There lacks agreement among key scholars as well as scientists, with regards to whether the universe has a purpose. There are those that are, to a large extent, certain, that the universe has a purpose, while some are unsure of whether it has a purpose. Others however argue that the Universe does not have a purpose. The Universe having a purpose is from a certain perspective evident in the presence of different laws of nature that determine what happens in the Universe. According to one scholar,…

1. What is your belief about ultimate reality? A: For me the ultimate reality is the existence of a personal God, who exists beyond the physical world and that is omnipotent. I believe in a God that knows everything and that is the main source of love and wisdom. Also, I believe that God has the power to intervene in everyone’s life. 2. What is your belief about the nature of the universe? A: I believe that the universe and everything we know was created by God. However, I also agree with…

Had the inquiries of the period continued, modern classical science would not have had a such a lengthy hiatus. Part of Hellenistic scientific success may be attributed to its religious practices or lack thereof by comparison. The rise of Christianity which followed the Hellenistic period put Christian belief as the primary goal in life (i.e. the gaining of salvation which was preordained by God). Therefore, gaining God’s help by prayer would be more effective use of time by contrast to spending…

I must say that while reading the essay, I have felt lost countless times and couldn’t grasp the point he was trying to make in the long-winded and obscure paragraphs. However, his worship towards nature has been clear from the start. Nature in his mind is such a pure yet such complicated thing, and he believes that nature is never cruel and all parts of nature represents something beautiful and forever emanates kindness. He expresses his ideal relationship between nature and men by explaining…

A worldview is all encompassing to the human being. It determines the very actions, thoughts, and motives of a person. A personal worldview is not unchangeable or unalterable, but an individual cannot escape the grip and impact of a worldview; thus, it ought to be studied and examined so that it can be better understood. As a people, we should seek to comprehend why we believe what we believe regardless if our beliefs are truly correct. Making sense of the world around us, ourselves, and our…

The quote “I’ve learned that people will forget what , people will forget what you did, but people will forget how you made them feel” from Maya Angelou. Made me realize that it is truly correct because some people forget what they say, but sometimes they don’t forget their actions how they treat you or how you feel about their actions. I really agree with the quote from Maya Angelou because some people said that they are going to do something and they don’t do it because you forget that…

my human personhood is inscribed in my design, and I believe this is what Caputo makes of Martha’s response inscribed in acknowledging human dignity. As insightful as I believe the incorporation of the story of Martha and Mary presents more of the theology of the perhaps (relates to the unforeseeable in a radical way), rather than the insistence of…

On December 17, 1942, several countries, including the United States and Great Britain, identified the law as an avenue for pursuing justice on behalf of individuals persecuted in the Holocaust, resolving to prosecute war criminals responsible for the mass murder of civilian populations (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). From 1945 to 1946, the Allied powers sentenced 22 war criminals for their actions, yet the process of understanding crimes against humanity and empowering their victims…

An easily noticed problem with this argument is seen in premise 3. The problem is commonly seen as an argument over whether God is justified in creating evil, but instead it is about how God is not allowed to intervene and stop or create evil events. If God is all good then God would be separate from all evil; because God is separate from all evil if God was to intervene in evil events no matter how small this would mean that God is now involved in evil events. Because God is not involved with…

Christopher Hitchens basically rants against ‘God’ and ‘Religion’ in his essay. He suggested that religion is created by primitives lacking the means to create a better explanation for their existence in this planet. All I have to say is, I loved it. Christopher Hitchens is definitely an atheist. His essay contains explicit content not suited for the old. He wrote his essay with gusto and passion; he is truly a romantic. Ironically, his arguments are all based on logic and reasoning. It can be…
