think he's benevolent; however, if he was a "supreme intelligence," either he inspired the Bible, or remained silent, giving tacit approval for the belief that he inspired it!
