From before a written language tells us about worshiping suns, moons, etc. usually always from above. I think there are just so many things we can’t explain or even understand so we’ve gotta have a belief in something supernatural. Looking at the photos from the James Webb telescope brings that home to me. Carl Sagan always said we’re star stuff..I can get with that. Jmo.
