Creative Speculation

As we still have billions of humans on our planet who believe in mythical gods, can you explain the evolution of your societies?

I mean, you didn't just "pop" into being right? The planet or moon you are from had it's own evolution within it's solar system. Live maybe began in the seas like earth, or maybe pools of methane or where the lava flows melted the frozen crust creating the first pools of liquid water.

So again since you just didn't "pop" into being except for gracing our presence here, explain the mystical in your society from it's earliest stages and what it took to get over it. Once your kind evolved to a point where you coud question why you are here, why the ground shakes, why flash storms happen how did pre-mature versions of you deal with it?
