So it was not the people of Catal Huyuk worshipping the spirit of the volcano that was the source of their obsidian trade? Archaelogical evidence would seem to support this...
And who taught the Hindus about their pantheon of gods?
The Vedas predate the Torah by about 500 years...
Part B
Therefore, when God created the earth, then at first He created the genie-kind (or demon-kind) to inhabit the gaseous layers of the sky: His religion for them was this First Commandment that God is One without associate or equal.
Then He created three human races: the black, the yellow and the red; to these He sent a large number of apostles to warn them against idolatry and inviting them to worship God Most Gracious. But those apostles we don't know about their names. Most of such messages of those apostles were then perverted and mixed with the association and idolatry.
Then the Creator created Adam and Eve the parents of the last human race: the white or Caucasian race, and sent to them many apostles from the time of Adam and till the present time with a large number of apostles and prophets: the names of some of the apostles we know, while many other apostles we don't know about them; because they are not mentioned neither in the Torah nor the Quran.
This is in the Quran 2: 213
كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللّهُ النَّبِيِّينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِيمَا اخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ فَهَدَى اللّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لِمَا اخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِ وَاللّهُ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاء إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
The explanation:
(People were one nation [of monotheists at the time of Adam],
and God sent prophets with the glad tidings and the warning, and sent down the [Heavenly] Scripture with them, indicating the true [religion];
that the [prophet] might judge people concerning their deviation [from monotheism];
but none deviated therefrom save those [religious leaders] given the [Scripture] even after the manifest [signs] had come to them, due to their 'greed and their wronging each other';
so God, with His permission [or leave], guided the believers to the truth from which they deviated;
for God guides whom He pleases to a standard path [of monotheism.] )
Therefore, when we see some civilization with some distorted religion mixing some heavenly with some idolatry; it is because:
the original monotheism is from God as in the First Commandment, i.e. no god but God;
while the idolatry is because of the perversion of those messages in different languages and different nations.
