In his most recent encyclical Pope Francis addressed the many problems facing our environment and called Christians to take action. He stated, "The idea of infinite or unlimited growth, which proves so attractive to economists, financiers and experts in technology ... is based on the lie that there is an infinite supply of the earth 's goods, and this leads to the planet being squeezed dry at every limit” (Francis). He continued to outline many excellent points surrounding the crisis. The…

The epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis each show different views from the Story of the Flood. Each gives background on different time periods and by different parts of the world. One telling of Gilgamesh seeking answers from Utnapishtim on how to live forever to avoid the suffering from death, and Noah a man chosen by God to save his family and animals from the cleaning of the world floods. By showing the difference and similarities of both stories we can not only understand more of storytelling of…

explanations, reassured life, encouraged people to live on and inspired great achievements. The creation of the universe and also humans are the same in the myths of the Greeks and the Romans. The gods and goddesses were the same for both these cultures but the Romans gave those gods Roman names. Ultimately, creation myths are popular because they allow questions about the origin of the universe and mankind to be answered. Moreover, these myths explain the very existence of man and life’s…

God gave us to protect what he created and to fulfill his purpose for our creation. In the book of Genesis 1, the Spirit of God is present with us in the spirit which gives human beings the ability to be judgmental to know what wrong or right. The universe was created by a large wonder. God gave orders and directions to what he wanted, but when it came to human beings, he took the initiative of molding them in his image and likeness. The act shows the uniqueness people have over other creation.…

should keep an open mind because first, with a galaxy and universe as big as ours how could one possibly believe that Earth is the only planet capable of sustaining life. Second, there have already been aspects found on Mars to make one reconsider any opinion there was over the topic. Lastly, it is possible to come across a planet or a moon which has the required ingredients to sustain a form of life. Not human life but a different life. The universe in which we live in is very immense and…

As humanity progresses, it is inevitable that more and more knowledge comes to be accumulated. These knowledge get classified under different umbrella terms according to the elements of our world that they primarily deal with. Depending on which element of Academia they belong to, they naturally involve different manners of approach, understanding and outcomes. It is therefore inadvertent that different areas of knowledge (AOKs) will come to face distinctions between them so as to provide…

an absolute truth. More so, the modern scientific community is also divided on issues, such as the formation of the universe. Some astrophysicists believe that the “Big Bang” created universe, but there are other contradicting theories, such as the Theory of a Multiverse. A “multiverse” is a theory that there is no single beginning to the universe, but that there are many universes interacting with each other and recycling themselves ad infinitum. Much like religion, there is no single or…

She gave birth to Uranus, the king of the sky. They became the first husband and wife. The underworld is represented because Gaia and Uranus bore many children, but they were monsters with 100 arms and one eyed creatures called Cyclops (University of…

“I can consider a tree,” Martin Buber states in his book I and Thou, “I can subdue its actual presence and form so sternly that I recognize it only as an expression of law” (22). This idea of Buber’s that humanity’s classification demeans the true value of an item or individual is a motif that the writers of the poems “Adam’s Task” and “Naming the Animals” employ in response to the creation myths of Genesis. In both of the response poems, John Hollander and Anthony Hecht focus upon the task of…
