To me, God is just energy. Not a figure. It's everywhere. Inside us, around us. That's just my view.
The concept of "God being created by evolution" doesn't even make sense. Evolution implies an existing ecosystem, and within that ecosystem God would be…a whole species? What?
Old High German was in common usage from about 1,500 to 1,000 years ago.

The Middle Ages began about 1,600 years ago, and lasted until about 1,100 years ago.

You are correct, in that Old High German was not an extant language before the Middle Ages, but they were mostly contemporary with each other.
Some people who lived (mostly) in Northwestern Eurasia at the time, were still using various Germanic dialects, prior to Old High German being recognizable as a language, however.
Incorrect.
The incorrectly used word derived from 'gott', represents a concept peculiar to the religions founded by Abraham. Unless people using a different language (language family), have adopted one of these religions, AND have adopted a variant form from a Germanic language (including English, which is a German dialect) into their native language, then they would have no such word.
Please be more careful before making blanket assumptions and / or reaching conclusions about others.
There are, however, words in most other languages, that represent a similar concept, BUT many people / languages differ markedly in a concept (IF ANY) of a deity or deities.
THERE ARE NO 'GOODS'!
If you happen to live in a place where there is a 'goods and services tax', then you can refuse to pay it on 'goods'. There might be 'good services', but there is never a 'good tax'!
None of the above.
"God", is not a person, place or thing.
"God", is an Anglo-Germanic corruption of the Old High German word 'gott', which simply means 'good', and is used [incorrectly] generically to represent a deity or deities.
The word, 'good', is an adjective.
Full Definition of ADJECTIVE
: a word belonging to one of the major form classes in any of numerous languages and typically serving as a modifier of a noun to denote a quality of the thing named, to indicate its quantity or extent, or to specify a thing as distinct from something else
Full Definition of NOUN
: any member of a class of words that typically can be combined with determiners to serve as the subject of a verb, can be interpreted as singular or plural, can be replaced with a pronoun, and refer to an entity, quality, state, action, or concept
A 'deity', is a noun; a 'good' is not.
Therefore: A deity or deities might exist, but a good or goods could never exist.
Anyone who professes that a good is perfect, is a fool.
You're an infinite regression.
'God' is a noun used to refer to a supreme being or deity.
Language evolves and changes.
The meaning of words can differ from that of their etymological ancestors.
The words 'god' and 'good' differ in spelling, pronunciation and meaning.
You're a noun.
Goods exist in warehouses and depots.
These were built by God for the storage of himself, his family and his belongings, which are insured for acts of good.
You're a warehouse.
It doesn't matter when the blunder occurred, what matters is that whoever coined this term, for this usage, was in error.
They were probably referring to a 'good deity', or 'good deities'.
The problem is, that this has led to a situation where many people do not understand who / what this good deity was (these good deities were), and / or are reluctant or unwilling to discuss or elaborate on the specifics, character, traits, etc. of this.
There is no such thing a a 'good' or 'goods'. There is 'merchandise', are 'commodities' and 'wares', etc.
Incorrect. I am not a 'warehouse'. A warehouse is a structure or room. I am a person.
It's not a blunder. God the good deity organised the evolution of language just like that of plants, animals and dance.
The words 'god' and 'good' are unrelated.

You are a blunder.
I thought that Archaic Divided People didn't believe in 'evolution'. If they do, then this would mean that their so-called good book (which is, in reality, very, very corrupt)is incorrect. This would then mean that this so-called good deity is fallible. How good is a fallible deity?
Please back up your statement that,"The words 'god' and 'good' are unrelated" with proof that they actually are unrelated, instead of stating this as a simple conclusion (in your own mind).
Not to be at all argumentative, but how old a language is Old High German?
I'd have my doubts that was an extant language before the middle ages, but I do not know for sure.
Obviously, man has had a word for god in whatever language, before Old High German, so your discussion is slightly flawed, not that I disagree with the idea that god does not exist.
However goods is indeed a noun, in English. As in "goods" and services, and trade "goods", baked goods, etc.
Pardon my ignorance, but isn't this just a way to be a cunt to people while pretending not to be?
I understand that people have different beliefs but surely we can be understanding of that without ridiculing each other.
Wait wait wait! If god was created by evolution that would mean that atheists would have to agree god exist. Have you asked an atheist this? Since I would love to hear this discussion. Amazing question!
I really want to hear this argument in an atheist/christian debate. It would be funny as hell. I have a few theories about this. Not that anyone would take them seriously in a real discussion since people are rather close minded about this type of thing. So are not willing to listen to simple logic. My theories are
1.God was simply a man that did a lot of good so became like Budda and is now worshiped as god(either was very giving/or a (scientist/doctor that cured illnesses and fixed things) 2.Was some type of creature like a human but not human
If its the first one it means god does exist. Since it is peoples god however its not "God" in the traditional sense of the word.
All atheists believe that god plain and simple, doesn't exist. That's exactly what the word, "atheist" means. If you believe in any god, in any way, shape, or form, you are not an atheist.
Oh I hope an atheist comes across this and blows a lid. I am going to mark this as a fav. They will be angry you just implied god exist by saying evolution created him.
They define God as "something that exists that was not created, and the only thing of this nature".
They think god was always there but can't accept that the universe was always there. They just need that extra layer of complexity.
Who follows blindly are the secularists who lack the intellect - or are too intellectually lazy - to properly delve into the Bible, particularly in the context of Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, Old Testament word made New Testament flesh. Or it's a matter of preferring to be one's own deity, making up one's rules for themselves, rather than having the humility to admit there's something bigger than one's self. God was, is, and always will be. Jesus Christ is His Son, our Lord and Savior, the Messiah, the sacrificial lamb who suffered and died on a cross to redeem us all.
I'm glad you asked this I've been trying to get something similar through moderation for quite some time
