Often through a crisis in life, this can have a profound affect on the strength of faith, and give that feeling of a rebirth that is impossible to explain to a skeptic.

If you mean historical man, the answer is lost to history. However, we can extrapolate from what we know about the beginnings of the world's great religions and draw some possible parallels. One parallel would be that a universal educator came to a certain area and claimed he was sent from a creator to communicate to humans how to be happy and prosperous, that his words and message weren't his, but the one's who sent him, and that he would come again and again throughout history to give humanity the creator's message, no one would be left out. This is the pattern that has happened again and again from Krishna, Moses, Zoraster, Buddha, Christ, Muhammad, The Bab, and today Baha'u'llah.

Faith is not the issue. The secret hope of the heart is. Do you hope to find and come to know your Creator? If so, why? Answer those in the additional detail if you like.

First you need to figure out what your heart believes, then research religions until you find the one that teaches most about those beliefs. Then you will be able to ask questions and get answers to fill the gaps in what you need to know to make your faith even stronger.GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS!!

Someone made up something about the dead going to a spirit world and continuing to live and the animals controlling the forces of nature so as to provide an illusion of explanation.
Over time it evolved into the full blown religions that have caused and continue to cause a lot of trouble for us.

Listen to God and Lord Jesus. Asks the LORD to help his/her unbelief, and repent for all of his/her sins and iniquities!
Mar 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
For truly we can do nothing,
Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. AMEN.

Out of the curiousity of the heart, the word passed down, and the existance and responses of God.
