In man's beginnings there were many gods; god of the sun, the moon, the harvest, fertility, thunder, mischief, love, etc., etc. As man's knowledge increased there were better explanations for many of these natural occurances and the number of gods decreased. I believe that we will continue to find explanations for what is currently unexplanable. There will, however, always be things which cannot be disected and scrutinized and so some folks will always have a need to believe that an "all powerful" God is the cause.
