Well, we can't just take dead people by their word. Dead people, much like living people, said lots of crazy things. Also, remember that hallucinogenic drugs have been available throughout all of human history. I have a hard time believing that people would not associate their hallucinations on these drugs with religious beings. Same goes for dreams. Ancient people didn't know that dreaming was all in your head. They probably thought it was a strange parallel universe where the gods and spirits live. Why else would you be able to communicate with dead people in your dreams?
forget about evolution,
Why? It's a very well-founded scientific theory.
step out of the box and think about the human brain.
What about it? Structurally it seems to be an advanced version of the typical primate brain, which is what we would expect.
