There are theories about Genesis being written by two different authors. The two Genesis creation stories help to support this theory. There are many aspects of the stories that show there are two different authors for the two stories. This paper will discuss these aspects of the stories and show the differences that help to support this theory. Both stories show the way God created the world, but each story have hints of different themes and authors. The first creation story is separated by…

be an individual and what makes someone that person. When asked “Who am I?” the thing that defines us is our identity. The word “universe” is also used in this paper and it should be interpreted as: “everything that exists.” I will argue that a human being’s identity or essence is the sum of their experiences and their actions or reactions to all of their experiences. We should start by thinking about what makes each person different. We all look different, sound different,…

politics, especially the origin and role of law in human life. In most cases, the study of nature roles in understanding politics must consider how human beings interact with their leaders, as well as how laws inform their co-existence and mutual relationships. Both Aquinas and Machiavelli studied human life and came up with observations based on the relationship between humans and nature. Their works narrow down to the same conclusion that humans cannot survive on their own, and need something…

individual’s life. But perhaps even more profoundly is the realization that friendship is a necessary response to the dignity of all human life. Life is a sacred gift from the Creator and therefore God yearns for his people to recognize the gift of life. I believe that friendship is an answer to the reality of the sanctity of life. If one understands the dignity of a human person and moreover the reality that each individual is made in the image and likeness of God one must love another simply…

Which is understandable, why would we, as the human species, talk about our own mortality. Most of us like to experience life in the now rather then think about the future and what will happen when our time runs out. Though as much as we do not like to talk about death at the same time we are fascinated with it. Humans really do seem fascinated with death at times. Along with this fascination there is also a fascination in the debate on whether or not humans have souls and if one day our soul…

In On the Genealogy of Morality, Friedrich Nietzsche argues against what he calls “bad conscience” (Nietzsche, 56), or the suppression of instinct. He believes that people should act according to their will to power, an aggressive drive which all humans possess. Restraining themselves from exercising this will to power only causes people to turn its violent demands inward and ultimately hurt themselves. In Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Immanuel Kant describes his concept of morality.…

Immediately after reading prompt D I thought about AMC’s The Walking Dead series. I specifically thought of a few episodes from season two when a group of survivors of the apocalypse find another group with land. The owner of the land is Hershel Greene; he has plenty of pasture, a barn, and a fairly large house. Living with Hershel is what is left of his family. One of the survivors from the traveling group named Glenn wanted to meet Hershel’s daughter Maggie up in the loft of the barn. Little…

While Pompey’s work lacks some of the variety a self-actualized person might require, she does challenge herself to work efficiently and construct her narrative when she free time. In addition, Sir Phoebus has awarded Pompey tremendous responsibility because of her expertise capabilities. She achieves this despite the limitations of the era and her understanding that she may not have the perfect job, but she does have the ability to find it satisfying. In showing her autonomy, Pompey reveals she…

The Ultra-Darwin (An analysis of Dawkins and how he amplified Darwin’s findings through research into multiple generations of the human race.) “Morals are morals and religion is religion and very often they do not go hand in hand. The history of the past 2,000 years is riddled with religious immorality and nonsense and people 's often desperate reaction to it” (Weedon). For years scientist have been trying to learn everything they can about how the world works. They trace their findings back…

different methods of life saving procedures and cure to some seemingly incurable diseases. Many different types of human cloning procedures could provide various benefits to society, such as birth help for infertile couples, conservation of endangered species and a reduction of hereditary genetic diseases and outweigh moral arguments against the cloning process. There are many ways that human cloning and stem cell research is expected to be beneficial to mankind. The benefits also include…
