Religion is often at odds with differing viewpoints in the modern world. Religion especially conflicts with science and some would say that religion inhibits scientific progress. Religion cannot be blamed for sticking to its dogmatic beliefs and ideals-for what is the purpose of religion if not to have a specific set of ideals for which to live life? Religion is a guide to millions of individuals who need direction in their lives. And so, one should not criticize people for following dogmas faithfully and honestly, for this is not a bane to ones existence, but a blessing. However, sometimes an issue will come to the fore that brings trembling doubt into the bedrock foundations that support the marble columns of ones religious haven. In the past, such questions occurred once in a century-is the sun the center of the solar system, do the planets really orbit in an ellipse, is the earth really round? In the twentieth century these questions became more abundant as man made more discoveries about how his world works.
