While religious histories vary, few challenge the secular notion of the ages of humanity. For example, within most religions, there was a stone age, a bronze age, and so on. While perhaps not agreed upon, the very fact that we are conversing in an ‘unnatural’ manner, suggest that we are approaching a new epoch for humanity. Presenting the same age old question: do the lessons from one age carry weight in others? While morality obvious changes from not just time but culture, many things do remain staples, if for nothing more than a continual supply of fortunes for fortune cookies.

I believe, that the religious histories vary because modern language terms of explanation and modern methods of communication were not available at their beginnings. Couple this fact, and had modern methods of scientific research for explanations been available during early times, possibly the original views of events and happenings would have been recorded differently.
