"In the beginning was the word [of God] " was a mis-translation in Genesis from the Greek . It should have been "In the beginning was the conversation" . So that was the basic thing where a few people of power started the idea of God. Thank Darwin we are correcting their mistakes on this site. Apparently Erasmus spotted this but Jerome's mistake was carried forward nevertheless.
