"Hmmm...what if ancient civilizations created the idea of God, or any deity, in order to explain the natural world because they lacked the tools and/or expertise to do it correctly, and accurately?"
No, they did not create the idea of God, but they thought on truths, facts, logic, and their then history of ideas, as well as they knew of their world, and by their reason and intelligence came to the conclusion that God exists, in concept as first and foremost the creator and operator of their universe then, and man, and everything with a beginning.
Yes, because they had no other method of explaining the world around them, and why they were there. We do now, though, so gods are no longer required.

Nope, I hadn't noticed it...
So, what you're saying is that after thousands upon thousands of years since gods were created, all you have is a concept in your mind, faulty logic, and no real evidence? Why is that?
