Not so sure that's true, if God is an abstraction of self-representation in some form, then surely culture and representation come first?

I was just thinking in terms of first man, first woman. Surely there was enlightened "first" who not only became self aware, but also aware of something bigger than himself or herself. I don't know that the obvious evidence of cultural advancement would have instantly flowed freely. Heck, many may have thought such a person was crazy.
