It's caveman style. Oh, we don't understand what we're seeing. Must be a god.
In the old days, it ranged from the sun and the moon, down to thunderstorms and fire. Today, hopefully, only hardcore idiots would argue the sun to be a god. But it's still the same procedure as usual. Only now it's astrophysics instead of lightning.
