we know matter exist, assuming that god also exist; which came first? if god exist as we know it, then it is very complex. how could something that complicated to be first and before the matter?! so matter had to be the cause of everything . idealism was a progressive idea for the time of caveman. realism is the way for a progressive future. religion is creating more problems and divides people and simply a tool of empire! change and evolution is a reality. we evolve from simple to more complex. that is a fact!

We do know that signs of idealism have been discovered all the way back from the paleolithic or old stone age, but these signs seemed to increase during the neolithic or new stone age, during which stonehenge in England is said to have been built. During the paleolithic age, animals were carved into the cave walls in as realistic a manner as the homo sapiens could represent them. The theory is that they ritualized the hunt, believing that the rituals made it a reality. Later, during the neolithic age, homo sapiens appear to have begun considering earth as the mother from whose womb all living creatures came. The truth is that no one knows how accurate the homo sapiens were in their beliefs and how their beliefs lead us to where we are today, because history can only be traced so far back.

First of all God could exist before matter because God is a spirit and yet man. Deal... Therefore he was,is, and will be before matter. He created everything before the beginning of time. And what is with cavemen being idealist. From what science interprets cavemen lacked the intelligence to even be idealist. They did discover things we still use today, but I'm pretty sure it was because of divine intervention. Religion is not creating problems you just lack the intelligence to realize the concept of a beginning before a beginning.

I kind of figure it this way. Why couldn't there have been both, caveman and men of god? Adam and Eve and their children. Cain was sent away and he met up with a generation of animals that God allowed him to partake and they became cavemen. What was their mark? That's the thing I haven't figured out in this story yet.
