Did aliens cause our ancestors to believe in gods?

All over the world there are stories and theories about whether or not 'gods' existed or whether they were alien beings who descended down to earth and helped humanity in the big leap towards making a universal break through...and there is a show which discuses this issue of whether or not this really happened... and yes their evidence is a little loose but it is still quite interesting to hear

Here is a video of how the ancient astronaut theory might actually make some sense

But even if they are lying, then how did primitive man lift a 200 ton stone slab?

This type of thread is started at least once a week.

Yes, ancient aliens is a topic of interest to many people, you will find many threads like your own when using the Search function.

Regarding lifting 200 ton stone slabs.

Perhaps they didn't have to lift them.

Perhaps they cast them in place like concrete.

Why do we insist on the division between aliens and gods? Is it not possible that the God of Islam and the God of Israel is a single alien deity form that was simply filtered and redirected differently by different cultures?

But then again... take a moment and stare blankly into the stary night. Can we say there are no gods or... that there are not many?

We're not that smart. We do the best we can with our beliefs and sometimes, along the way, kill others so we can keep those beliefs.

Well yeah the show actually had to demonstrate how difficult it would be just to lift 2 tons

If a crane can barely lift a heavy 3 ton block of stone... how did primitive man lift those giant stones in place?

Excellent thinking and quite possible where a conglomerate type of 'stone' has been used. I see no reason why ancient civilisations could not have been intelligent enough to come up with new ways to do things that are similar to modern methods.

Egyptians used a type of cement/glue on the outer casing stones to hold them in place more effectively.. Romans used their own style of cement in many building projects.. so this theory is not without some precedent.

I believe it's the other way around. Extra-dimensional entities have caused us to rationalize the belief in Aliens from other galaxies.
