I don't see the development of religious and scientific thought as indicated in your timeline as evidence of God, but rather as evidence of man's changing views of the world around him and his proper relationship to others around him and to the rest of the universe.

The Mormon view is that Adam and Eve knew it all and that their posterity lost the truth to varying degrees. Cavemen were descendants of Adam who became darkened due to sin. Adam had a language called "Adamic" that was somehow perfect.
In this view all post-Adamic religions are inferior to the original Adamic religion. There is no progress in religious thought.
