I take it you give no credence to the "God" gene?

Heheh. No. None.

Fear of the unknown (weather, fire, famine, et cetera) was the precursor
of religion. Man invented and prayed to gods to protect him from the
vagaries of fate and nature.

Religion evolved. The gods become more or less humanized in appearance,
and became statues that were worshipped. A few thousand years later, as
man's brain further evolved, the necessity for the physical embodiment
of a god dissipated, and the idea of what god was became cerebral and
emotional.

I will not dispute that billions of people take comfort in thinking
there is a god. But that doesn't mean there is one. Today, the idea of a
god serves the same purpose as it dead for our earliest ancestors, as a
protector from the vagaries of fate and nature, and bundled up in that
belief, an idea that there is life beyond death.

Is man a creation of god? Or is god a creation of man?

One thing we do know for su christianity is a creation of man.

This is the official version? If Dean Hamer's version is open to
skepticism, shouldn't your version be open to skepticism?
(Isn't it somewhat remarkable how some people just 'know' things?)
