LONG before any god existed. MAN created a need for gods. How else could the ancients' describe events?
"What makes it rain, dad?"
"God does it, son."
"What makes that colourful bow in the sky, dad?"
"God does it, son."
"Why is that mountain belching fire and smoke, dad?"
"God does it, son."
"Why does the ground tremble, dad?"
"God does it, son."
"Why did grandma have to die, dad?"
"We have to eat, son!"
