Time before God; the man in the sky
November 3, 2012 at 10:02 pm
(This post was last modified: November 3, 2012 at 10:02 pm by ezak420.)
Was there the shared idea of God before communication techniques such as language, spoken or written? What was the motive behind creating God and religions? What form of expression first brought the idea about?
I only say idea because, God hasn't been proven objectively through the human senses. I mean visually, like you could take a picture of God for proof. "No pics, no proof" applies.
Existence exists with or without you. This is objectively proven because, more then one observer can sense existence.
But, why would something supernatural have the ability to govern the laws of this existence. The fact that anything at all exists gives credence that nature is intelligent enough to exist without God.
How to perceive God through the human physical senses so that more then one observer can visualize it, such as a picture or video.

Hello and welcome to the forums!
I don't understand your post though. The last sentence, is it a question or did you forget to finish it? As it is, I'm not sure what you are trying to say (or ask?).

Under the impression that evolution is the guiding force in the universe, what form of expression first brought the idea of God about? How did humans develop the idea that there is a supernatural force or being outside existence that governs the laws of existence. Was it not until language, spoken or written, that the idea of God was created?

The idea of god, like any other, must've originated in someone's mind before having been able to be conveyed through language. Language is not a thing that comes up with abstract concepts, but it's used to pass them on from mind to mind.
Whether humans/proto-humans developed language before the emergence of mysticism and the earlier concepts of god is up for debate, but it's not unreasonable to assume that the development of linguistic capabilities coincided with other developments of the mental faculties.

The origins of supernatural this or thats trace all the way back to behavioral modernity, circa 50k BC, so far as we can tell.
