Summary "The Creation of God" by Dr. Jacob Hartmann is a scientific publication likely written in the late 19th century. The work explores fundamental questions about the nature of God and the universe, presenting a critical examination of religious beliefs through a scientific lens. The author aims to demystify traditional notions of divinity while advocating for a rational understanding of existence, emphasizing that the concept of God is a construct of human imagination rather than a supernatural entity. At the start of the text, Dr. Hartmann outlines the prevailing dissatisfaction and skepticism regarding organized religion, critiquing its foundations and the clerical authority that perpetuates dogmas. He discusses humanity's gradual intellectual progression, from primitive worship of celestial bodies to the scientific domain, asserting that new truths often battle against established beliefs. Through examples from the history of astronomy and references to ancient philosophical thought, Hartmann sets the stage for a more comprehensive exploration of man's evolution both physically and intellectually, ultimately positing that humans have created their own gods as part of their developmental journey.
