Being an Experiment Upon Strictly Scientific Lines
Angels are said to descend upon those who are in need of salvation (from evil or hell), or who need direction in life, in pain or suffering physically or emotionally, or to those who need simple things such as directions or a winning lottery ticket.
Angels or angelic-like beings are mentioned in many other religions including several middle-eastern religions, often as animal spirit guides in native American or pagan cultures.
Two distinct angels are named including Gabriel, the messenger angel who gave Mary the news of her divine pregnancy (Luke), and Michael the arch angel.
Angels had a major role in establishing Christianity, Judaism, and the Islamic religions that shaped the history of the world for the last 2,000 years.
This was a golden age for worshipping angels in accordance to the edicts of the Roman Catholic Church.
The history of angels is primarily shaped by cultural views on the cosmos or universe as well as by the culture.
