Parallel universe

In the reading from parallel myths, The Thoughts of Brahma is a creation story based on the beginning of Brahma, the creator. In this text Brahma leaves his kingdom to experience enlightenment for his life. By doing this Brahma falls into a meditated state, which his mind creates beings that transform him. Brahma first encounters the elemental substance of darkness (tamas), which brought storms to tempt Brahma to give up his journey and distract him. He denies this God of darkness and abandons…

(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 not only say there is…

Apocalypse meets Star wars in this refreshing novel! The Guardians by B. L. Barger is a post-apocalyptic road trip with an original twist. It's a mishmash of Sci-fi and fantasy that works surprisingly well. The book opens with a bang, literally, with an alien invasion of Earth no less, then builds up to an explosive climax. The story follows Maxine, a forty-something woman living in the post-apocalyptic United States. Her profession isn't mentioned, which I found odd, though the author…

theoretical aspect as well, speculating about the Universe's size, structure and nature, and about everything that the Universe encompassed. Indeed, the Greeks were masters of this art, and their work that has passed down has helped many astronomers that succeeded them to make new discoveries. Pre-Scientific Views of the Universe Before the natural philosophers taught about the Universe, most of the ancient Greeks believed that the world was…

The earliest of the four records is the Sumerian/Babylonian tale. Marduk, king of the universe, has an idea to create mankind; however, it is EA, god of wisdom, who creates man [Enuma Elish 3-35]. This narration is focused more on the further establishment and roles of the gods rather than an explanation of how the gods created man. Marduk…

Before St. Thomas Aquinas gave an answer to the question whether God exists in things, he, in I.7, answered that God is limitless. The characteristic of limitless things is to exist with an unending amount everywhere in everything . Then he asks about God’s existence in things, I.8.1-4. He is trying to answer the questions: Is God in all things, Is God everywhere, Is God everywhere by essence, power, and presence, and Does it belong to God alone to be everywhere? These questions and their…

ideas of what it was like based on what is written in the Bible. Christians believe the Bible, the story of creation, and that God created the world in seven literal days. However, evolutionists continue to believe that there is evidence that the universe and the earth took billions of years to form. Also, that life on the planet has come about by the process of evolution, as proposed by Charles Darwin. Scientists study the results of old processes in the present and try to reconstruct…

However, one could position all of the planets in our solar system so that they fit within the limited space and still have thousands of kilometers to spare. This picture accurately conveys the scale of the universe, and ultimately alters our perspective entirely. Situations in my life have run parallel to this concept. It is a part of growing up. Perceptions are dynamic and frequently evolve as we develop new skills, such as the progression from a baby’s first steps to driving a car suggests a…

wind storm (ru’ah sa’arah) was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing and streaking about it and in the middle of the fire was a source of brilliant light.” The LORD’s stormy approach to Job was wild, uncontrollably wild; so was the universe that God described. There was no gentle voice here. We have to ask ourselves, after all Job had been through, why this approach? It hardly seems a comforting or heartening response to a broken person. From the forceful intensity of the…

In the first passage of The Creation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, he writes an ode to the gods, explaining the exact reason why he wrote the song to come. The Creation begins, “My soul would sing of metamorphoses. But since, o gods, you were the source of these bodies becoming other bodies, breathe your breath into my book of changes,” (Ovid, Book 1, lines 1-4). He sings the song of the world as he knows it, and how it came to be, a song of changes. Ovid writes The Creation to explain how man was…
