Journal 2: Puritanism v Rationalism

Puritans believe that life should be as simple as possible and that people should worship God by themselves without the priest, Church being the media to talk to God. Rationalists share the same belief as the Puritans, that God created the universe. However, Rationalists differ in that they believe that God does not interfere with the balance and order of the world after his creation. That is to say, after God's creation of the universe, the world operates based on a set of rules deployed by God to run the world smoothly. However, The puritans believe that everything that happened has to be related to God, God's decision, God's intention, God's interference of an event, and God is running the world as it progress. I believe that the world is not created by God because I don't believe in religion. However, I do believe there is a God so sometimes I still pray. My belief is that all God does is answer prayers from people. Although most religious people in the world believes in science that the creation of the world was from the Big Bang, and that organisms evolved into humans eventually. However, they also believe, spiritually, that God exist and created the universe. They don't fight science, but in their belief they let them coexist. However, some hardcore religious people believe that eventually science will mature into realizing that God created the world in 7 days, just as the bible says. But this belief is shared by the minority of people.
