Theistic Satanism

Evolution or Creation? Who is up to to decide whether or not children have an opportunity to believe in either one? “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). This Bible verse has not only been questioned for thousands of years but has led to some of the most debated, passionate and public court cases and arguments of all time. The major debate over evolution and creationism is whether or not these topics should be taught in school. And if they are taught to students,…

It has been an age old debate on whether God exists. Throughout the world there are different beliefs and viewpoints on the topic of the existence of a being that is all-powerful, all knowing, and all-loving. There are the “Theists” those who believe in God and there are “atheists” those who do not believe in God. Along with those there is people who are known as “Agnostic” who have the belief that the existence of God is unknown and unknowable. As there is no physical evidence of the existence…

In 1981, a Christian woman called Dodie Osteen was diagnosed with a monastic cancer of the liver. She was told that without chemotherapy, she would only have weeks to live. Her husband told the doctor that they believed in miracles, and the miracle worker, Jesus. She went home without chemotherapy, and prayed to God for help in curing her. She lived as though she was not sick, and went about her daily life as normal, all the while praying to God to heal her. And she healed! She lived on without…

In chapter 2 of On Liberty John Stuart Mill argues in favor of liberty of thought and expression in the case of opinions and beliefs. He points out that opinions are structured as such that they are either true or false. If one adamantly believes that the opinion they hold is the truth they are assuming infallibility. Mill maintains that we should accept our mistakes. On the other hand he alludes to the notion that the admission of fallibility may lead to inaction. In the interest of Mills…

When one hears the word religion they think of their own religious thoughts and what that personally means to them. They normally think of the positives related to that and the good it has done for them. Although when one hears the word science the first thing that comes to mind is the science class they took as students and how they either hated the subject or loved it, but what they don 't think about is how important science is to the world. For example the average person drives a car, but…

The paragraph draws a conclusion that the fine lines discovered in a fossil skeleton did not certify that Sinosauropteryx was a feathered dinosaur. Whereas, the lecture rebuts this statement, and manifests that Sinosauropteryx has feathers. To begin with, the paragraph asserts that the fine lines were the fibers decomposed from skin preserved in the fossil instead of functional structures. Contrary to the reading, the lecture refutes that the fine lines are indeed functional structures,…

big deal when it comes to evolution. The Think Psychology states that things are naturally selected to survive. It is not a matter of choice, but organisms are naturally being chosen to live on. There too are different types of evolution. There is theistic evolution where people believe that God uses evolution to create. In this idea God does intervene, but when and how varies throughout many different people. Methodological Materialistic Evolutionists believe that God doesn’t intervene with…

I do not believe that science and religion are completely irreconcilable, though this balanced relationship may not be achieved in this lifetime or the next. This society has encouraged a competitive “us” vs. “them” world view, where your opinion is always right and anyone who disagrees is automatically wrong, removing the option to even consider or compromise with the other point of view. With that being said, in a perfect world where respect is given to both sides and compromise is common,…

Introduction The world is rapidly changing. Technology changes every few months, ever advancing people to new things that were unimaginable only a few decades ago. Changes in business models, distance education methods, and media platforms have shaped the society. However, there are other things that have seemed to change as well. Relativism has replaced objective truth and objective morality. The Bible is viewed as just an outdated religious book with little to offer for today’s world.…

The Impact of Death on Belief in Intelligent Design vs. Evolution Evolution claims that through the process of natural selection, the best genetic traits are passed to offspring. The theory of intelligent design states that life can only be explained if there is an intelligent being leading the process. As demonstrated in Jessica L. Tracey’s paper, “Death and Science: The Existential Underpinnings of Belief in Intelligent Design and Discomfort with Evolution,” many turn to intelligent design in…
