Why?
Many centuries ago, thousands of years before the birth of Christ, human beings were already searching for the Truth. Why? Because they felt the need to get an answer to the questions "Who are we? What are we?" You cannot get the answer unless you know what God is.

Adoring Animals As Gods Was The Beginning
Thousands of years ago, the human beings in their search started to think, "What is the relationship between men and animals, and why should men worship animals as gods?" They made that mistake. The Ancient Egyptians were adoring certain animals as gods, for example [Anubis|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anubis]. It did not satisfy them, however. How had they come to the point of adoring animals as gods? Because they saw them living and expressing strength. And, instead of understanding the meaning of the phenomenon of life, they simply recognized the shape and form of them. That was a mistake.
