Alfred the Great

the present, all interesting. But what fascinated me the most, was when we covered Alfred Hitchcock, discussing his movie “Psycho” and “North by Northwest”. Although as a graduate student I was given the opportunity to do my final paper on any topic, but I just had to do mine on the “Master of Suspense”, Sir Alfred Hitchcock. Since I was a kid, we use to watch Alfred Hitchcock’s Presents, a T.V show hosted by Alfred Hitchcock which aired in 1955 to 1965. It featured dramas, thrillers, and…

Alfred Russel Wallace Alfred Russel Wallace is known for developing a theory of evolution using natural selection aside from the greater known, Charles Darwin. Wallace lived to be 90 years old, which is surprising for a man in that time period. He was born on January 8th, 1823 and lived till November 7th, 1913. His childhood was taken place in Kensington Cottage, southeastern Wales. His middle name was spelled weirdly due to a mistake at the time of registering his birth, which was never…

Vertigo is a sensation of whirling and loss of balance, associated particularly with looking down from a great height. This feeling translates to the 1958 movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock titled Vertigo, which is based on the novel “D’entre Les Morts” by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. The film is a romantic story of obsession, manipulation, and fear. In the film, a detective is forced to retire after his acrophobia, fear of heights, and accompanying vertigo causes the death of a fellow…

Social Darwinism was a philosophy created by Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin’s philosophy connected the theory of evolution within humanity. Many people were against Social Darwinism, simply because of the fact it veered from the Christian belief that god created everything on earth. There were people out there who believed in Social Darwinism and were intrigued to learn more. Both sides of the argument were able to justify their reasoning on why they either agreed or disagreed on Social…

Also, I am interested in understanding the process theology in other faith contexts, other than Christianity. Whitehead’s Metaphysics: Alfred North Whitehead considered cosmology having connection with religion. (1, exposition) Therefore, in this regard, the use of metaphors is relative to one’s own experiences. This is to say that it points to “process” as a part of the process theology…

Charles Darwin was a 19th century naturalist who shaped the way we view nature and humanity. His theories of evolution completely reassessed how we understand the natural world through his ideas on natural selection. Darwin himself was largely inspired by a few other naturalists who predeceased him, mainly William Paley and Thomas Malthus, and it was their work, as well as his travels around the world, that led him to form his own theories and to change how nature, humans and biology are seen…

I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, (Isaiah 46:9c-10a NASB) Is the God of Process Theology the God of the Bible? This question will be answered in this essay. The God of Scriptures is sovereign (1 Tim. 6:15), immutable (Mal. 3:6), infinite (Jer. 10:10), perfect (Mat. 5:48), and prophetic (Is. 14:24). However, the God of Whitehead’s Process Theology is a source of meaning and reason; it changes and is changed, it is everlasting but imperfect and does not…
