Science vs Religion : Preparing for the
next round |
We haven't been very intelligent throughout our existence. At times, we settled for whatever answers we could come up with. Every mystery, every strange phenomenon were attributed to certain hidden forces we failed to grasp. The sunset and rise, lightning, the changing seasons... birth, death, sickness... the beasts of the forest were all manifestations of the beyond.
Soon enough, our own existence was tied to those mysterious powers. We gave them names, shapes, and stories. We made them dwell on mountain summits, somewhere above the cloud, in lost paradises where no one has ever set foot. We gave them total control over our lives, and lived happily ever after.
