the loch ness monster would never have come into question unless it was invented, that is 100% true, but, god would have come into question no matter what in every part of the planet or universe where there are thinking beings

as thinking beings we always seek the root of things. you and everyone you know has had an independent thought along the lines of "where am i, where is the universe from, how was it created?"

it is the greatest mystery which man has. as soon as man thought to question where the snow comes from, or when children wanted to know where babies come from, they were on an inevitable path to the idea of god. we cannot juxtapose god with any fictitious fairy tale character because we would have never arrived at those characters through the expression of our own humanity, which is to question, but we found the idea of god because we innately questioned our own existence.
