First, let us not worry about the proofs: there are enough in books on science, cosmology, and evolution. (May be in future stories on MB, I may outline these).
Meanwhile, I give the following sequence (the time periods of each phase could be millions and millions of years).
First, the physical things came up, and the universe was formed (dates and the process/theory not being discussed here), lot of matter existed.
Second, then the basic life started, in water and land, simple life forms to more and more complicated/sophisticated ones, and lot of biological species started evolving.
Third, then the humans started evolving.
Four, the humans invented the concept of gods, and religions started forming, in search of cause of several phenomena being observed by them, which in the process became highly sophisticated and advanced as philosophies of the world, with the advanced evolution of the humans themselves, since their brains also evolved.

So, along with the evolutionary existence of the humans, the philosophies have a definite place in our lives.
