Development of the Modern World and ReligionSince the beginning of human existence, our ability to think and ask questions has led us to answer questions sometimes with uncertainty and doubt. Many natural phenomena that are now easily explained thanks to our technological advances were great mysteries for early societies. Unable to answer their questions, many attributed the storms, floods, heat and cold to divine acts, which was a much more plausible explanation than not knowing at all. Soon people came to trust these explanations; For thousands of years, people have been raised to believe that even the most recent religions based their texts on the belief that the gods created our world. Because of this, religions had to make claims about how the gods created this world, but then realized, too late, that advances in science were turning their written beliefs into lies. The Roman Church attempted to forcibly stop the circulation of the writings of the early philosophers, but soon the quest for knowledge became too great. The early Christians, trying to deal with this emerging belief, decided to try to stifle this resurgence of science by banning the study of anything that did not belong to God and tried to wait as long as possible. possible before having to take back their own beliefs. , since the fall of Rome, a superpower in its own right. Nations were created and destroyed in his name and by the will of the Pope. The power of the Church lay in the fact that people feared the Pope and his power to condemn kings to heaven or hell. With this immense power, the Church could tell people what the middle of a paper believes to be false. Even today, the Catholic Church continues to assert that it is still right on many issues that have been proven wrong by my modern scientists. Little by little, the Church lets go; it is no longer said that Noah lived to be 800 years old, nor that Moses parted the Red Sea. Today, more scientific explanations are sought to modernize the Church so that its followers remain faithful. The Church may one day soon have to take back so many things that religion will no longer have any meaning.-------------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------------------- -------[1] A History of the War between Science and Theology in Christendom, Andrew D.
