But that has not always been true and the number of people rejecting that idea today is increasing rapidly.” (Mortenson, 2003) Proving the existence or the non-existence of time creation is still relevant in today’s society.

A sacred holy entity unknown to mankind as powerful and fearful; these are just a few of the many adjectives we would use to label the divine creatures described in many of the creation myths.

The patterns between these three religions have a lot in common from how they are practiced to where their important teachings come from. For example all three religions are spread/practiced all over the world.

The more widely known religions focusing basically on a creator that made the universe for whatever reason and may or may not interact within the universe. Regardless or religious belief, they all have a founder and places they consider holy to the religion. From my first glance of scientology, I feel that it is an ecclesia and will read more about it. While scientology is not considered a religion on this table, I feel it still lacks things other religions have and believe also that things it claims are facts have been claimed to be wrong through science.
Many people in the Elizabethan Era thought God put us in the center of the universe because they had the i-am-so-important personality which clearly explaining why everything revolved around them, Imagine that! :) Theories of the Elizabethan Era previously seen as fact in the science community are now mere science fiction, however, such theories are the ones who have paved the way to our modern society.This goes to show that we all can make a faux pas once in a while but someone take and make it true. :) The Elizabethan Era was an age of exploration, it was one of the greatest outbreaks for the study of Astronomy even though it was a controversial subject.

Science acknowledges reason, empiricism, and evidence, while religions include revelation, faith and sacredness (Wikipedia, 2014). While this division of methodologies is accurate, in my view, science also requires the adoption of revelation and faith into its methodologies. Revelation is an important methodology in science, without revelation, Archimedes wouldn’t have exclaimed 'Eureka!
