Long before cathedrals, synagogues, mosques, and churches pierced the skyline, humanity looked to the stars, the seas, and the soil for answers. <br /><br />Religion, in its earliest form, was mythology, an attempt to explain the unexplainable, to give name and narrative to the chaos of nature. <br /><br />Deities were born not from heaven, but from human imagination, shaped by the land, the sky, and the fear of the unknown.<br /><br />From many forces in nature to one universal mind. <br /><br />This was not just a religious journey, it was an evolution of human consciousness.<br /><br />Yet in seeking gods above, we may have overlooked what was always within. <br /><br />Religion sought to explain nature, but it was nature that created us. <br /><br />DNA, evolution, and cosmic history reveal a different origin story, no less sacred, only more honest.<br /><br />We are the children of stardust, shaped by the earth, guided by memory, and inspired by myth. <br /><br />The question “Where do we come from?” echoes not only in temples and scriptures, but in our cells, our genes, and our shared breath.<br /><br />In seeking God, we were seeking ourselves.<br /><br />We are the story of God.
