I wouldn't call this evidence of a god. It's is merely evidence that most all cultures do have a concept of the supernatural (and I believe this is indeed the case). However, the cause of the belief is to be debated.
According to studies performed on human test subjects, it does appear that the brain is actually wired to believe in the supernatural. When electrical stimulus is applied to specific areas of the brain it makes test subjects feel a supernatural presence around them. Some interpret it as God, others ... space aliens (or whatever else that person interprets as "other worldly"). Why are we wired this way? It could be that God, knowing we needed to believe in him, designed us this way. Or, it could just be an evolutionary quirk. Something that helped us to survive for whatever reason.
So, did God create man? Or did man create God?
