Ancient men depended on hunting, they would feed their tribe with the meat of the animals they hunted and from the skin they would clothed themselves to get protection from the harsh environment they were living in, their mere survival depended on hunting; it is only logical to think that they drew on the walls of caves such as the caves in Lascaux, France and in Altamira, Spain in an effort to call on some sort of deity that will help them get the animals they were adorning the walls of the caves with and that were so important if they were to survive. I can imagine that if by chance they had a good hunting after making those drawing and perhaps chanting some sort of prayer, a ‘god’ was then born and, as animals often do, they passed that knowledge to their offspring perpetuating that god for generations to come, with the passage of time it acquired new and better powers until it evolved to the gods we know today. Those rustic drawings were the dawn of religion when cavemen gave birth to god into an inhospitable world and just as life evolved on the planet, so did god in all its manifestations.
We can say that god came to life around 35,000 years ago, perhaps even earlier!
