>>13185318>>331624105My belief is that the concept of God is the product of human beings first developing the language centers of the brain and the resulting evolution which occurred after gaining that ability opened up an entirely new level of consciousness. The level which allows you to speak to yourself in your mind, like you might be doing right now reading these words back to yourself. Human beings could not grasp this voice was their own, and perceived it as a separate entity. Their attempts to explanation this phenomenon manifested into the concept of God(s). And because this didnt occur across the spectrum, but rather, in some and not others, some individuals began to subscribe to this concept of God(s). As more and more of these individuals began to express this feature they were able to discuss it amongst each other, and would eventually form religions. Because these people had an additional plane of consciousness they became smarter than those who lacked the ability. Naturally, the more evolved became leaders of their community, influential people. The people who lacked the ability looked to them for answers and followed. The religious leaders sought answers to life's great questions: what is the purpose, what happens when we die, etc. As more and more of these evolved people were born they saw these established religions who had built up traditions, laws, and provided answers to many questions throughout previous lifetimes. Essentially, it served as a save function, so more and more of the 'enlightened' sprouted up, they continuously resumed the work of prior generations, continuously evolving human beings.
Tens of thousands of years later and here we are: 80% of the population still don't even have that ability.
