Best Answer

The idea of Gods and Godesses arose because people simply didn't understand most of what was going on around them. They asked questions like: Why does it rain? Why do I fall in love? What makes plants grow? To answer those questions they decided that there must be Gods and Godesses that control all of these things, like a Sky God, an Earth Godess and so on. They basically needed answers. It also helps to believe there is a god watching over you when you are, for example, out hunting. It gives you a sense of confidence that you might not have had otherwhise. A sense of confidence that a creature that thinks as much as a human needs.
