Observable universe

is essential in the understanding of Creation from a Biblical perspective. Without the belief of God as creator, the entire purpose of creation, much less the Bible and the redemption story is negated. The belief in God as the sole creator of the universe is indispensable for this world view. As the story of creation progresses, there becomes much conflict within the itself as different classes of though are created to help try explain creation in terms of their own understanding of what is the…

Have humans already decided? From the beginning of time man has attempted to separate itself from the natural world. God gave humans command over the world, its animals, and also the responsibility to maintain it. Somehow, at some period of time humans started to take advantage of the earth, no longer taking just what they needed but rather what they desired. Is the fall to blame for this? Did humans fall out of harmony with nature as they fell out of the garden of Eden? Whether all humans…

The debate of the creation of the Universe, has been going on since the first humans walked the Earth. We as humans are curious creatures, and always want to know all of the answers. In the Frank Turek vs. David Silverman debate they both believe they have the more realistic view of how the Universe came to be. These types of debates can get heated quickly not only between speakers, but between the audience members, too. That is why I really appreciated what the opening speaker asked the people…

I take a look at the Universe and at first glance I see a magnificent entity “revolving on a noisy, creaking pivot” (Fitzgerald pg. 31) so grand in scale that nothing can ever be compared to it. This universe is home to human existence and when I look through our “troubled history and sympathize[d] with the brave struggles” (Fitzgerald pg. 66) of those who have come before and their actions. With every good deed that they committed there comes an equal evil action that accompanies it and evens…

The great beginning was empty, and from the emptiness the universe was created. The universe produced light materials that became Heaven, and heavy material that became Earth. Heaven and Earth created Yin and Yang, which created the four seasons and creatures. The hot forces of Yang created fire and its essences created the…

The myth that I chose, researched, and presented was The Ceram Creation Myth. This myth originated from the Molucca Islands in Eastern Indonesia. It expresses the belief of fertility, or life from death. The Ceram Creation Myth is very unique and can be seen as different from other myths. After studying it, I have noticed that this myth has a divergent storyline than most. As written by Karen Armstrong, “...mythology is an art form that points beyond history…”(“What is a Myth?”, page 7) Thus,…

The countries or regions where the two stories originated had an effect on how life was created in regard to that particular story. When contrasting the two stories against one another the reader is able to see which elements is taken from that stories place of origin and which part of the story is basic human knowledge. These two myths have elements of truth in them because they have parts of the story that have been pulled from the country or region in which the creation myth was written.…

Eliot explores a myriad of interpretations of the meaning of logos in the Four Quartets through Einstein’s theory of Relativity, by examining it through the bending of space and time, ultimately using this lens to arrive at the conclusion of the Incarnation. This curvature of spacetime opened the doors to the reality of a new method of understanding the world: non-Euclidean Geometry. Non-Euclidean Geometry differs from several key postulates of traditional Euclidean Geometry. These reworked…

Knowing everything, but still talking and listening to his children, the creator of the universe knows everything before it happens, but somehow still manages to develop a relationship with his children. Everyday thousands of Christians bring their trouble and problems to God, and he always stands ready with his arms open ready to forgive and love. Instead of ruling over the world like his people are his slaves, he talks and loves each one, for example in Romans 5:8 it says, “But God shows his…

"The First Principle in the Science of Getting Rich" The mind is a powerful creation. It has the ability to dream up some of the greatest inventions, and it has dreamed some of the greatest horrors. How we think is critical to our success, but not in the way most people believe. It is not about thinking positive thoughts. This won 't change our situation. The secret here is to learn to think about the things we want, and not think about the things we don 't. Here are seven principles for…
