About the need to create fairy tales, myths - this is human nature

There's is a fundamental field of information that is the source of our consciousness. Consciousness is not an epiphenomenon of your brain, it's actually something that your brain is tuned into like a radio is tuned to a set of information.

Let's start with the sources of faith.

The human brain is different than brain of animals not only because of  structure, but also because of the body structure - straightened body, smooth fingers, extended communication system and other human body values. There is a lot of talk today about the pineal gland thanks to which the brain developed the spiritual sphere  and this has enabled development probably the artistic sphere like painting, writing, music ect. The development of the artistic sphere made man express his emotions by drawing. Example : drawings in caves     

Wondering why these drawings show only scenes from hunting and not for example from the everyday life of women like preparing food, childcare ect?  Maybe it was because they were performed by men, perhaps because the hunt was related to food and survival ? Or maybe because they believed in the magic of the drawing, because we notice there are only scenes ending with the success of hunting - killing the animal , never the other way round. There are no scenes showing death or injury of man during hunting. Following this way of thought, first time we notice the notion of faith , so - giving a high probability of the truth of the assertion in the absence of sufficient knowledge( according to the general interpretation of the notion of faith). Faith in the hunting success motivated, faith helped, faith encouraged what we observe  to this time  when our faith helps us in many situations. 

In primitive communities, to survive difficult living conditions, each member of the herd cooperated with others. For example, he helped hunt, protect from wildlife, etc. The rules of conduct were simple and not subject to discussion. The breakthrough came when the man began slowly mastering nature - he could resurrect the fire, he learned the art of farming, he was no longer afraid of survival. So people needed new rules to live as society. Religions built on simple tribal superstitions that have not yet had a "theological" character began  to be insufficient for subjecting people. It was necessary to introduce the concept of higher forces which rule the world and require obedience. Religions have also translated many phenomena of nature such as storms, lightning, illness and death. To this point everything seems to be simple.  But why in many polytheistic religions the gods are human? Was it connected with the existence of giants on Earth?

Why does the Bible also talk about giants?

In Greek myths, is very common the motif of the heroes -people born of gods and people. In Bible we read:

1) And when people began to multiply on earth, their daughters were born.

2) The sons of God, seeing that the daughters of human are beautiful, took them for their wives, all that they pleased.

3) Then God said: My spirit can not remain in human forever because a man is a fleshly being; So let's live only one hundred and twenty years.

4) And in those days there were giants in the earth; And later, when the sons of God drew near to the daughters of men, they gave birth to them.

They were so powerful, famous in those old days".  So here we are dealing with borrowing information from Greek myths.

This method of reasoning went hand in hand with the rise of ancient rulers who understood religion to help them to govern. In many societies, kings and emperors considered themselves gods or even gods themselves.

Religions just as other human creations arise, live and die. No one is currently praying for Zeus, the Vikings or the Inca sun god. New religions were formed even in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Some are the inspiration for others of which three Abrahamic religions lead the world.

But when religions disappear, people will return to fairy tales again, imaginary stories. This is their nature already.
