3rd part of term paper

In essence, Religion is something else that man will never stop trying to picture. Religion tends to be an enormous part of people’s lives. It was created in order to give hope to humanity, in order to try and instill an inner sense of goodness rather than evil, in order to set a way of life for someone.  We give God all the responsibilities that we cannot handle. We pray when there is nothing left for us to do, when what will happen next is out of our hands. Religion is seen by most as something completely normal and many would even state that they need religion, that it creates a base for who they are. Yet, religion itself is completely irrational and calls for irrational thoughts in order for one to truly believe. Therefore, when one is practicing their religion, they are partaking in illogical thoughts and behavior. Does it seem logical, that one all mighty immortal man who lives in the clouds created the entire universe? To some, the answer is yes, anything is possible. However, if one type religion is proven factual then another religion is disproved due to their conflicting views. All religions have similarities and are all stemmed from the same place. In addition, if Catholicism was confirmed to be true, then it would no longer be considered a religion; there is no longer any believing, there is now simply knowing.

Nevertheless, it cannot be verified as false either and that’s where the problem arises. There are no absolute truths in life. When dealing with this certain topic, there are two opposing viewpoints: Creationism, the belief that the universe and living organisms originate from specific acts of divine creation Vs Darwinism, the theory of the evolution of species by natural selection. The definition for creationism does not include any specific God or biblical account which. In a way, acts as its own rebuttal; Creationism is seen as God created everything, but there are different gods in every religion, so which God was it? Which religion was right? Darwinism has its faults as well. Is it more logical that we came from two people, Adam and Eve, whom decided to pop out of thin air or that we all originated from a single celled bacterium smaller than a millimeter in length and width? Neither can be established nor falsified.  This argument has been going on for years and will continue to be a topic of discussion for centuries to come. There are illogical questions in life. If one tries to create a rational explanation for religion and how the world came to be, if one continues to try and find an answer, then they will drive themselves insane exactly like Phaedrus.
