Religions were usually closely associated to whim and fancy of the affluent and the influential persons in the society. Religion gave politicians and the rich individuals the tools to control their workers and servants. Crafty individuals cleverly exploited the ultimate human fear of death. Their objective was achieved by creating an abstract concept of Heaven and Hell so that they could induce their workers to maintain loyalty and obedience through the fear of sin and death. They used natural acts of nature to authenticate their ingenuous fabrication. They convinced the gullible workers that these natural disasters were demonstrations of God's wrath upon them for their various misgivings from time to time. A typical example of such a fabrication was the mythological story of Noah's Ark and the great flood.

Is it true that many different beliefs are held concerning the origin of man?
There are many theory's about the origin of mankind. I don't have a central belief the beginning of the human race. I believe in both science and religion. A supernatural force of some kind (God, Allah, Yahweh, Brahma, etc) made space, planets and earth. Then we evolved from monkeys and became human. In the western world there are two central belief patterns: That of a creations story and that of an evolution story. The origin of mankind could have easily been that a powerful force created man and let him live or that over millions and millions of years evolved into the modern man. Neither story is completely provable as of yet although one story relies predominately on faith and the other story predominately on science.
