It seems creatures have an instinct for survival that is inborn but man has contrived religions and myths to extend himself beyond death as a kind of immortality- my guess is that this is ego driven more than anything and a habit of man to control his risks and enviornment. This does not preclude the existence of a creator force/ uncaused cause. The inability to prove God's existence proves nothing; science is constantly correcting itself and aghast at unintended consequences of human behavior and invention. We may not need Heaven/Hell, but I feel we do need God as a moral barometer however we choose to portray God(s) rather than humanizing this force to lay human foibles and troubles apart from ourselves and our own flawed natures. No man/men could have invented our universe or planet or the countless wonders of nature including human nature. Even when nature is violent and destructive it is no proof of a malevolent god in the same way humanity cannot be considered stupid and evil when faced with its historical mischief but it's too late to ask the dead- even the 30,000 dead Syrians might have questions for the rest of us.
