History of mankind started when man could apprehend himself as an intelligent creature. He wanders bare footed over the earth surface in search of food and shelter. Also man looked at the sky at every step of life and was surprised at the changing phases of the sky until his brain got tired. But his wonderment never lost in vain. He could acquire gradually multifarious knowledge from the attractive environment around his dwelling. Environment. Supplied him water, food and shelter and also made 16m to be a, trained creature. He picked up gradually the knowledge in various kinds of fruits, cereals and vegetables, and in the sources non-vegetable foods. He learnt to differentiate between poisonous and consumable foodstuff and recognized whether they were readily available for consumption or they were required or to be processed for making them consumable. Thus man was forced to be a scientist, as he had to find out the methods of processing his foods from many raw foodstuffs. Man invented the process to separate -husk from paddy and he knew how to use fire to boil rice, potato and to convert wheat to bread. His research work was not confined to the acts of food processing, also he could not overlook the changing sky in where the sun rose with bright light and heat and the noon shone with pleasant light. He was quite aware or air and storm, rain and thunder warm and frost. He learnt welcome or encounters them but he could not find out the causes of those natural phenomena. A vast unknown field on our earth and in the sky inspired human race to evolve Science, a name of a subject that could satisfy him in understanding the causes of the creation, existence and destruction of all the matters or the growth and decay of all living creatures. At that early state of the subject it was not properly defined what would be its goal. Many attractive natural phenomena could not be solved through systematic arguments. But man did not stop there. He tried to understand particularly attractive phenomena more deeply through more systematic arguments or logics. A flowing urge in his mind led him to create another subject, which is now known as Philosophy. Intelligent groups of the human race started to explain those phenomena based on logical arguments. In many cases, they failed to explain the events of nature through arguments when they searched out a unique way they inclined to believe in super-natural power which was held responsible for those events including the causes of creation maintenance and destruction of all matters human being. Gradually the human race became satisfied with their beliefs in the supernatural powers. They also felt that it was the best way for achieving systematic progress of the human race towards valuable lives with peace and dignity. Those feelings helped them to formulate religions; and those got propagation-among the human race in various forms the old schools of religions taught their people through mythological stories explaining the natural phenomena, the causes of the existence the universe and the destiny of the human race. Actually regions were family developed on faiths. However, initially faiths were also based on arguments, but later religions did not encourage arguments against beliefs.
Mystery of the creation of our universe was so deep that it was impossible to reveal the truth through religious mythologies.

A man was born with limited intellectuality and with his organisms of limited capabilities. This state prevailed for a long period of his history. His inability to understand the universe properly deepened his belief in supernatural powers and it was one of the prime causes for having stagnation in his eagerness to understand the universe more deeply. He was also convinced that the human power was very limited in comparison to great supernatural power Every day or every moment that state of mind exerted influence, on his faculty, until he could start, utilizing his faculty to invent, necessary equipment which worked as aids to his sense organs, that led him to emerge as a scientist in true sense. Meanwhile, philosophers had already developed the basic thought and speculating power that made mathematics and plane geometry, which were taken to be the vital requirements for the progress to science. But it was also realized that what he would see in the sky or in other objects through his naked eyes or through telescopes or microscopes or other modern technical tools or instruments might fail many times to project before him real informative pictures of them. Even at present we think how our universe has come into existence and what will be its ultimate fate. Is it stable or expanding? Is it finite or infinite? These big questions are remaining before us to be solved. What are the dimensions of the universe and what is the function of time and what role does it play in controlling the properties of the universe and of its contents. Does time have a beginning and an end? These questions are to be solved by the scientists in future. Among many other questions - the most important one is - was the universe created by any independent entity or had it come into existence by itself. This question is great by important for conceiving the faith in religions. Plainly can it be concluded, if it is proved beyond doubt that the universe has come into existence by itself in which case the faith in religions would perish in no time? But at present it is rather impossible to foresee such state to come. Religious m-1 faiths have, so deeply rooted into our societies that they nourish continuously our mind with peace, tranquility and unit. They also teach a man to be accountable to himself for his contribution to his society. The somatic religions firmly advocate the existence of a unique Creator who has created the universe and all its contents including laws and byelaws governing the universe. There are many other religions also which have bypassed the question on the existence of a unique creator and have taught their societies to be satisfied with their own identity in the midst of available objects required to lead peaceful life. The main drawback in the character of our general mass is the lack of interest to conceive of any complicated subject such as the mystery of the universe.
