Part A- three important points that stood out to you in the article.

As I was reading this article, I came across three concepts that caught my eye as I was reading. The first concept that stood out to me in the article was that the author called God a designer- creator of the world. Even though I believe God created a perfect world for us to live in, I never pictured him and or categorized him as a designer of the world. I just labeled him as a savior that protects and forgives others, a person that keeps us save.. a caregiver. However, this article brought it to my attention, and I do believe that God is a designer because he created this perfect world for us. He made things on this earth for us to use and placed them in a speific area. For example, he placed rivers down for us to get water, trees to get clean air and fruit, vegetable plants and tree for us to stay healthy. The main reason why God is called a designer because He is the first designer of the world to have designs that are fully functional3.

The second concept that stood out to me in this article was the overall message of visual pollution and how it effects peoples

When I read this statement, at first I thought this was not true, but then I realized that I do this same exact procedure all the time when I get new assignments at school or at home. Whenever I do not know how to do something, I give up. Reflecting on this information, this is something nobody should do because there are a lot of good outcomes that taking risks and trying something new can do for your future. Just like the article infers, that if you try something new, chances are its going to be a success over time if you put your mind to

    Cornelius Plantinga Jr. made me ask myself a lot of questions while reading his book Engaging God’s World: A Christian Vision of Faith, Learning, and Living. My first question was how am I going to read a book about Calvinism, when I’m not exactly sure what Calvinism is? To say I was skeptical of this book is an understatement. My thoughts have always been that people believe and view things differently and that's ok.…

    In several places throughout the paper, he mentions this notion that We can’t tinker with nature because that’s God role. He says that “one of the blessings of seeing ourselves as creatures of nature, God, or fortune is that we are not wholly responsible for the way we are” (Sandel 17). To support his thesis, he talks about the concept of insurance and sharing the risk between everyone. Although his argument was persuasive, we can argue the other side just as well. Blaming God for our actions can also set a precedent for all the ill behavior that Humans do to one another.…

    It is unlikely that God gave us ‘reign’ to destroy his beautiful world. Nature is a project that humans should protect and maintain. As humans, we need to enable God’s creation, the plants and animals, to flourish; ultimately glorify the image of God. Wright suggests that God gave humans dominion over creation in order to teach us what being created in God’s image is about. This lesson of sovereignty will teach…

    A balance between peripheral and central persuasion cues is necessary when approaching a mature audience. With film, this balance translates to realistic visual representations that are engaging yet not wholeheartedly fictitious. Sinclair 's The Jungle clearly relied on both central and peripheral persuasion cues. Sinclair appealed to people using peripheral cues in the form of strong imagery; one particular passage is especially vivid: “[T]he meat would be shoveled into carts, and the man who did the shoveling would not trouble to lift out a rat even when he saw one—there were things that went into the sausage in comparison with which a poisoned rat was a tidbit. There was no place for the men to wash their hands before they ate their dinner,…

    Many people in the world today have decided that a world view does not matter; that everyone can simply believe what they would like to believe, and it would not make a difference. However, this is not true; a man’s worldview determines his every act! (Overman) Hitler for example, believed that Jews, disabled people, and elderly people were worthless; he thought that he could make a perfect world.…

    When you are posed with the question if human beings are inherently good or bad, you often find yourself floundered to find an answer. It is a fundamental question with no definite answer, only your conception of situations and human beings. People often look for the bad in the world, they point out the negative things instead of the positive because that’s what people want to hear about. The positive things are overlooked, which concludes with people believing that humans are inherently bad. Unfortunately, they do not recognize the many positive actions of others.…

    Scientists have discovered theories such as evolution and natural selection that are backed up by solid proof instead of observations alone. As a result, if we were to argue that nature is too flawless in its construction, these theories seem more plausible than the belief of an invisible designer. Largely because they have gone through extensive research, unlike God who can’t really be proven. Some may then debate that the provided evidence for the existence of God is only at the disposal of those who understand it.…

    Reflection Paper on Harold Senkbeil’s Dying to Live In the book, Dying to Live, the author, Harold Senkbeil, explores the Christian faith in other ways than the Authors of the previous books that we have read in this class. I feel like this book is one that allows the reader to really understand and grasp certain concepts within the Christian religion. The book doesn’t just blatantly tell the reader what the Christian faith is and why it’s important, but it allows the reader to connect with the ideas and shows the reader how we play a role in the whether we live the life that God intended for us. Senkbeil does this by explaining why our world is “dying” in his eyes and what is done to ensure that God still has a place in our lives as Christians.…

    “ What to say to a man who tells you he prefers to obey God than to obey men, and who is consequently sure of entering the gates of Heaven by slitting your throat?” Dr Richard Reilly Wrote an essay published in Philosophy Now, in which he discusses how he approaches the topic of “Questioning God” with his students. Reilly begins with the above quote from Voltaire—not in the published version, only in the copy given to his students—where he captures his main idea in one simple statement. If a man is truly loyal to his idea of God, then a man standing in his way will perish by his “holy” hands. Throughout history humans have made it clear that, because we are social creatures that live in relation to one and other, Religion will always be a…

    The Perfect World I watch as the people of the world turn to skin and bone, knowing that I would too at any second. Living in the 51st century is dangerous, because it’s kill or be killed. We have to find food, try not to get infected by chemical Z-309 (a drug that kills you, revives you after three years of death, then forces your brain to want to eat others), and also try not to get shot by the army. Unfortunately, those are only three examples.…

    Being made in the image of God is such an important concept that humans need to comprehend. Our full understanding and identity of who we are as human being relies on man being able to grasp and analyze this idea. According to Gerald Bay, being able to study and evaluate being made in the image of God will lead to understanding how the fall of Adam affected the image of God. 2.

    The Love of God God is the creator of all life and he is the highest of all powers, he embodies all ‘persons’ (The Father, The Son, and The Spirit). Although we cannot be as him, we should try to follow his guidance. In this world, it is easy to get wrapped in earthly things. We are humans, and many of times we fail by trying to hold a certain status, gain certain materialistic possessions, and cause great emotional/physical harm to one another. In my beliefs, that is not the way one should live.…

    Morality Through the Eyes of a Christian Life hits people with obstacles on a daily basis. As a society, we choose how to respond to them based on our moral virtues that develop from our upbringing. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “Morality is beliefs about what is right behavior and what is wrong behavior.” As humans, we tend to justify what is right and wrong. Being raised in the Catholic faith, I was taught the ten commandments which comes from the Holy Bible.…
