...The gutters on your home are hard working. They take all the water that hits your roof and redirects it down the side of the house and away from the foundation. Gutters can work for years without any problems. However, over time, they can start to develop problems that need attention. That is when you need to call for gutter repair. Is the Water Flowing in the Right Direction? Gutters are installed with a slight slope so that the water they catch gets directed into the downspouts. Over time, that slope can be changed, causing the water to go in the wrong direction. The upside of the slope may be pushed down due to loose fasteners. Damage caused by falling limbs can tilt the gutter in the wrong direction. Correcting the flow of the water is...

...Controlling the Climate and Weather Recall the pleasure derived from the last time you took a walk through a park on a day when the weather was perfect. The sunshine was bright, the temperature was perfect, and perhaps there was a slight breeze that left you the ultimate feeling of refreshment as it caressed your face. Or perhaps you can remember the last time you enjoyed the sounds and smells of a light April shower that left the trees and grass looking so green and the air so fresh that you just couldn’t resist taking a deep cleansing breath. No doubt everyone can remember times such as these or similar instances when the weather was responsible for bringing them a lift in spirit. Now imagine that you had the ability to control the weather and climate. Perhaps your first response to this idea is that such a thing is, and always will be, impossible. But you would be wrong in your assumption. In our modern world there is a science called Geo-Engineering that has become a political issue. Geo-Engineering is the ability of scientists to control the climate and weather in various areas and for various reasons. The issue we are all faced with is whether or not having this control is a good thing or a bad thing. First of all we must answer the question of whether Geo-Engineering is a reality. Without question it is, and has been for decades. Scientists have successfully demonstrated in numerous ways the ability to be able to control the climate and weather. How...

...“They do not know how the various alternatives will affect their particular case and they are obliged to evaluate principles solely on the basis of general consideration.”(Rawls 118) The veil is a completely hypothetical concept that Rawls uses to explain what justice means. I do agree that under this veil, the laws agreed upon would allow each person the same advantages or disadvantages. However, this veil of ignorance cannot be applied to reality because no such situation has ever existed. Each person has characteristics that cannot be taken away, so each person has a unique identity. No matter how fair a group of individuals tries to be, they will each work to benefit themselves. This holds true even under the veil of ignorance. The ‘original position’ defined by Rawls is the only time in which truly just laws could be agreed upon, but it still holds true that everyone will act selfishly. If each person does not know anything about their identity, then they would agree to justice only to avoid being at a disadvantage. Each person would want to create laws that...

...Judaism’s Rejection of the Original Sin In the bible, the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis serves as scriptural evidence of humankind’s first transgression of God’s command resulting in the expulsion from paradise. Christians claim that humans are tainted from the fall and many scholars reinforce the idea of a recovery narrative, which depicts the bible as following a pattern of decline and recovery, thereby reinforcing the belief that something was once lost and must be recovered. After mankind’s fall from the state of perfection, Christians believed that Jesus was their savior and would consequently sacrifice himself in order to redeem man. Through the act of disobedience in Genesis emerged the concept of the original sin, which stipulates that humans are born sinners and that sins pass from parent to child as an inherited characteristic. Jewish believers, however, often criticize this notion and although they acknowledge that the human race came under the dominion of sin, which would affect their subsequent environment, Judaism, unlike Christianity denies that man is born into this world in a state of sin. Judaism affirms that the act of sinning is not part of the human condition but rather represents a conflict between two opposing inclinations (a good and an evil tendency) and that man has the ability to resist sin and can overcome the evil inclination by willing himself to become a righteous person. Therefore, Jewish people believe that man is inherently...

...Short Essay #1 Short Essay on Hamartiology Harmartiology is the study of sin. Many people have confusion on the reason why it existent’s when God created the world. Recently, a neighbor questions the very thing. He’s having trouble with his faith and doesn’t understand why natural catastrophes, disease’s and other things that plagued humans. Before this question can be answered it’s important to know the truth of evil in a Biblical view. The problem with evil is the perception of what it is. In today’s society evil acts are not considered evil; most are justified for the purpose. Evil is an act of that is not “not in the keeping with the nature or will of God.”[1] If a person decides to commit adultery repeatedly, the excuse could be because he/she does not feel loved; therefore the act is justified and excusable. Conversely, that is not the case. The act is a sin, period. Humans are called to live according to Gods laws and when people commit sin it’s important to repent and turn from sin, which is seen in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land”. In today’s society people do not look at sin as evil acts that hurt people, when people are hurt then the question becomes “If there was a God, why is their pain; a good God wouldn’t hurt the ones He loves.” There are two types of evil, moral...

