Man, in the first flush of scientific advancement, has considered religion to be relic of superstition of a primitive humanity. Today, the very advance of science has brought back the sense of awe and wonder at the immensity of the cosmos. Every step forward in science has made us aware how imperfect and tentative our knowledge has been, and is bound to be. The universe, with its mind - shattering dimensions, distances and speeds, down to the sub - atomic particles is basically a mystery. 

      That our knowledge should be incomplete can be easily understood: If the entire history occupies about a hundred minutes and that of modern science, a mere two seconds. Taht our knowledge is bound to be imperfect and incomplete can also be understood: " We know nothing of the universe beyond the effects that its happening produce on our senses, either directly or through the intervention of instruments", says sir James Jeans.
