Why Is Education The Key To Life?

Improved Essays
I believe that education is the key to success in life. As a Christian who was born and raised in Africa, I only came in contact with three kinds of belief that people held. One was Christianity, Islamic, and witchcraft. But now that I am living in America, I have come in contact with people who believe in Islamic, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and atheist. Among all these religion that I have come across with atheist surprises me very much because they are people who know the existence of God but refused to accept it. Just because they do not wants to. For being a person who believe that education is the key to life, I am thankful for having some knowledge of atheistic. I think is very sad that there is some people who have refused to …show more content…
Not having a relationship with God makes us not know or understand our purpose in this world. So, if a person says that there is no need for God because science reveal something about the universe that we are living in is sad. Especially now that we do not have a great relationship with God is the time that we need Him to be a part of our daily lives, and put trust in science will not restore our relationship with God. After feeling sad that there is people who do not believe in Christianity because of science, I think this statement is a wakeup call to all Christians. Meaning that we need to take the responsibility and educated other about believing in God. Ultimately, us Christians need to take our responsibilities of sharing the gospel to the world very serious and put into practice. Let’s this practice be a part of our day to day …show more content…
I will first tell her that I am also in the science major and that every time I learn something new like the different synaptic signals that take place in the neuron, I am amazed by the wondrous things that God created in us. This makes me worship Him even more. I will add, as A Meaningful World says that “the cell is integrated, complex whole within which DNA as DNA can function… Its function requires untold layers of complexity that DNA itself does not provide” (Wiker & Witt, 43). Looking at this quote, we are told that even with all the biological events that science has revealed to us, there is still more information that we do not know yet. This is why I think the science help us to see some of the things that God created except we will never understand completely understand all the works of God because He is an infinite

    For centuries, religion has been a topic of great debate and interest, stemming from the validity of ideals to reasons why people believe in it in the first place. Despite all the efforts over time to thwart religion, it has managed to remain as a prominent structure. One question that seems to always be brought to the table is how religion continues to exist in light of the continual advances of science. The reason religion continues to exist today is not because the furthering of science leads to disproving religion, but rather because religion addresses questions that currently not even the advances of science can answer, giving people a sense of unity and congregation based upon two key emotions: hope and fear.…

    In modern times religion and science are increasingly becoming viewed as incompatible, or at least non-overlapping. Damien Keown states that “Scientific discoveries, and theories such as evolution, have challenged many traditional Christian teachings…” at the expense of making them appear “...dogmatic, irrational, and backward-looking” (119). Despite its brief history in the West, Buddhism has gained increasing popularity in part due to its frequent portrayal as an exception to the conflict between scientific and spiritual thought. Proponents of this view—deemed “Buddhist Modernists” or “Secular Buddhists”—argue that Buddhism possesses certain qualities which make it compatible with a secular view of the world, while providing a source of purpose…

    Some reasons I don't believe in god because of the problem of evil existing, and the lack of scientific proof. I think our discusions on Richard Swinburne still has faults, and the other "proofs" for God are not proof so much as good ideas. Since I look for answers with proof, science became my solution to mmy questions. Science lead me to the incomplete idea that everything is determind because of natural laws and states. Thus it wasn't hard to belive in hard determinism, and it didn't change lack of belief in…

    Scott Sturgeon, the author of “Philosophy: The Great Debate”, talks about philosophy and the existence of God. Sturgeon states that every culture believes in a different God. He mentions that people always believed that there is more in life than everything we see and touch. Sturgeon asked us many questions whether God exists because of a psychological defense-mechanism or because of a common experience for all humans that led them to believe in God? Sturgeon talked about Theism which means the belief in a personal God that created the world, and he also talked about Monotheism which is the belief that there is only one God.…

    To unlearn some of the rules of critical thinking means rewiring your brain and the way you take ideas into your mind. Critical thinking is the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment. An individual would have to get to the base of their thinking and then rework from there, erasing the way they think also know as, “unlearning it.” Likewise with the way one writes, people learn how to write starting from elementary school and work their way up building on from previous knowledge, so to completely unlearn the rules of writing would be like starting over again in learning how to write. This is because writing is not just putting thoughts on a paper.…

My relationship with God is the most significant aspect of my life, and Christian Science is what I have always been most devoted to. I learned how much Christian Science means to me when it was tested at my previous Catholic school. The culture at this school was profoundly Catholic, it was one where I had to hide my cross and crown necklace in my shirt, and one where I had to conceal the biggest part of my identity every day. I attended, knowing that if the school discovered that I am a Christian Scientist, they would have started viewing me negatively.…

    The Influence Of Evolution

    Monkeys, birds, and fish have similarities to humans by how their skeleton is built, but that doesn’t mean they are our ancestors. Darwin needed evolution as a reason to live, so he created something that he believed was real. Evolution has been something that nonreligious people have made up to follow, but there isn’t actual written proof that it ever happened. Some scientists have disproved it; the Bible is completely against it and in mythology it links back to the Bible. There are so many useful ways to use science.…

    Purpose Of Education

    Education today, in my opinion, is not doing what it should be doing to ensure that America is actually living up to what it is known for...the land of opportunities. I believe that education should be about an empowering experience that helps students discover their passions, fosters their critical thinking skills, promotes an environment that accepts diversity, and encourages students to apply to skills to the outside world. This should be he purpose of American public schooling because it will help society adapt to changing times and encourage the growth of a well-rounded, modern, and accepting culture which in the long run help foster peace and equality. I am sure that there are many schools in America that try and foster all of things,…

    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.…

    Historical Conflicts of Science and Religion Evolutionary biology is a relatively modern scientific subject which has appeared to rouse great conflict with organized religion. This paper seeks to use properties of NOMA to dispel the alleged conflict between science and religion, and it will also attempt to pinpoint how such conflicts may be prevented. To accomplish this, the definitions of science & religion will be clarified, the feud between evolutionary biology and religion will be discussed, and an argument will be made that creationism and fine-tuning arguments improperly overstep their magisterium. The fundamentals of science and religion must be reiterated before a proper argument can be made.…
