Modern Religious Experience: Reflection Question #1

Modern Religious Experience: Reflection Question #1: "According to Mircea Eliade religion has 'not vanished without a trace; [it] has contributed toward making us what we are today and so, after..."

Religion answers the unanswerable to all humans who are willing to embrace a religion into their life. Through doing this, it answers where “we” (humans) have originated from. This provides us with the answer to, “how did we come to be?”

After hundreds of years of scientific research, not one scientist has been able to present an explanation with evidence as to where humans came from. As humans do, we strive to find answers for every unanswered question. We will continue to search for this unanswered question, but in the mean time to put at ease all human curiosity, we settle to believe in a set of beliefs surrounding a specific religion.

Many religions differentiate in their belief system, however Christianity has come to be the largest followed religion. We believe that our god has made all humans. Humans originated from a man and woman who were put here by god called Adam and Eve. They were the ones who have brought humans to where they are today. This is how my religion has affected my own person history. Christianity has answered the unanswerable to their people. True or not, no one knows until proven otherwise. This what we will believe to give us hope and a sense of mortality in life.
