I'm a firm believer that religion and the notion of a 'supreme being' was created in the early days by men who realized that mankind would be incapable of ruling itself. They created the concept of religion and instilled a fear of reprisal from a 'supreme being' if man didn't attempt to follow a moral and ethical path.
As fucked up as religion is these days - I have to hand it to them...they did a creative job inventing it. The concept and intention was arguably good...the execution of it not-so-good. What may have started out as a good idea quickly grew in to a corrupted tool used against man...rather than for the greater good.
What I've never quite figured out is how so many in the world today remain deluded and can't see through the travesty and charade of religion and the idea of creationism.
And here we go again - the neverending evolution vs. creationism circular debate.
