Introduction The Wager, by French scientist and mathematician, Blaise Pascal, presents an argument for believing in God based on an individual getting the best afterlife. He argues that we all must make a wager either for or against the existence of God. This wager which will result in either heaven, hell, or no consequence. Based on Pascal’s premises, I believe his argument is unsound. This paper will be divided into three sections in which I will discuss my evaluation of Pascal’s Wager. In…
For this article, it analyzes both Jack London’s “What Life Means to Me” and Stephen Crane’s “The Open Boat.” Utilizing these two stories in light of the fact that both Jack London and Stephen Crane are legitimate naturalist essayists who show the thought of naturalism in two exceptionally unfavorable strategies. Naturalism portrays the extremely restricted control that people have over their own destiny in correlation to the powers of the regular world. In "The Open Boat", the men stranded on…
In this vast, unknown universe that we are in, there exist four fundamental forces, (1) strong nuclear force, (2) weak nuclear force, (3) electromagnetic force and the weakest of them all, (4) gravitational force. All of them are very significant to the race of humans but one force seems to be very commonly known and familiar that we tend to forget how this force is astonishing and remarkable; how this force had shaped the world and society that we know today. Thus, let us begin knowing how…
Utopia: an envisaged place or state of things in which all facets are superlative. But, the question is: Is a perfect world attainable? The futuristic World State is describable as the quintessential world, however it’s only proven to be a dystopia. Although, the year 632 A.F. shows immense advancements in science and technology, the World State uses these advancements in creating a civilization which programs their population with specific traits, and placed in their own specific social caste…

The Universe appeared in a defining moment of the past of all the matter and energy existing at present; It is an event postulated by the generally accepted cosmological theory. Astronomers are mostly convinced that the Universe arose at a definite instant, between 12,000 and 20,000 million years before the present moment. If it had a beginning or creation, would it be logical to think Which must be the work of an initiator or a creator? So many believe. Smoot said, "It 's like seeing God."…
. Hawking says that there was a time when everything in the universe were connected to each other and the density of the universe was infinite, which according to the “general theory of relativity…predicts that there” was “a singular point in the universe” [3]. Before big bang, nothing existed. Energy and time were created later. This theory is in coherence with the scientific method. If we invest some thinking to find some evidences that support the existence of god, we can find a few…
perspective of substance was centered on the God, and His importance. Substances are dependent on God, since He is the ultimate creator. In his Discourse, section 14, he says, “God produces various substances according to his different views he has of the universe and through God’s intervention the proper nature of each substance brings it about that what happens to one corresponds with what happen to all the others, without their acting…
Through the Argument of Possibility and Necessity, the existence of God is proven. Possibility is having the tendency to stop existing or being contingent. Necessity is a form from itself, which could not possibly have failed to exist. These two concepts and forms of being and the way they interact represent the existence of God. Thomas Aquinas, medieval theologian and philosopher, asserted and taught Five Ways to prove the existence of God. One argument of these five that I find to be…
life on a planet don’t have much in common with the components necessary for the Universe. Many Astrophysicists have accepted the fact that the values of the four fundamental forces were discovered less than 1 millionth of a second after the Big Bang. The four fundamental forces are gravity, the electromagnetic force, and the nuclear forces. If any of these forces are altered or anything happens a second off, the universe could not exist. If the ratio between the nuclear and the electromagnetic…
