Every civilasation before ours has come up with some way to explain life and death by creating mythical figures. Finnaly we are thinking for ourselfs with the evolution theory.

Exactly the people who came up with religion so long ago were just early scientist trying to apply what they knew to the world to try and find an explanation. It's only the blind followers and the corrupt churches that are keeping these early theories alive for their own gain. If you pass a story along for long enough people seem to believe it more the older it is. People even believe the scientologists and they're only like 50 years old. The creator was a sci-fi writer!
