On the final scene, an angel appears, holding Everyman’s book of reckoning, he only came to send everyman’s soul to heaven, and says that because of Everyman’s “singular virtue”, he will be taken to “heavenly sphere”. The gift of certainty, wisdom, and heaven, is the absolute goal, and is certainly a happy…
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 evidences. The Teleological Argument is an argument that supports the evidence of god.
