"Man is God in the making,and as in the mystic myths of Egypt, on the potter's wheel he is being molded". -Manly P. Hall
Man is a creation of God, he is His master piece but as the time went by, man got a mind of his own and this mind helped him to think deeply and beyond what he can see. He'll destroy everything he wants to, he'll get anything he wants and he'll do anything just to achieve his goals even the worst thing ever.
You know Superman and if you're an avid fan of him, maybe you don't notice the hidden messages of his character and his story. I'm not sure if the creators of Superman got the concept from Nietzsche, the philosopher who introduced the idea of the so called "Ubermensch" or overman or superman/superhuman. Nietzsche believes that "man is something that has to be overcome. he is a rope stretched between the animal and the superman".

If man can make himself into a God then there is no need for a god. Man made gods are only as powerful as the god they represent. The gods they really represent arenit as strong as the God who created us.
