...based on how the human body is far more impressive than the ferrari f12 berlinetta and after this essay i am positive that you will believe that the Human body is far more impressive then some car. For example one of the main reason why the ferrari is absolutely no match for the human body is that can it repair itself in the way that the human repair itself with blood cells and tissue. Another underlying reason is that human control cars so without humans they can't do anything so how could they be more impressive is they can't be impressive without Humans. The final reason of why Humans are way more impressive is that they cant even have nearly as much as the genetics and do the things we do. The real definition of cars...

...The Evolution of Modern Humans Two origins are considered when thinking about the evolution of modern humans. There’s the “Multiregional Model” that concentrates on a multiple origins theory in which the different human populations or races had independent origins and evolved in isolation from each other, and there’s the recent single-orgin hypothesis or the “Out of Africa” which holds that anatomically modern humans evolved in Africa between 200,000 and 100,000 years ago. With this theory humans started to leave Africa after evolving. Both theories support that human evolution began in africa, but the “Out of Africa” theory has gotten much more support over the last decade, but there are still many people who support the the multiregional hypothesis. Until the recent years the only way to the only way of learning about ancient ancestors was through old fossils and stone tools. The “Multiregional Model” is the older model that consists of several models of human evolution which all posit that the human races evolved from separate archaic humans over millions of years. The “Multiregional Model” posits that 1.5 million years ago marked the beginning human evolution and that fossil samples represent the the evolving of homo sapiens. According to the theory there is no one place where homo sapiens evolved. They may have developed in Africa and then spreaded, or maybe they started in Europe and Asia and spreaded from there. Support for Multiregional The fossil record...

For many years that was all there was just animals and plants but some of the animals started to die because it was to cold and the plants wouldn’t grow so the animals couldn’t eat, so he made the sun to keep the plants warm and so the animals wouldn’t freeze to death. Later he was thinking of another creation he should make and he accidentally made a creature that could walk on two legs, he named them humans, they were supposed to keep the plants growing and get along with all the animals. A few months later the humans began to kill the animals, at first it was for food but later on they would just kill the animals for sport, the God became very upset about this and he started to cry, his tears were so big that when they fell onto the earth they made huge dents on the land and his tears filled them up with water. When the God realized what he had created he became very pleased with his unexpected creation and he then named the big one oceans, smaller ones lakes, rivers and streams. Now he wanted to make his lakes, rivers, streams and oceans beautiful so he put fish into them so that they could give the oceans, rivers, lakes and streams life. Even though he created something beautiful he was still very sad about what the humans were doing so he decided to...

...- GCSE Bitesize Easter is a christian tradition and in this religion christians only believe in one God. He is not ordinary, he is holy, which means special, different and separated. Trinity is the three different ways of being God, -God the son, -God the father and -God the holy spirit. The root of Easter starts far back in the Roman time with a women named Mary, who gave birth to a boy named Jesus. Mary became pregnant through the holy spirit. Jesus was born in a normal way and was born as God’s only son. Because Jesus was born to Mary, a human, and as God’s son. Jesus is divine, half human, half God/both human and God. The belief that God came down to earth as a human, as Jesus, is called the incarnation. The incarnation of Jesus is important because it showed God was Jesus father and it showed Jesus divine nature....

Each age had had humans that had were unlike in every single way; some were cannibalistic, some were immature, others were selfish. The four major ages of man included the unique Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. The first mythical period of man was the Golden Age. Every human in the Golden Age were formed by the Titan Cronus, who is Zeus’s father. Cronus knew that one day one of his children would overthrow him so he ate all of his children. But Zeus was able to hide from his father. To overthrow Cronus, Zeus started a war which is called the Titanomachy, which destroyed all of the Golden Race. All of the humans of the Golden Age who died before the Titanomachy died in their sleep, without pain. The humans felt no pain nor sorrow. “The soil brought forth so profusely that all toil was unnecessary.”...

...Abortion, Bioethics, and Personhood: A Philosophical Reflection Post Date: 11/19/2001 Bioethics Human Dignity Author: Francis J. Beckwith, PhD Abortion is the issue that first brought evangelical Christians and other cultural conservatives into the arena of bioethics. Although today bioethics is dominated by other issues that are perceived as more pressing, the answer to the philosophical question lurking behind abortion--Who and what are we?--turns out to be the key that unlocks the ethical quandaries posed by these other issues. After all, if human persons ought not to be either subjects of research or killed without justification, and if the fetus from conception is a human person,1 then embryo experimentation, abortion, and cloning2 are prima facie morally wrong. However, some bioethicists have attempted to deal with the issue of human personhood by either sidestepping it or making a distinction between human beings and human persons, putting the fetus in the former category but not the latter. In this paper I will address both attempts. Sidestepping the Issue: The Failure of Neutrality Some bioethicists seek to sidestep the question of personhood by suggesting a neutral posture toward it. They maintain that bioethical decisions can be made apart from answering this question. Take, for example, the 1994 recommendations of the National Institutes of Health Embryo Research Panel, a body consisting of bioethicists across many disciplines including philosophy, theology...

