Humans create a being to explain where everything came from. But it does not answer that question. It just pushes out a level. Where did god come from? How did he come into exsistence?
I guess it easier to believe some imaginary creature just always existed than to believe what we know exists just always existed.
When I was a little boy, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised, the Lord, in his wisdom, doesn't work that way. So I just stole one and asked Him to forgive me.
