Here is an interesting book on the subject by philosopher Daniel Dennett: http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Spell-Religion-Natural-Phenomenon/dp/067003472X/sr=8-1/qid=1165680861/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-2479726-3224401?ie=UTF8&s=books
Resolving this kind of question requires a bit more than this little Yahoo space, if resolution is even possible.

Sometime during the Neolithic Age. Small stone figurines have been found that represented fertility. These were probably among the earliest of human 'gods'. I believe these are about 50 000 years old.

when people got board of living a day to day life and wanted to come up with some new irritateing laws such as "no sex before marrage" "dont give birth out of wedlock"
that noone actually listens to now except people who are really seriously into religion.
in otherwords i dont feel like there is any need for god(s) in todays society.

Since the beginning of time. Not the human eye, only heart, soul and mind. Through the prophets too.

Milions of years ago? As in when humans got minds.
We created the concept of God.

When humans first began to try and understand phenomena that they could not explain. Like thunder, fire, the sun etc.
This is why early gods are always associated with natural phenomena.

Some kind of "spiritual" rituals - covering a dead body with ochre for example - are actually pre-human, in that the Neanderthals did it.