...small scale societies who have distinct languages, kinship systems, mythologies, ancestral memories and homelands. These societies comprise more than 200 million people throughout the planet today. | Origin of All Things | Most indigenous peoples have creation stories where they believe the Creator or Great Father in the Sky made the earth, the animals and all humans. | Nature of God/Creator | Many believe that they have lost touch or even forgotten about a Creator that their ancestors knew, but disobeyed. They believe the dark gods of the spirit world are the ones to be afraid of or to placate. Thus they believe that the Creator God, if there is one, is distant, removed and angry with them. | View of Human Nature | Humans are often seen as lost or wandering from a true path that was lost to the ancestors long ago. Humans are seen as capable of good or bad and under the influence of curses, vows, incantations, or evil spirits. In this sense, they may be animistic. Many have a special shaman or witch doctor who is supposed to help them connect to the spirit world. | View of Good & Evil | Good and evil are seen as forces that compete for dominance in a person and in the world. Sometimes there is an ethnocentric idea that ‘our’ group is the good one and all outsiders are ‘bad’. This idea can lead to wars and conflicts. | View of Salvation | The idea of the path or the way or a lifeway is their main idea of salvation. It is the path to the good. This idea is closely...

...Frankenstein's creation should be considered human for various reasons most important of which being that he has the ability to feel emotion. "But now vice has degraded me beneath the meanest animal...It is true that I am a wretch. I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; I have strangled the innocent as they slept, and grasped to death his throat who never injured me or any other living thing'" (Grimly 192). The creature said this holding Victor in his arms after he had just died and was telling the captain of the ship how he felt now that he was the main reason for Victor misery. He admits that he is a horrible being because of what he's done saying that he is beneath the worst animal and accepting that he's a wretch. “Do you think that...

...Introduction Without doubt human development is very essential in the formation of priests in this contemporary era and I am no exception. It plays a very crucial aspect in forming us and this is exactly what this write-up aims at expounding. What is human development? Human development is the scientific study of change and continuity in the human person from conception to death. It studies the ways in which people change as well characteristics that remain fairly stable. It is evidently clear from all humans that the state of a human being at a particular was not the same as he was born and will not be the same till death. A lot of changes take place in the human being even though some faculties remain fairly stable. This is what human development studies. Purpose of human development Human beings are very complex creatures and it is extremely difficult to have a total comprehension of human beings. Human development therefore aids us to have an in-depth knowledge of ourselves. It helps us as human beings to understand ourselves better and appreciate ourselves. As the popular adage goes ”No human being is an island”. As human beings we do not live in isolation, we always find ourselves in a society with other human beings. It is therefore expedient for us to know how to relate with each other so that we can make our society a very peaceful one, where everybody in the society lives in harmony. This is what human development will help us to do by having insight into our own...

...Lattimore together with David Grene devised a translation of the famous tragedy: “Antigone” by Sophocles. In the story the chorus claims humans act with deneiron, loosely translated as wondrous yet terrible. Someone who assumes the impossibility of a human acting with deneiron will surely discover his misconception throughout the tragedy. The disturbing relationship between Eteocles and Polyneices, Creon’s contradicting laws, and Antigone’s unique personality all demonstrate the constant deneiron behavior in the “Antigone”. Someone who will do whatever it takes to satisfy his desires acquires a truly wondrous trait. Prior to the main plot of the...

...care for the environment is not on them, and maybe that the environment doesn’t need to be looked after. A close connection to the moral imperative could be the categorical imperative (created by Kant), which implies that an action must be completed because it is completely necessary. From Kant’s perspective he believed that humans held a special place in creation as we have morality and reason. Meaning that the imperative does not apply to animals and nature and the environment is of no intrinsic value. In my opinion I think that there is a moral imperative to care for the environment. God gave us the duty of stewardship, putting us in charge of looking after the environment. Which means that humans do have a moral imperative to care for the environment. This idea comes from the understanding that God gave humans the environment for their use, and we should respect and nurture this gift. However, Christian teachings have shown that humans were also given the role of dominion over the environment, which essentially means that we can do whatever we want to the earth, because as it states in the Bible, the earth was made for our use. The idea of stewardship and dominion could be argued that they are only ideal for a Christian. An atheist may argue that the world and our environment that we live in is not a gift, and we have no higher responsibilities to look after the environment. Meaning that there is no moral imperative to care for...
