write a short story based in theme religion vs science
Answers
Explanation:
"Great is our fear of the unknown." Titus Livius made this statement in a time when science and religion were one and the same; a time when pagan mysticism gracefully intertwined itself in the sparse gaps of scientific knowledge. The two have since diverged and people-- society-- have had to make a choice: will science, or religion, sate the innate curiosity borne by human beings? This is a question that haunted me for the first fifteen years of my life, a question I constantly pondered.

For years, I had relied on the Church's knowledge to help me understand the world I lived in; not just spiritually, but physically, too. More and more the institution of religion failed to answer my queries and more and more I became vexed by the limited knowledge offered to me. I began to distance myself from the Church-- as an institution-- it could no longer serve my needs, nor could I serve its needs. I searched for a replacement; yearned for a tool powerful enough to quench the insatiable quest for knowledge so innate in man. I finally found this replacement, in the powerful; elegant process known as science. Up until this point in my life science was something to be learned; not to be used. I learned that the planets revolved around the sun, how weather patterns were formed and what one could find in a plant cell. Science was not the abstract thing that I know it as today, it was merely a study of objectives: like history it was a static amalgamate of knowledge to be learned, and learn it I did.
