Reflective Essay About The Universe

Decent Essays
The Universe holds the embodiment of eons of engineered work by God himself ,without a doubt. Life is created not by some chance I believe, but engineered by a higher power. The engineering project can be compared throughout the universe from various structures of the atom and the astronomical figures of the solar system; one can observe the similar engineering blueprint of our sun orbited by planets compared to the nucleus orbited by electrons. When I first began to glance my eyes on the sky all I see was an assault by pollution from man to the dark unknown abyss of empty space; staring back at me with its billions of white luminous eyes. In a way this dark abyss reminded me of how insignificant our lives are in comparison to our universe. …show more content…
Ideas pondered in my mind such as, could these cosmic radiative art reflect the history of our universe? Is our mortal minds incapable of viewing the universe as a supernatural essence? The universe filled my appetite for curiosity and knowledge that I finally enjoy pursuing for once;not forced upon by society through school. I used to see the void as a dark and empty being with no significant essence or meaning other than to entertain human myths and astrological theories. Through my quest of seeking knowledge I’ve transcended in mentally to actually want to pursue a deeper meaning of the cosmos. The deeper meaning I’ve concluded about the cosmos is that the trillions of illuminating and power cosmic dust are no other than the mysterious and powerful engineering of …show more content…
Now I discovered their true form of existence that dark abyss no longer was black and empty it was filled with creativity and color; a godly art-book. My whole journey into question and answering my curiosity led me to discover a present state of “seeking knowledge” within me. My whole life before I wondered about the skies above, I never once thought I had the desire or devotion to seek knowledge about any matter of thought. That dark abyss changed me and ignited an ability to seek knowledge I choose to pursue and handed me the desire for education in matters which I deem of

    I recently finished reading a published compilation of essays that you have written called “Death by Black Hole.” Before I read this book, I understood how big the universe was and how dangerous it was to an extent, but after reading this book my horizons have been broadened and I look at things differently than before. After reading your book, I was intrigued by your works and wanted to learn more about the universe. I then proceeded to watch all of the episodes of “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” so I could soak up as much information as possible. Your essays paired with “Cosmos” has changed my worldview entirely.…

    In this paper I will analyze the argument of the “Fine-Tuned Universe”, describe what it means, show how an opponent would argue that intelligent design isn’t the best explanation, and also provide my own view on this argument from my theist view. Have you ever wondered how the universe got here? How everything perfectly fell into place, and how you’re here today? The Fine Tuned Universe argument may help you better understand. This argument is a version of the teleological argument, which is an argument for an intelligent creator, that basically suggests there are many very specific things that make life possible, and if any of these very specific things were to be altered, life as we know it would be highly unlikely to exist.…

    It’s amazing how the same stars we look at today are the same ones, more or less, that all humanity has gazed upon. Plato, Queen Mary, Martin Luther King—the list is endless but these great historical figures have all seen the balls of light and gas that shine in the sky tonight. That’s all they are, floating matter in a vast, unknown space we call “outer space” simply because it resides outside the front door. Space. It envelopes us like an old, soft blanket with moth bites here and stains there.…

    Throughout high school, I have been involved in many activities. I started off with the STEM academy in my high school. In the STEM academy, we held special events that teach people, especially kids, about new experiments and science-related careers. I helped out the STEM academy by explaining people about the experiments, the purpose behind the experiments and cleaned or organized lab equipment. I was a part of the STEM academy for approximately three years in high school and I really enjoyed it because I knew I could make a difference in my community.…

    An English clergyman in 1908 reasoned that just as a watch is made up of several different parts, “framed and put together for a purpose,”(cit) so too are natural objects--ranging from the minutest antenna and delicate wings to the larger human body--made up of parts that combine to serve a higher function. As a watch is the handiwork of a watchmaker, nature is the product of a designing intelligence, or God. Thus goes William Paley’s ‘Watchmaker analogy’ from his book Natural Theology (cit) that started off the modern debate on Intelligent Design. Intelligent Design is the belief that the complexity found in nature could not simply have been the result of natural selection and evolution, but had to have been designed by a superior creator…

    For someone who is oblivious to the truth, it may be quite difficult to understand when they are first introduced to it, especially when they have only known one reality their entire life and they are told that everything they have ever known is incorrect. It can take time to finally accept this truth, but once it is understood, it will change their life. In both “Allegory Of The Cave” by the philosopher Plato, and The Matrix by the Wachowskis’, it can be seen that when man is blinded by his own ignorance and given an opportunity to learn, he is pained by the visions of enlightenment, but with time, will seek out those who are not as knowledgeable, and teach them his ways. In both “Allegory of the Cave” and The Matrix…

    Last autumn I found myself among the mountains of Tibet, wandering through the high desert created by the rain shadow of the mighty Himalayas, looking up at the cascade of unblinking stars that stretched across the night sky. The stars, in their steady glow, revealed a rather strange sight that I could best describe as being both disturbing and fascinating at the same time. It felt like they were giving me an exclusive window to look at the inner workings of the world and everything in it. According to the scientific community, the universe began its "life" roughly 14 billion years ago when space, time and even the atoms in our bodies formed in less than a blink of an eye.…

    The argument for the existence of God I find those most interesting is the Cosmological argument. The Cosmological argument starts with the idea that everything in nature has an explanatory or sensible sequence. For these sequences to exist and be so efficient it must be concluded that something must have caused them and put them into place, a thing that was not just another part of nature or sequence. To fully sum up and conclude this argument it must be put together that a powerful force or even “God like” being must have implemented nature and all of its many sequences. This out of all the arguments makes the most sense.…

    The existence of God has been an argument that society has been fighting for years, along with other debates within them. If you believe that God exists, then the argument would be whether or not Jesus Christ is his one true born son. The cosmological argument only deals with the fact that the universe is created by a great designer. Some say that this argument is illogical because one can simply not know whether or not that there is an intelligent creator, and the universe could create itself through nothingness. Then again, it is impossible to know whether or not that the universe did create itself from the void.…

    What are the strengths of the teleological argument? The teleological argument is an a posteriori style of argument, also known as an empirical argument which uses the evidence using observations of the world through the five senses to argue the existence of God. The argument is based on an interpretation of teleology in which purpose or telos appear to exist in nature.
