Yes, humans have
always had gods...
It just makes sense for an intelligent being to want some
sort of answer for the world around them.


It is normal to seek answers to questions about the world and existence itself, and further to attribute plausible explanations for everything. The truth is we don’t know the absolute and whole truth about anything, and most questions should be answered exactly that way …”I (we) don’t know.”


Intelligent people ask much better/deeper questions than you posed, including people from ancient times. Like:
Why do all normal people know the difference between right and good vs wrong and bad, regardless of world view? Why is there something instead of nothing? Does something come from nothing? How does infinitude exist in the context of a temporal universe? Why is awareness a universal phenomenon? How can the concept of perfect justice (which I believe in) exist in a temporary and imperfect circumstance? Why is the human condition unified across time, space, and circumstance? Etc.




If
you had been one of the original humans capable of intelligent thought you'd
want to know why things were happening...
Why have the animals we hunt
stopped coming to our area? Why hasn't it rained for so long?
Why has my
friend stopped moving and now acts like one of the animals that we hunted?
DEAD

Intelligent beings want answers and if there aren't any they create
their own.
The easiest and most sensible answer to those questions came from
the invention of gods.
