Unless you were with these people 50k years ago, that's just another baseless assertion about "what poeple thought about gods".
The religious narrative, whether you believe in it or not, does go back to the very first human being and calls him Adam, who happens to be a prophet according to Islam. The point is, I only mentioned eighteen centuries to fit your gregorian calendar.

Your use of the word "own" is very misguided and wrong. Allah or Yahweh' or the Christian God are all names for the one central idea of the highest possible power conceivable. The latter idea is not the invention of Islam or something we have copyrights over because we label it Allah. It's something we're wired to believe in, very probably because this same power did it.
You're just playing with words as usual to push the "too many gods so which to choose" agenda. When in reality we all know, including you, that all this wordplay goes back to the same parcimonious idea of the one highest being.
