Two dictionary definitions:
"the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being."
"a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity."
My definition: A fairy with unlimited magical powers. It uses a magical wand to magically make solar systems and creatures out of nothing. It demands worship and it rewards the worshipers with a magical 2nd life. It's a fantasy for uneducated superstitious cowards.

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
