It likely requires very little brain capacity (in comparison to what we would call advanced brain functions) to form such a concept... hence you can see small children (read: 4-5 Earth years, maybe earlier) with god concepts. At the most... it takes little more (if any more) than the ability to have language. I have no idea what it takes to form a god concept at the least... but it has been demonstrated already that we are not the only species with language.

You missed my point. There IS NO THOUGHT in such a concept! It's the most brainless explanation for anything. Instead of trying to figure out what lightning is and what causes it, you simply say "God is angry and he is throwing thunderbolts!" That's easy! You don't have to do anything to come up with that idea. "God did it!" explains absolutely anything. Experimenting, testing hypotheses and trying to determine what causes lightning is hard. THAT requires "enormous brain and thought capacity"!
Actually, it does require thought (else it couldn't be a concept...). Just probably not much of it
