mirage

During formative days of mankind evolution, Christian Missionaries thought that the earth was in a stationary state and the universe rotated around the earth. Over the time, it was proved that this was not true and the earth rotates around sun. But the people who had dared to propose the new idea first were ridiculed by the society, some of them were sentenced to death and few had to work underground for their entire lifetime.

Today, if someone is agnostic about the existence of Creator of the Universe and says that it is all a theory of accidental creation, evolution of vegetative state similar to the growth of fungus or amoeba and through physiological / biological adaptation of the species for survival in a cause and effect relation, the society is once again going to ridicule him / her. But few years down the line, all over again, if the contrarian view is proved right, then while looking back, people would wonder as to how much of the global resources, the time, the energy, lifetimes, money, the creativity and intelligence had been spent over the wishful concept.
