It started with God and then moved on to theories of evolution and the origin of mankind, why do humans have this extraordinary ability to make up stories.

I guess its just human nature to make up things. I have been living as a woman half my life yet I wear men's clothing all the time, and have a beard and am married to a woman and we have three kids together.
I actually told her I was a bank manager when we met, which was almost true, but secretly I go on annual leave to perform as a clown in a circus. When people at the circus ask if I always wanted to be a clown I make up a story I am a bank manager, which of course I am no longer since I got caught out cross dressing as a clown. I hope this puts thing in perspective and makes things clearer for you.

Well, if a story is just a factual account of what happened, and people want to know what happened, then you are going to have to "make up a story" (i.e. write a book documenting the evidence) to relay it. This is the case with evolution. However, a story might also be a fictitious account of what happened, intended to decieve people expecting a factual account, so that they can be manipulated. This is the case with the Bible.

People use stories to entertain, to pass down histories, to teach, to explain the unexplainable. It's a natural form of communication.
"Invented stories" didn't actually start with god and move to evolution.

Stories are only stories if they don't have evidence or proof to back them up.
Making Evolution fact, not a story.
Religion on the other hand, has yet to provide one single solitary shred of credible evidence to support it.
See the difference?

We do have an extraordinary ability to tell stories. Stories either repeated or sung help us remember things better and make it easier to pass information to the next generation.
And I will agree that we have invented many stories about God and gods to help explain things.
But that is not he same as inventing God. God is real.

I think it has something to do with our frontal lobes. You have a good point here. Think about all the fiction novels out there. Humans love a good story.

So the atheist class, demon class, they want to forget Krishna,God. So Krishna gives him such intelligence that he can speak of atheism so many volumes. But he is getting that intelligence from Krishna. Krishna gives everyone the chance that "Whatever you want to do, you can do. I will give you intelligence. So if you want to become atheist, then I will give you intelligence how to become first-class atheist, and if you want to become devotee, then I will give you intelligence also in that way."
