What amazes me is that people who have such a problem with that, think the solution is to imagine a being that created everything and came from nothing!

As to why man invented the gods, it's not that hard to figure out, but you have to think like they did thousands of years ago. Back then, nobody knew what dreams were, or what the stars were, or what caused disease, or what made the weather, or why the seasons change. There was a lot of stuff they didn't know simply because they couldn't have known them without the help of science. But they weren't content to just say "I don't know" whenever their children would ask these things, so they made up explanations. The easiest explanation would be to say that some very powerful invisible man made things that way. Why did he make them that way? Who knows, the invisible man is so smart we can't possibly know how he thinks.
