Extrapolation In The Real World

Improved Essays
The world is waiting for a definitive answer to why we exist. Through extrapolation we come closest to achieving this goal. The observation of nature, elements in nature, processes and sequence of events that occur naturally in nature are vital elements in obtaining an outcome grounded in the real world. We compare extrapolations to their natural counterparts in detail, state the obvious, and then extrapolate, analysis through this lens yields extraordinary results that are very different from current theology.

Finally, we have a forward thinking, next level, reality-based message that appeals to people of all beliefs.

    Throughout time, religious experiences have been used as the foundation of religious beliefs. However, there has been much debate within the philosophical community as to whether these experiences are authoritative and can be trusted as reliable primary sources. For the purpose of this paper, I will define a religious experience as the sudden sensation of a mystical entity. This type of experience occurs frequently and is easier to defend than the traditional religious experience of seeing the face of God. One primary reason for the reluctance to accept religious experiences as evidence of God’s existence is that they do not seem to tell a coherent story.…

    “The Universe Next Door” by James Sire provides insight into the various opposing worldviews society faces today. Beginning with the Pre-Modern thoughts that believe in God’s existence, spanning to the Modern view placing matter in the center of reality, and concluding with the Postmodern thoughts which deny the existence of reality. Throughout the semester we have discussed several of these viewings of the world, noting some views appear to be more practical than others. With the use of Sire’s eight fundamental questions I would like to compare and contrast the Pre-Modern thoughts of the Christian Theistic worldview to the Modern thoughts of the Naturalistic worldview. Beginning with Sire’s first question “what is prime reality-the really…

    In one way or another, we have all experienced that moment. The moment when, staring up at the late night sky or down at your newborn child, our own existence is thrown sharply into perspective and life appears both small and magnificent all at once, leaving us to wonder, “How is this possible?” And by “this” we mean life itself. The smallest questions often pose the most difficult to answer and the question of life’s existence is certainly no exception. Many theories have been offered as solutions to how the world and life as we know it was created, most purporting the existence of a greater sentient, intelligent being that created it all.…

    A spaceship lands on Earth. Instead of dishing out a hackneyed “Take me to your leader,” however, the alien inside enters the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and requests to meet with a paleontologist. This peculiar scene marks the beginning of Robert J. Sawyer’s Calculating God, a novel that boldly discards science fiction’s stereotypical “alien narrative” by defying all preconceived notions. What if, asks Sawyer, there were different ways of understanding the universe? What if aliens landed on Earth with scientific proof of God’s existence?…

    The creation of God breathes life and continues to live until it is time for the creature to pass away. This fact is understood by humans in various ways – both theological and biological. Though God’s creation comes into living at time of its birth and has the free will to perform functions according to its species, it nevertheless ceases to exist when it dies. Some people would argue that it is a normal cycle for any species – to be born and then die. At the same time, some would argue that creation, whether human beings, plants, and everything that has breath and life in it, lives and continues to go through experiences of joy and pain, suffering and comfort, and has an appointed time of death.…

    In “Why This? Why Anything?” Derek Parfit provides his demonstration of the fallibility of providing causal answers for the creation of the universe. In light of the fallibility of causal answers, Parfit seeks to incorporate his response to the creation of the universe with the use of non-causal answers which explains something’s existence in virtue of its properties, rather than attempting to follow an infinite chain of reasoning. While Parfit adequately demonstrates an inability to conform our reasoning to causal interactions for the creation and nature of the universe, his understanding of non-causal answers for the nature of the universe provides little insight into the questions he proposes and provides merely a factual understanding, rather than an explanatory one.…

    Science and religion are two words that are assumed to oppose each other due to the factual, logical basis of science and the faith in the unknown presented in religion. Yet these two disciplines share many commonalities and interactions that lead to the development of a field of study. Alfred White Northhead, a Protestant theologian, exceptionally expressed that God and nature work as one, indicating any change in the science nature, should lead to an alteration with how society comprehends God. (Olsen, 2) Throughout this paper it will be clear that science and religion are a field due to the commonalities the disciplines share, the overlap of knowledge seen in both topics and importantly the dispersion of the work among academics.…
