Lesson 1: The Origin of the Earth.... Religious View


     There are SOOO many religions. It's amazing how people have come up with all these religions! I've learned that the 19 primary religions can be broken down into 270! 

     Furthermore, I now understand that Creationism or Creation science can be a collective term for all religions. I find it weird to call it 'science'. Is that normal? It's like contradictory for me to call it science. Science usually implies the idea that 'God' isn't real. Then, people call Creationism: Creation Science. It's funny... really.

     I am a Roman Catholic and I believe that : 

and that :


       I've also come across the idea of animism. This idea believes that nature is inhabited by spirits. Since nature consists of life, I believe nature is inhabited by spirits. Even trees and plants and other green leafy things are part of this big circle of life.  Small beings like insects, worms and even to big whales have spirits. Even us. We are all bodies with spirits. I've thought of my very own idea that our spirits are what connects us to God. Our spirits are the part of God that we never really lose. 

     As a human, born and raised as a Roman Catholic, I believe that there is one God. He is the one Who gives us courage, wisdom, faith and even hope. He is the One responsible for all the things that happen in our lives. 

     I've learned that humans have a different name for God, depending on their geographical location. I've learned that each religion has different beliefs, different rituals, and even different views on God and how He made the world. But, in the end, they all lead to the fact that one Supreme Being, one God has made us all and our planet called Earth.
