That's the perfect explanation of how god came into existence. People created god to explain all the things they don't understand yet.
People failed to understand what the sun was so they created the sun god.
I actually think the story of the Mayan sun god is a more believable story than most of the bullshit in the Bible and other mediterranean fairy tales.

Are you saying that humanity gained higher powers to something they could not explain? Like life, Sun, Thunder and used the sky as a final frontier because the concept of flying beyond the Earths gravity field was way out of their minds before? So they used something that is unreachable as the home of their gods? :O Try explaining that to BADecker.
