Man....... There have been a strong dispute between science and religion regarding the creation of the earth, man and the universe as a whole; there are two sets of beliefs as regards the creation or origin of the universe; creationism and evolutionism. Creationist holds that everything, everyone and every event was made by a creator who most believe to be God or the Great architect. While evolutionist on the other hand argues that everything that exist do so as a result of evolutionary process from stage to stage, that everything is in a state of becoming. The veracity of each positions have been debated also across numerous disciplines and this have been tagged with evidences and facts, as well as theoretical and logical arguments. Whether farce or fact, the judgment is left to linger and the beliefs are mostly carried on from generation to generation, from Corpenicus to Newton and from Larmack to Darwin.
In the middle ages, man became more interested and friendly with the idea of creationism and this is obvioulsy the groundwork of the church and the reign of theology during this era. Religion became the bedrock of society and the judge to every moral act, it became the yardstick of virtue and the measure of all things. Religion became the focal point and hub of the universe, it made man to put himself as a secondary existence while placing faith as the absolute good. Mankind experienced a drop in intellectual development and almost was heading into an era of "unreasonableness". This was the era that invited a religion practised by few Jews into politics and made it a state religion for the purpose of individual control of power; Political power. It was during this era that a Roman emperor changed the course of history and rendered the future generation into psychological and moral slavery - The Pope made Christianity a state religion.
Even with the cruelty and mischievous medium used by the church to kill every prospective source of knowledge outside that of "FAITH", the Renaissance was too strong to succumb to it. A new era was to evade mankind and the church saw the end before it even began. The time then came, when men began to reason outside the box of faith and God, when Latin no longer restrain the thoughts of most intellectuals because they couldn't relay their thoughts in their own native lingua franca. "REASON" deposed "FAITH", the chain that tied down human intellect was now broken and the the 'Renaissance man' was born.
There was a drastic turn in what has become the most positive era in the history of mankind - the enlightenment... Men began to question the very beginning of life and what the end hold, science came back to be the eye of the world and religion was merely to tame the hearts of man and remember man that he is not alone.
Politics, law and the whole of society was removed from religion as set aside independently. Theories and laws that brought about breath taking development both to man and the society began to spring up but mankind was to pay the price for this "gift"..... Immorality!
Man became unkind to mankind, the very essence and dignity of man was becoming a thing that wa can barely see as myth. Vices envelope man. The modern era and "civilization" came at a very huge price, the human soul and conscience was now lost, war became the game of the rulers and war lords became saints. Technology started replacing man and the essence of knowledge is now forgotten. Man no longer became the measure of all things, something has happened to man and we are paying the price dearly. We now run to the very thing we labelled as enemy - RELIGION.
What does the coming generation stand to inherit? What is the fate of future ages? Is man still the centre of everything that exist? The answers to these ontological questions can only be answered in ages to come. But something is now obvious, man made a mistake to turn away from religion, to jettison the very guide of morality and the yardstick of ethics. We may no longer be able to return to the medieval period collectively but as individual, the combination of faith and reason cannot do evil. If we conform to modernity and accept the ingredient of the technological age and allow it influence our lives, we must not continually drift from the essence of living and we must trace the routes that leads back to morality, we must bring back MAN.
