Judaism, Islam and Christianity are quite unusual in not having a "Mrs God" - many other religions have gods and goddesses that have consorts. In some cases, gods are said to have been born, too - for example Athene, who is my favourite Classical goddess, was the daughter of Zeus and Metis.

Her birth was somewhat unusual. After Zeus had intercourse with Metis, he remembered a prophecy that his children would be greater and wiser than him, so he swallowed her. Sometime later he got a terrible headache, and so some of the other gods chopped his skull in half with an axe (which is also an effective, if terminal, way to cure headaches in humans). Athene, fully grown and kitted out with her spear, sword, shield and armour because she was goddess of war, jumped out - and certainly did prove to be wiser than her father, which is no surprise because she was also the goddess of wisdom whereas Zeus, as any classicist will tell you, was a bit of a dick.

Oddly enough, the myth of Athene is actually older than that of Zeus. She first appears in temple inscriptions from Knossos written in Linear A long before the Ancient Greek civilisation, and is probably a continuation of the even older goddess Ishtar - which just goes to show that gods are in fact created by humans, usually from bits and pieces of older gods, and are put into use as and when they're needed.

All I can say is gods and goddesses were created back in the Bronze Age cause people were not educated in science or biology so this created gods to make sense of the world around them. Not saying that science has all the answers, but at least science go out to discover answers, instead of saying,” God did it.”

No gods have ever been born! A Christian believes that there is only one God, by whos Power the heavens and the earth were Created who was pre existent before any creation, gender is generally and widely believed to be male but there is some room by which a female gender might be given as a description. Some religions such as the Hindus believe in many god`s some described as having animal faces...

What about created
