Before there was a God there were Gods

I recall graduation service I went to a couple of years ago.  In it there was a reading where it said something about before this named character there was this named character and on and on and on.  The list was long, real long.  I guess some one had the ability to come up with a family tree long before the computer and the internet.  I'd even believe back then people were as smart as today.  Lately I been thinking that I have a genetic thing going on that is generally associated with a smal opulation of a religious group.  That group contains all those names of who came before who.  My thinking that i am not from the small sect directly the gene came before the sect and those gene owners seemed to mate with similar religious.  The gene predates the religion and matings and so predates God.  I do not understand how God exists before folks who came before those who came before and she or who came originally.  The anomaly predates God that is documented as the one who first came before.  And who was documented before God were the Gods.  The if then responsible for what must have been the cause.
