The way I see it,,somewhere down in our evolutionary past our brains got bigger the reasons for this is up for grabs one reason could have been big heads where sexy so the the big headed one amoung our anciestors got all the attention sexually with more big headed babies resulting,,, sorta like the silverback gorrilla get all the babes or something> bigger headed made sharper tools and so survived longer and had more kids because he was a good provider and had lots of babes wanting a piece of his action. the list can go on and on.
Anyway as our heads got bigger we started making tool and useing our frontal lobes more and more,, learning by comparisons making sense of the world through reasoning,, then came the ability to make fire on demand,,, wheels came tumbling along probably after that,, gradually people started telling stories as the tools they made,, gave them the advantage to do so,, they learned to plant seed,, and inventions and understandings continued to grow as the years past and here we are today with an ever expanding world view that is very hard to keep up with.
So somewhere back in time we developed all sorts of ideas about some maker of tools, like us,,humans,, this imaginary maker of tools could be the ultimate supreme one or he/she may be just one of a pantheon of tool makers or gods,,,all based on our limited framework and reasoning ability. We gave these gods human qualities,, some where mean,,, some benevolent and they helped us make sense of the mysterious, and so mythology about the world,, we still use mythology even in science today as in the electron circling the nucleous of an atom composed of protons and neutrons, there is no such thing it is all Imaginary but we still use that bit of mythology because it works for us in our understanding of the world the same as our ancestors used thiers.
Many today have all kinds mythology about god or gods and of course there is no concrete proof they exist. Many find it no problem in the lack of proof,, they just beleive it has worked for them so far so why mess with it. Others see that there is no proof and wonder about a first cause based on the logic that is deeply ingrained, from the observable and ancient past that,,, tools have a maker so perhaps there should be a make but what the hell he looks like or thinks like is not discernable,, does he think like the sun or moon or does he think and feel like a galaxy,, or does he think and feel love like a human(anthopomorphize).
And some wonder not about a god but an indiferrent force and some like to call that god.
Anyway that's my rendition of the wild goose chase,, I feel no need to beleive in a god because I have no valid concept that I can think of,, even though I might use the mythological term god,, what I mean by that term is anybodies guess even mine.
