I believe man made god to explain the universe. We know considerably more than our ancestors, yet as far as I understand it they were no less intelligent, simply ignorant. Man invents make belief characters to explain things away. Take the tooth fairy - we tell kiddies about the tooth fairy, they believe, until their ignorance is relieved. It's man's way of coping with the infinite.
