I've found out- by watching too many Discovery Channel shows and reading various history/anthropology books- that the oldest god relics, that have been dug up, is actually a goddess figure. It seems that they came up with this goddess on simple observation alone. (only females bring forth life in humans and in nature). Thousands of years before the Adam and Eve God, Jehovah. But familiar stories that are also found in the bible. A flood to cleanse the earth, a son that will be the new god from a virgin, it goes on and on. If Jehovah is the god of your choice than celebrate that, but choose your god/goddess by looking at unbiased literature.
Venus of Willendorf, 30,000-25,000 BC
p.s. I don't think I was quite ready for this forum after recently leaving the jw's, I think I would've had a meltdown!
