Early man saw lightning flash and imagined an angry being in the sky, so he bowed down and begged for forgiveness. Early man saw the sun travel across the sky and imagined that a supernatural being was providing light and keeping watch on him. Etc., etc.
A pack/tribe leader imagined that this same supernatural being created the entire world and the sky above and told his people... and they believed him. Just look! How else can water fall from the sky?
That is where the original idea for religion evolved from. The observance of natural phenomena without the knowledge of scientific explanations.
