Parallel postulate

documented in patients with blunt trauma.[] [] Indeed, with the electrocardiogram and CK-MB as screening tests, the detection of myocardial contusion has increased from the detection of myocardial contusion has increased from 7 to 17 percent in patients with blunt chest trauma. However, false-positive elevations of the CK-MB isoenzyme can also be seen if the total CK is greater than 20,000 unites; this can occur after massive body injury.[][] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Categorization of…

for the title of “God.” (Evans & Manis, 2009). Therefore, something distinct from the universe, some unconditional agent would be necessary to have created the universe. McCloskey also claims that the cosmological argument “does not entitle us to postulate an all-powerful, all-respect, uncaused cause.” In light of Evans and Manis, we might response that the argument from design only seems to show the existence of a necessary being that is the cause of the universe. (Evans & Manis, 2009). They…

According to Hedley and Gokkent (2015), as a result of the negative shift in Nigeria’s current account and balance-of-payments, foreign investment is forecasted to decrease similar to the substantial reduction the country experienced in 2014. As a result, the Nigerian government has attempted to harden their monetary policies through the increase of government spending (utilizing international reserves and savings accounts) and alleviate the number of investor outflows (Hou et al, 2015; Hedley &…

If there is one principle of classic transcendentalism that could essentially summarize Christopher McCandless, it would be non-conformity. In society, everyone’s opinions are constantly roaming so freely, that conformity becomes a seemingly inevitable fate; however, the transcendentalist writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, shows the dangerous aspect that corresponds with such acts of fitting in. In Self-Reliance, Emerson states that “envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take…

The Star Wars Series is a saga of films loved by just about every person in the United States. From middle-aged Sci-Fi nerds to middle school jocks, you’d be hard pressed to find somebody that “just didn’t get the hype.” The first Star Wars film, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was released in 1977 and the last film of the series (so far), Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, was released in 2005. Though the original movie was a pop culture phenomenon and has changed film forever, the…

Our concept of Modern Political Thought is mainly a derivative of the 17th and 18th century, whereas Classical Political Thought had its birth before the modern era. As a result, even somewhat politically-adept modern citizens seldom draw upon ‘modern’ philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. Plato and Aristotle, who predate both Hobbes and Locke by over a thousand years, are even further from these citizens’ minds. As is stands, many individuals have difficulty finding pertinence in…

Section Two: Engaging and evaluating the theologians’ ecclesial claims In this section, I analyze and attempt to draw corollaries to the claims made by the various theologians cited above. In so doing, I focus on the contemporary implications of the understandings that I have distilled from these theologians, rather than discussing the implications of their views within their own respective historical contexts. The earliest theologian considered here, Iranaeus of…

The third view, and the main focus of this book, is the angelic view. The angelic view postulates that the sons of God were angels, although as previously mentioned they are not necessarily limited to just angels, more on that later. The phrase “sons of God” comes from the Hebrew words “beney elohim” or “beney ha-elohim”. “Beney” simply means “sons”. So what is an elohim? Elohim is often associated as one of the names of God, for instance, “In the beginning God (elohim) created the heavens and…

Although nineteenth century German philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche only lived for the first year of the twentieth century, the influence he exerted in it was great. Born in 1844 in Röcken, modern-day Germany, Nietzsche’s work did not achieve much significance during his own lifetime. However, after his death in 1900, his work rose to prominence and left a substantial impact on public thought within the twentieth century. Greatness, therefore for the purpose of this essay will be defined…

imaginary world, there is evidence that Cavendish actually sees herself as the empress. In the first paragraph she sees two worlds, the world in which she exists as Margaret Cavendish and the Blazing World, as antipodes of each other, thus making them parallel: “…and joined them as two worlds at the ends of their poles” (1780). She goes on to describe the world of her creation: “it is a description of a new world…a world of my own creating, which I call the Blazing World” (ibid). As she…
