I just read this statement. I would like to know the thinking behind it. Just because there is no documents left from the first humans on Earth why would you assume that they did not believe in God?

CC, that is what I am saying, but just because they couldn't write does not mean they could not have belief or knowledge of God.

Wow i actually had that argument with a friend. he said that people back then had no guidelines or they weren't real humans they were just a experiment for god (and he's not the same religion as me so we think pretty differently)
and i told them that even if they didnt have any guidelines how do u know that god didnt give them special abilities like how do blind people knoe and describe things if they've been blind since birth?
u cant question everything on god though cuz u'll eventually go crazy thres just to mjuch we dont know about him and 1 answer will lead to a nother question!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cave paintings in the Pyrenees and similar aboriginal paintings in Australia - to mention two classical examples- date back to something like thirtyfive thousand years ago. They mark the first stirrings of human consciousness. This has marked a watershed in human evolution in that they exhibit the birth of abstract ideas which to an animal that fights for survival seems to be a useless gesture. Before, mankind was aware that it was aware' we were no different from the rest of the animal world. But since we have evolved to our present mind we have become creatures with a marked destiny; this can be summarised to being able to recognise our creator. All sorts of bizarre religious and supernatural ideas have come and gone since those "eureka" moments to the sophisticated ideas we share to day. The process of humanity being built up to this recognition is still taking place; some would even say that we are in the last days of the completion of this momentous culmination.
Peace

I'm not sure that there was belief in One God I think that there were believes in more than one God. I think that in order to understand the things in nature that they didn't , like thunder earthquakes and other things like that that they contributed to different Gods. To them there would have been a God for each thing of nature that they didn't understand. Sort of like that Egyptians worshiping the Nile because their life revolved around the Nile and the way that it acted. When the Nile over flowed it would decimate their crops and cause hunger and illnesses, When the Nile wasn't as high as usual the lack of water would contribute to the same sort of problems. Since they depended on the Nile for their livelihood and for their very lives they would worship the God that they thought controlled it. I'm sure that other civilizations did the same thing.

The earliest known piece of human writing says simply "Yah is God." That is an indication--as are artifacts at archeological sites--that man has always been religious.

I believe in God. I believe in Bible. i believe in the teachings in the Bible. There's no other book out there that could out do the Bible because it was written by God through different believers in all different part of the world. (How could this writers of different books in the Bible know one thing when this happened long time ago that there's no school or they don't even understand and know each other)yet they wrote only one subject - GOD.

I not assume that they did not believe in god. in fact it makes the most sense that the earliest humans would need god the most, intellectually

I very much doubt that the first humans could write.

Why would you assume they did? Remember, when you assume, you make an *** out of u and me. There probably was some type of religion, but it wasn't god. It was nature based.

There has always been a belief in God, for Adam knew who created him. †
