Broaden Your Perspective and Expand Your Understanding

When humans first started to think about the world, their ideas were basic. As they grew, they began to sense that there was something more powerful behind it all. This sense of something greater is what we call "faith," and the way it's expressed is "religion." People then created gods and came up with fancy theories to explain what they sensed in their minds.

Eventually, people's thoughts on the subject became divided into two categories: those of the priests and those of the philosophers. The priests were happy to believe that their particular god or gods created everything and came up with elaborate stories to illustrate this idea. Philosophers, on the other hand, rejected the priests' theory and tried to explain things with their own theories.

Over time, the priests created "Theology," which is a philosophical system that attempts to explain why and how a personal god did certain things. Meanwhile, "Metaphysics" was created to address the human need to understand the reality of things, both seen and unseen. Metaphysics sought to find "the thing in itself," while theology was satisfied with assuming the existence of a deity and trying to reason out its attributes and nature.
