I have to agree that the word 'god' is primitive. The closest in sanskrit is 'ishvar', or controller, it is not a designation of the highest divinity. I also think the concepts in the bible are also relatively primitive and make more emotional arguments than logical ones. The concept of the absolute truth and it's definition is a much more sophisticated approach to understanding reality as given in the vedic literatures. The absolute truth is defined as that from which everything emanates. Monotheistic thought was around thousands of years before the bible and judaism.
