cosmological argument only states that a first cause exists, therefore it could acknowledged as the big bang, an unstated first cause or truly God. The most conflicting evidence which suggests that the cosmological argument is bad is the Big Bang cosmology. The big bang is the point in which all things came into existence; the start of time and space. Consequently, the question ‘what was before the universe?’ is not logical. This is due to the fact ‘before’ becomes worthless, as it is a state…

This doctrine asserted the ruler’s accountability to a supreme moral force that guides the human community. The Mandate caused a lot of internally fighting amongst dynasties because it decriminalized constant rebellions.

Representations of nature were often anthropomorphized. Water was considered the ultimate…

Evolutionary biologists such as Richard Dawkins1 , Paul Meyers2, and Jerry Coyne3, and philosophers of science such as Daniel Dennett4, Micheal Ruse5, and Peter Singer6 have produced differing defences and explanations of Darwinism, its roots, and its various implications within a Neo-Darwinian framework. In many cases, these have been intended for wider consumption beyond academia and have incorporated the promotion of Darwin as a unique historical agent, with Dawkins arguably leading the pack…

This holds true for the Genesis creation story as well. When the first chapters of Genesis are read, we begin to understand how God wanted…
