The Seventh Question: What Is The Meaning Of Human History?

as body shape, climate…” (Perrard 2665), this was a study on wasp, and their different types of wing variations. I put this in here because it tells you that animals only adapt to survive, and that is why species go extinct because they did not adapt quick enough and they end up dead. Humans are the longest lasting beings to be here from the beginning and we are going to stay until the end and the Lord comes back to take us with him. The sixth question is how do we know what is right and wrong? To that I believe it has to do with our conscience and our soul. Our conscience gives us that different feeling if we are about to do something we probably should not be doing.

If we kept our tactics to this day we would get wiped out easily because machine guns and mortars would take us out in waves. That is why since China has such a large population they learned slowly on changing tactics. Even in the Korean War they just had people running in waves shooting just to kill others, but they were getting mowed down themselves. As Americans, and mostly Christian way of thinking, we value a person’s life instead of what Chinese people think of lives. “The study of history as a means to improve students ' ability to critique the present” (McInnis 130), McInnis put it right, by saying that when we study history it gives us the ability to change the present. If we did not like something someone did in the past then we will change it in the present therefore giving us a better future. Another way that God wanted us to view history as a means to go out in the world and make disciples, or be shepherds to his sheep, and bring his sheep home meaning go out and preach the Gospel to
