I can save them the money:
Scared little monkeys develop sentience and self-awareness - start to wonder where they come from. They figure out that since it's mommies and daddies getting together that make the babies - so by extension a big world needs a much bigger mommy and daddy to have made it. Some other little monkeys figure out that if they can tell stories about how the world was made - they get treated as special and the other monkeys look after them and do what they say and feed them etc. So they carry on making up bigger and better stories...
So many different stories - so many totally different creation myths... they can't possibly all be right.
We're here - so we obviously came from something/somewhere - but it's not from stories. Definitely not stories and ultimately that's all religion has to offer.
