That is a matter of debate. Some believe there are supernatural forces beyond ourselves controlling our actions and destinies, while others believe no such powers exist.
Some believe we're living in the last days before a great transformation, while others believe time has no beginning or ending.
According to Hindu cosmology, the cycle of life is divided into four yugas. The Satya Yuga, or Age of Truth, comes first and is a time of perfect morality when humankind is still barely removed from its original state of god-like innocence. Next comes the Treta Yuga (Silver Age), which marks the rise of evil. Further decline brings about the Dwapara Yuga (Copper Age), when the moral standards of the people drop and the average life expectancy of humans begins to fall to only 2,000 years because of their having strayed from righteousness. Finally comes the dark Kali Yuga (Age of Iron), a time of wickedness when man kills man. (Guess which yuga we're said to be living in now?) At the end of the cycle a Divine Being is said to take birth and reestablish righteousness, thus beginning a new Satya Yuga, and the whole cycle begins again, going on perhaps endlessly.

You are living day by day to the Gregorian calender.
The Gregorian calendar is the one commonly used today. It was proposed by Aloysius Lilius, a physician from Naples, and adopted by Pope Gregory XIII in accordance with instructions from the Council of Trent (1545-1563) to correct for errors in the older Julian Calendar. It was decreed by Pope Gregory XIII in a papal bull in February 1582.
In the Gregorian calendar, the tropical year is approximated as 365 97/400 days = 365.2425 days. Thus it takes approximately 3300 years for the tropical year to shift one day with respect to the Gregorian calendar.
The approximation 365 97/400 is achieved by having 97 leap years every 400 years.
These are calculated as follows : Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year. However, every year divisible by 100 is not a leap year. However, every year divisible by 400 is a leap year after all.
So, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, and 2200 are not leap years. But 1600, 2000, and 2400 are leap years.
There are no double leap years, i.e. no years with 367 days. See, however, the note on Sweden lower down this page.
The 4000-year rule.
It has been suggested (by the astronomer John Herschel (1792-1871) among others) that a better approximation to the length of the tropical year would be 365 969/4000 days = 365.24225 days. This would dictate 969 leap years every 4000 years, rather than the 970 leap years mandated by the Gregorian calendar. This could be achieved by dropping one leap year from the Gregorian calendar every 4000 years, which would make years divisible by 4000 non-leap years.
This rule has, however, not been officially adopted.
The change-over from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar.
The papal bull of February 1582 decreed that 10 days should be dropped from October 1582 so that 15 October should follow immediately after 4 October, and from then on the reformed calendar should be used.
This was observed in Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. Other Catholic countries followed shortly after, but Protestant countries were reluctant to change, and the Greek orthodox countries didn't change until the start of this century. Note that countries who delayed the change-over beyond 1700 AD had to add eleven days as they had inserted an extra leap year.

Hi! Darkhunter76000.….As a child I believed that most European countries were predominantly Christian….Heck! Even Spain with its Catholic background today has no official national religion…..as for England ….well …this multi-culture society seems to house a multi religion people too……don’t get me wrong…we can all learn from each other, it is just that we seem to have denied ourselves a clean-cut easily identifiable identity and we are no longer one people governed by any one rule (moral or otherwise) Life is getting very confused and we no longer have a set right or wrong barometer neither civil nor ecclesiastical and I feel we are drifting thus giving fate free reel on our lives so that we appear to be drifting with the planets in this universe …religion no longer control our lives….FANATICISM DO

I have no idea what you are saying... I'm sorry. The world is living in an aethistic philosophy. But Catholicism/Christianity is the only true religion. All others were man-made by heretics.

I am not clear as to what it is you are asking.
Personally I am living a very diverse world, practicing the religion of my own choosing and fortunately I live in a country where I am free to do so.

If you means to say if we are imbibing good things in our live's from religion or not. I must say We all are directly or indirectly affected by religious values. If we follow religion to fullest, we are on right path of Truth.

I'm an orthodox, I go to Church every sunday, but I'm not that kind of a blind follower. I'm working on my own action principles. I think all religions help us to be better people. At least most of them. Have faith!

We live essentially in the world of Abraham. He is the father of Judiasim and Christianity/Islam are essentialy spin-offs.
