regarding humanity 's position in the universe, this new way of thinking, sophisticated those living in the 1500 to 1700 's. Throughout Europe many individuals began to take these theories as the solid truths, and analyzed their validity. The ideas and beliefs of the common philosopher and intellectual of this period, perhaps the most important was the notion of abandoning faith and finding it in the power of human reason.

Life, comprised of both matter and energy, is a precious gift given to all of us. To show appreciation for life, we should all take part in the gamut of celebrations that encompasses us during our time on earth. Every moment that we spend in happiness, sorrow, victory, or defeat, brings us closer to the end of this life. We, as humans, often do not take the time to realize the circle of life. We instead focus heavily on our next experience of pleasure and happiness, willing our lives to go on…

As time has progressed forward, the distinction between human senses and reality became clearer. John Donne’s Good Morrow, as well as Margaret Cavendish’s book, The Blazing World, both, discuss nature through battles between reality and the wild perceptions of humans. The Good Morrow demonstrates the human perception of the world through the imaginary telescope of love and sex. The Blazing World demonstrates the struggle to revolutionize scientific methods with particularly the invention of a…

Daniel Quinn tackles multiple issues with today’s society in his novel Ishmael. Through the viewpoint of a gorilla, Ishmael, who is someone that is not part of the modern human culture, Quinn attacks culture as the source of today’s problems, whether it is conflicting views on moral issues or the problem of global warming. Quinn grapples the issue of the creation myth, from which most problems plaguing Earth today stem and the concept of prophet, which promotes the same notions as the creation…

Although Scott Russell Sanders and Gene Logsdon were taught lessons about life by completely different beings, the two writers write with similar aspects. In the essay, “Buckeye”, Scott Russell Sanders uses his experiences and lessons that he learned to describe his opinion of nature. His purpose resides in his fathers’ memory and the importance of the natural world. As for Gene Logsdon and his essay, “Lessons The Crick Taught Me,” he uses the “crick” from his childhood to explain his love and…

Because God always existed in reality and understanding, created the universe and things in the universe, God is also the Intelligent Designer (will use Creator as a shorter term). If something exists, it has an intended purpose because it was created by God, who neither requires or needs a purpose to exist nor to have a purpose for things to exist. All things that exist or will exist in the universe were created by God for a puipose. Whether a specific or undefined purpose is irrelevant to…

“The Waters of Mars”. Time travel is destructive because when technology is relied on it can kill millions of people as shown in the stories, “The Last Question” and “Answer”. If they could not even reverse entropy or even comprehend the known universe, why would we choose to add yet another problem to this equation? Time travel is something that as mortal beings we should not even bother to understand. Not only does it surpass our intelligence level but it also seems rather foolish to go…

Away From Nature, We Go It started with the Industrial Revolution; people started to leave their farms and move into more urban areas. This was also the time when workers obtained jobs in factories. People were starting to spend more time indoors rather than outdoors in a natural environment. We started to spend our time in artificial environments. Our connection with nature has slowly been diminishing since this time. Humans now spend much of their time in artificial environments away from the…

23. What Are THE BASIC ENERGIES OF THE UNIVERSE? • The Whole Universe, everything beyond ‘I’s, CONSISTS of Matter or Energies. The Sum of All Energies in The Universe is CONSTANT or ETERNAL. However, the combinations or ‘transformations’ of various Energies are TEMPORAL. • For the ‘I’ in order to CREATE, MANIFEST & EXPERIENCE a ‘gateway’ to the world of energies is needed. THE CREATIVE POWER or as Martinus calls it - 7th basic energy or THE ETERNAL UNMANIFESTED ‘MOTHER’ ENERGY SPLITS UP The…

understanding, it was a good point, no one had any clue exactly how the world was made. Today however, we have plenty of theories on how the universe was created, of course one would not be considered wrong in believing such things would debunk this argument. Perhaps on the surface the argument seems quite thin when looking at it, I mean now we have a way that the universe was created in “The Big Bang” we have disproven the existence of God, right? Well, perhaps if you are trying to find…
