Ancient Myths and Anthropocentrism
- Ancient myths were primarily anthropomorphic, focusing on humans and their interactions with the world.
- This anthropocentrism placed humans at the center of existence, both physically and conceptually.
Human Significance and Knowledge
- Modern science initially seemed to diminish human significance by showing we aren't at the universe's center.
- However, this is wrong as knowledge creation gives humans cosmic importance.

- Astrology illustrates how celestial events can impact earthly life (e.g., rain affecting crops).
- While stars correlate with earthly events, the axial tilt theory explains the true cause of seasonal changes.
