Homo Habilis: nick named 'Handy Man' were the first true humans on the planet and lived almost 1.8 to 1.6 million BCE. They also lived in the Stone Age and were very good at the making of tools. Africa was home to these humans and the evidence of their existence is overwhelming.
Their tools were mainly made of stone and we are quite sure they sheltered under cliffs, whenever possible. It seems they also camped from site to site moving about the area's in search of roots, fruits, nuts and vegetables that they found growing wild. They also had to survive many dangers from sabre-toothed tigers or cave lions and although they did not know how to make fire, they did know animals were afraid of fire. Because they did not have the skills to make fire they had to wait until they found something burning from natural causes, set aflame, for example, from lightening. They could then move the fire from camp to camp hoping the flames never went out. If these fires did go out then they went without until fire was found again.
Remains of their campfires have been found and dated. Scientists have found stone tools at these sites! Animal bones have been found, as well. Technically, although animal bones would be called "trash", they indicate that Homo habilis man hunted game and/or scavenged fat-rich marrow from bones. These remains also tell us that Homo habilis probably did not stay in one place very long, but were always on the move, in search of food.
With the above information Homo Habilis never worshipped a single God that most faiths do today. However they would have become superstitious over time, after all they were about for 1.8 million years. Fire is what most believed was worshipped because it was used for warmth and protection from wild beast. Now coming to the point I want to put is after 1000's of years their belief's 'like mans present belief's' made mankind no better or worst. In fact they survived quite well for nearly 2 millions years without the words of a sinreligious books as we do today. This should also prove they needed no single God or faith in all their history BUT STILL SURVIVED over a massive time difference than our present single God era.
This is just one reason my believe in a God is nullified. Over the past 6000 years of a single god belief our lifes are no better than before, like the Homo Habilis. We murder, slave, divide folk and even put our own women down. We can be so strong in belief of faith that we close our ears to all rational ideas. Man should have gave up the myths of all religions years ago, our intelligents tell us this and our research confirms it. Could it be that many humans have a metal block in their mind that has over time become the norm? We can only wonder.
This is only one of the many reasons for my distaste of religions. I intend to put forward other reasons in the near future.
