There’s no getting around it: Barack Obama is a phenomenal arguer. He’s got superb legal training; he’s got point-by-point debating skill; he’s got a feel for nuance; he’s got historical examples and counter-examples at the ready.

All these tools are on dazzling display in Jeffrey Goldberg’s extraordinary cover story in this month’s Atlantic. “The Obama Doctrine” gives…

Creationists say the earth was created by God in 6 days while evolutionists say that the creation of the earth and the life on it happened spontaneously. Both groups have valid reasons for the creation of the earth but there is no definitive answer or proof of how the Earth was created. “Evolutionism is the idea that the universe is the…

perfect vacation spot too: he and Andy could spend the entire weekend visiting every bar in The French Quarter. Plus the food on Bourbon Street was amazing too. So, it would be one hell of a weekend. Brennan wandered through the gas station aisles, debating on which snacks he would like to purchase. He was already holding two bags of beef jerky and four bottles of SmartWater, however, that didn't seem like enough to last he and Andy all the way to New Orleans. Heck, it wouldn't even last half…

pose some kind of physiological questions, but both plays “Hamlet” and “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern” portray the question of what happens in the afterlife - or the possibility of there not even being an afterlife. The two plays are continuously debating the existential theories of life - sometimes with humor and sometimes completely serious. The main idea in Hamlet is the fact that revenge could just be a cousin of death. While in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, they mainly go back on forth of…

In Chapter One of “Feminist Theology: Methodology, Sources, and Norms” Rosemary Radford-Ruether talks about the theology that Religion has on our society towards women and men in a historical tradition.
