I appreciate your comment. IMO, we (a.k.a. humans) have forever been trying to "figure out" earth and its position in the Universe.
The religious hierarchy be gettin' scared, as Science draws us closer to a full and irrefutable understanding. The thousands-year-old stories that explained naturally-occurring phenomena (Zeus is the god of lightning, for ex.), or the fable of the virgin birth becoming religious doctrine/dogma to influence/control/repress billions of free-thinking people, over centuries, worked for the power class. But, knowledge and AWARENESS are moving at a much higher rate in reaching the eyes & ears of the masses.
Progress is slow. I'm gratified to be a "fully recovered former catholic," and glad to be witness to the unraveling of the church's grip on the collective throat of their followers.
And the swifter humanity learns that gratitude is an inside job, not proffered by any religion, corporation or purchase of the latest tech gadget, the sooner we can begin "the big healing."
Peace out.
