Imagine a creature evolved with much more developed senses: to see not only the light of the sun, or the sound of the world around it, but also to sense the photon of that very sun light, and to sense the divergent and convergent waves of sound; or a creature that watches an apple fall from a tree and can actually sense the gravity that pulls that apple down: imagine: the profound type of consciousness that arises from the depths of those senses. Would that conscious mind also seek meaning and reason to fill the void, a void that such an evolved creature can experience beyond anything we can ever dare to imagine? For if we can only see a fraction of the light and a fraction of the darkness, a much more evolved creature not only sees more light then we do, but much more darkness, and perhaps a greater need to fill that darkness with meaning, purpose, religion, a god.
Maybe god is an outcome of the conscious mind that itself is an arbitrary outcome of an evolutionary process which in itself just a natural outcome from the combination of the basic fundamental laws of our current universe in its current state.
