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. As a young boy, one could say I was a religious person; certainly, my parents wanted me to be religious and I trusted in that judgment. I attended church, if begrudgingly at times, and trusted in the information given to me during the sermons. But,…show more content…

These answers frustrated with me; I begin to become disenfranchised with the whole process of leaning on this one "catch-all" answer. The frustration of constantly being out of "the know" began to irk me. 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.

Answer:

Explanation:

There were two boys in our neighbourhood, who were great friends when they were young. But once they grew up and came back from abroad after completing their education, they changed.

The change in their ideas and thoughts drifted the two friends apart. One was deeply religious and a devout devotee, the other maintained that science triumphed every false belief.
