Science And Religion Religious Beliefs

To a certain extent the teaching of Heraclitus the
fire priest of Ancient Greece, draw many parallels
to modern science and religious beliefs.
Heraclitus was to a degree unfocused in his work
and somewhat mischievous in his teachings by
providing stories, which could be considered
slanderous inventions. However, Heraclitus has
evidently provided both modern science and
religion with a backbone for understanding aspects
of both Death and Creation. Heraclitus clearly

government s role in American life, make a serious
run for the White House, and ratify such lasting
reforms. In the nightfall of the 1800 s, many

to them. However, tackling something with a
minimum of thought is like driving in twilight

subject. He uses a very careful examination of
time to explain and prove God s existence. His
argument follows several very important themes; 1)
nothing existed before God created it. 2) The
phenomenon of time is gr...
