Скачать или смотреть What Is a God? How Humans Defined Divinity, Power, and Meaning

What is a god, really—and why has every human civilization created one?

Across history, gods have explained lightning, justified wars, inspired cathedrals, and helped humans make sense of a chaotic universe. From ancient animism and polytheistic pantheons to monotheism, philosophy, and even modern ideas like algorithms and simulation theory, the concept of “God” has constantly evolved alongside us.

In this episode of What Is, we explore what a god means psychologically, philosophically, and culturally. We look at how early humans turned natural forces into personalities, why societies shifted from many gods to one, and how modern thinkers redefine divinity in a secular world. Is God a literal creator, a moral framework, a cosmic programmer, or simply the name we give to the unknown?

This video isn’t about telling you what to believe—it’s about understanding why humans keep asking the same question, over and over again.
