Joe, at present, humans are a bit like the ants running around a nuclear reactor... really impressive communication skills, telling other ants where food is, helping each other as a society to defend a nest from predators etc.
But they have no conception of how the concrete they live in was made or where it came from... no sense of being on a planet, no sense of where the huge sounds, smells, flashes emminate from.
And especially they have no knowledge about nuclear reactors....
So run this thing on a few million years.... these ants might start to get a bit curious... and will want to name these wonderful things they can't explain... and I suspect they'll use ant language to call it god !!!!
Now compare the human race... running round like a bacteria on a little pebble sitting in a much bigger place, incomprehensible using our current knowledge..... and it'll be another million years (which humans won't survive) before we understand the reactor we're living near!
Well that's my interpretation of the situation you fill with a god and a virgin birth and a burning bush and a snake and miracles, and prophets marrying 9 years olds and flying on a winged horse, and a god that looks like an elephant etc etc......
