Things are not what they seem to be.
We want it to be the way we believe it.
Everyone wants certainty.
Most of us worship one God and there are 4,200 different ideas of who this God is and what He does.
We no longer worship the God of love or the God of war, the multiple gods.
We no longer worship the sun or the moon and the stars.
We no longer believe that the world is flat.
If history repeats itself, then we may find out that what we perceive as reality today will be obsolete in the future.
