How did humans, out of all the animlas, come to desire the Divine? In some cases to desire it over life itself?

As the first answerer said we can work with abstractions. Gods take the form of super parents, creating us and instructing us in their particular morality. The original tribal unit would have been small, probably consisting of one or two families with a matriarch or patriarch at its head. Gods would have been a reflection of that, a supernatural matriarch or patriarch to look after the tribe in a hostile world, often they may have been ancestors deified. As our societies got bigger so did the gods.


As for why we can work with abstractions, that might be involved with the development of language, which uses symbols. Once we could use symbolism the rest is history.How did humans, out of all the animlas, come to desire the Divine? In some cases to desire it over life itself?
of all the animals, we have the most ability to work with abstractions.
