CD,

You want to know where it all started. When and why people started believing in God or Gods.

You are apparently doing a lot of research into the issue, so surely you have come to some conclusions by now.

What is it that keeps people, who obviously do not believe in God nor have any inclination ever doing so, asking these kind of questions. What is your fascination with religion? Do you really want to know? Is it just curiosity? Do you think anyone or anything is ever going to give you an answer that satisfies you?

I can give you a very different answer than some of the more religious people on here, but it will all end up in the same questions from you....."can you prove it, where is it written down, where are the scientific facts?"

So we'll go round in circles as usual. You are right and you are wrong. Same old same old.

If you start a thread like this, you will inevitably invite those that are religious to give their input, and I'm sure you expected that that could happen...surely you are not that naive.
