What is the Sikh view of faith and God for people who lived in times when no religion was actually in existence. Lets look at the timeline of human history. We present day humans (homo sapiens) have been on earth for 200,000 years.Yes beleve it or not thats how long we have been around. A very long time. I must stress I am talking about humans who look like us today. Not other species whos timeline goes back even futher such as neaandthals ect. Before us humans there were neandethals another but seperate species of humans who became exinct and before them was homo erectus a even more pre-historic human species. Altogether the were 5 main human like species. We are the 5th one. Homo sapiens. The most succesfull and intellgent species that populate earth today. But the most important part to remember is that humans that are in existence today have populated earth for 200 thousand years. So for most part of human existence there was no concept of religion. The oldest religion or belief system is Hinduism. But that is only 5000 years old. That would mean Humans have been without any form of religion for 195.000 years the overwhelming majority of the human timeline. Civilsation was started only 6000 years ago. An image of human genuis
