Hmmm not to toss a hook into the discussion here but if we look back upon all the writings of men and the references to the "GODS" we do find that they all agree on one thing and that is a long time ago they came from the heavens to create mankind. Could it be possible that all the dif races here were indeed planted to show the universe that dif races could or would live together? We are a race that mimics are forfathers and we have this incredible urge to seek out new and unique places to live. Even now there is discussions of a Mars colony. There was a book I read a few years ago that all I can remember is it refered to our planet as an experiment. It even went as far to suggest that this may be how the Universe is seeded with life.
That our life here is unique but not to the universe. That our "Father" is indeed universal and we are just another planet they found that can supprot life. I know it sounds far fetched but it can explain alot of the different beliefs from basic wiccan to Muslim. I wish I could remember the name of the author. it was a GREAT book. It makes you think.

hmmm? Even if the goddess was the first type of worship, it is still only an answer to where worship on earth started. There is still no ultimate answer as to where she or other's came from, nor do i see it as anything more than something one might want to study out of interest. Who were these god's god's and who were their god/ god's etc.?? for one to find and understand, if possible, the beginning, one has to be able to find "the core" of where or what transpired at the beginning of something - be it life or of other nature.I think we will never know while in this form.
