Re: Invented God...
We invented an 'image of God' (in short, an idol or ideology, etc) -

 

It is beyond the capacity of Man to imagine/invent/create the true Divine Reality.

Re:
I like that boy of mine, too.  And my other one (16) who, when he was 7 asked me a "question about life; how do we know that this isn't all a dream and when we die, we wake up."  I said - "Jacob - that's an existential question that most people don't think about till college."  He continues to astound me (as well as aggravate, as is his job as a teen).

Or as my 17 year old likes to repeat
Did God invent Man or did Man invent God?  Anything by Twain, and I'm there!
