What caught my interest in this part of the reading is that
Strayer mentions that science was almost like a ‘new religion’ to people at the time. I believe that in some ways science can be classified in present day as a religion.
Before people segregated into different religions around the world and
competed against each other to try and spread their religion. Presently, religion is sort of a past time to
many people and most of us use technology for a wide variety of ways; to
predict the weather, to hear about the rest of the world, to entertain us and most importantly to defeat enemies as a whole nation. In these same manners religions in earlier
centuries did the same thing. In some
religions there were sun gods and crop gods, and now we know exactly what the
weather is going to be like because of our scientific advancements in
technology.
