The Intelligent Investor

In the middle of the 17th century, thinkers in the enlightenment began to question how belief in the existence of a monotheistic God could be rationally supported. A number of arguments for and against the existence of God emerged at this time, and while the philosophical debate on the existence of God is still in session, the initial dust has settled. At this point in time, it is abundantly clear that a the cosmological argument is untenable at both a metaphysical and empirical level, and that…

In the essay Evolution as Fact and Theory by Stephen Jay Gould, he argues that generally, creationists miss use the terms “fact” and “theory” to attack the indisputable concept of evolution. He argues that the question scientists are attempting to answer is not whether evolution occurred, this is a fact as he defines it, but rather the question should be how evolution occurs. The essay begins by bringing forward the idea that old issues should be brought up only if there is new evidence. That…

The world of artificial intelligence is advancing at a rapid rate with robots becoming increasingly human like everyday. Advancements in these technologies requires us as humans to understand the benefits and the ramifications of introducing this scarcely understood technology into our everyday lives. Blindly allowing a new form of intelligence could be potentially catastrophic if not fully understood as the stability of these technologies are yet to be understood. Within Isaac Asimov's story…

In what extend, creationism and evolutionism create a controversy among experts? Evolutionism versus creationism are one of the most controversial topics in our modern world and because of that, there are several hypotheses about the origin of species, from the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin to the theory of the creator in the holy bible; these hypotheses can be view skeptically since there are a few areas of knowledge and ways of knowing that we can look at. Then, what…

Compare Evolution and Creation There has been a lot of theories on how the earth came into existence. In this paper we are going to look at the two, most popular theories evolution vs creation. The Creationist thinks God spoke the world into existence. The Evolutionist thinks the world started with a “big bang.” To look at the subject of how the earth came into existence we need to set our personal differences aside. Let us start with how humans and plants came about. We all have cells, we…

Aquinas, the Catholic theologian, considers the topic of ultimate conception when he postulates that that God is the answer some fundamental scientific problems. Specifically, the origin of motion, the maximum of things, the cause of things, and the intelligent design of all things. Aquinas states that all things must regress and that this regression ultimately ends with God (Boss, 2012, p. 57). Granted, Aquinas is trying to use available logic to explain concepts that had no other frame of…

In the article, Evolutionary Creation: Beyond the Evolution vs. Creation Debate, the author, Denis Lamoureux, explains the term “evolutionary creation”. This term is used to describe a collection of Christians who embrace both ideas of creation and evolution. Traditionally, creation is used by faithful Christians to describe the origins of the universe and reject the notion by scientists that the universe and life are products of evolution. The views of evolutionary creationists are sometimes…

Lamoureaux, who believed that you could be a Christian and still believe in evolutionary theory, wrote the book I love Jesus and Accept Evolution. Evolution is the theory that animals evolved into different species over time. A lot of times people who believe in evolution are not Christians, but there are some Christians who do believe that you can be a Christian and still believe in evolution. This is a controversy because some people believe that if you are a Christian, you cannot believe in…

However, some Christians believe in evolution. They are called evolutionary creationists. In this paper I will show what I have learned reading the articles I was given and…
