Ok, from what I know about the Ori, Origin was developed as a religion *after* their ascension. They created it so they could siphon power from the next evolution of humanity they created (just as the Ancients created their next evolution of humanity in the Milky Way and Pegasus).
So what were the Ori doing when they and the Ancients were still human? Orlin said they became more fervant in their religious beliefs, while the Ancients believed in science. We also know that the Ori tried to wipe the Ancients out, which resulted in them leaving their galaxy. But then Merlin said the Ori had good intentions when they started. Also, the Ark of Truth was made to combat the Ori when they were still human. Just what were their beliefs, that caused them to go to war with the Ancients? I suppose it's possible that Origin was a modification of the beliefs the Ori had before their ascension?
So what was it that they believed that the Ark of Truth would've changed? We see SG-1 use it against the Priors to turn them away from Origin, but as said before, Origin wasn't created until AFTER their ascension (LONG after the Ark was built). So what was the "truth" that it showed? And what WAS the religion of the Ori before their ascension? The Ark doing what it did, would only make sense if it was made AFTER the Ori's ascension and creation of Origin. But we know it was made long before that.
