God? What God?
Shortly after Darwin published his theory of evolution, Edward Tylor, the 'father of anthropology,' published his theory of the evolution of religion whereby religion supposedly evolved from a very primative concept of god to something more complex. Thomas Huxley and Spencer Morgan in England, William H. Morgan in the US, Engels and Marx in Germany, and Lenin in Russia were certain that this was the noose to fit the neck of religion and quickly set about popularizing and applying the new theory. Soon, eager young anthropologists were fanning out across the face of the earth searching for evidence to support the theory. To their dismay and Tylor's horror, they found people group after people group who had an advanced concept of God, and in many cases mentioned a common 'Sky God.' In fact 90% of the tribals peoples believe in God. Below is just some of the evidence available regarding this 'Sky God.'
