Moloch'tan modern Tanrı iradesi anlayışına kadar geçen süre içinde ortaya çıkan bozulmalar ve eski mitolojilerdeki insan kurban edilmesinden yaratıcıya adanan Hıristiyan kurbanlarına kadar tüm uygulamalar vahiy dini adı verilen sistemi kabul etmekle ortaya çıkmıştır.

Thomas Paine wrote: “It would be an error of the schools to teach astronomy, and all other sciences, and subjects, and philosophies on nature, as being our accomplishments only, they should be taught theologically, with reference to the being who is the author of them all: for all the principles of science are of divine origin. Man cannot make, or invent, or contrive principles; he can only discover them; and he ought to look through the discovery to the author of them all.
