Thousands of years ago religion launched the figure of absolute God, the all-powerful yet unexplainable entity. It certainly served the needs of the time. But times have now changed and our needs have evolved. How do we scientifically explain the unexplainable? We can’t. This leaves advocates of religion free to focus upon destroying any theory which searches for possible truth beyond dogmatic belief. At the time of conception religious texts were no doubt an amazing creation. But why have they not evolved?! Karen Armstrong, the author of The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions, points out that Rabbinic Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all secondary flowerings of the original Israelite vision, but have never grown beyond the initial insights. Would God dictate a perennial text in a world of continuous change? Should religions have continued evolving with the same vigour they displayed when coming into being, they would most probably have a very different story to share with us today. Instead, all reasoning was confined to faith. But this may no longer be so. A debate is now taking place, internally and externally of religious institutions, introducing new interpretations, which can be argued scientifically.