...Bibl 105-B17 Vereen, Steve Genesis 1 starts off, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” which indicates that God is the source of the entire natural world. From this creation, we have day and night, land and water, heaven and earth. All the stars, moons, and planets are His design. Everything we see today is a result of that creation. All these things He created for His own pleasure. God desired to populate the earth. He did this with animals and humans. This means God also created man (and woman). All was flawless in the world. There was no death, no sin. Adam and Eve had a perfect relationship with each other, and with God. He had created them in His own image. He walked and talked with them frequently. He gave Adam complete control of everything in the garden, allowing them to eat “of every tree of the garden” (Gen.2:16, NKJV) except for “the tree of knowledge and evil” (Gen. 2:17, NKJV). As long as Adam followed this one rule, he and eve were welcome in the garden. This all changed when Eve allowed herself to be tempted by Satan while Adam stood idly by. At this point, all perfection came to an end. Death, both physical and spiritual, had entered the world. Adam and Eve had disobeyed God’s one commandment. They were thrown out of Eden, and separated from God. This one act has had massive impact on the entire population of the world ever since. The next generation, and all generations that followed, wasn’t immune from sin. The story of Cain and Abel...

...Worldview Paper A worldview is how we look at the world around us. Whether a Christian or secular worldview, it is a filter or lens from which one sees and interprets the world and all that it represents. An example of this would be when a teacher divides her class into different sections, hands out different color tinted glasses, holds up a white blank sheet of paper and asks her class what color the sheet of paper is. The class will view the paper in different colors because their view was affected by the different color tinted glasses. In the same way, our view will impact how we look at life. (109 words) The question of origin asks how life began and how mankind came into existence. God created life out of nothing (Genesis 1:1-25) and then He created man, male and female, in His own image (Genesis 1:26-27). The question of identity asks what it means to be human and if humans are more important than animals. Mankind is a special creation of God because we were created in the image of God and a little lower than the heavenly beings (Psalms 8:5). Humans are more important than animals, when God created mankind, we were given the responsibility of caring for the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and animals that move upon the earth (Genesis 1:28). The question of meaning or purpose asks we exist. We exist to love the Lord, to fear Him, to walk in His ways (Deuteronomy 10:12) and to serve Him and keep his commandments (Deuteronomy 11:13). The question of morality...

...Myths in Golding’s novels “The Spire” and “Lord of the flies” A famous English writer William Golding was born in Cornwall, England. Golding started writing at the age of seven, but following the wishes of his parents, he studied first natural sciences and then English at Brasenose College,Oxford. Golding’s first book, a collection of poems, apperad in 1934. After study at university Golding moved to Salisbury, where he began teaching English and philosophy. During World War II, Golding served in the Royal Navy(armada) in command of a rocket ship. In 1945 Golding returned to writing and teaching, with a dark view of the European civilization. In many novels Golding has showed the dark places of human heart. His work is caracterized by exploration of “the darkness of man’s heart”, deep spiritual and ethical questions. In Salisbury Golding wrote several books, but did not get them published. “ Lord of the Flies”, an allegorical story set in the near future during war time, was turned down by many publishers until it finally appeared in 1954. The famous English writer Forster named this book “ The Book of the years”. At the time of its appearance,Golding was forty four, but the success of the novel allowed him to give up teaching. In the exciting story a group of small British boys, standed on a desert island, fall into violence after they have lost all adult guidance. Ironically, the adult world is ruined by nuclear war. The novel “ The Spire” concerned the construction of...

...JUAN PABLO II AUDIENCIA GENERAL Miércoles 18 de junio de 1980 El fenómeno de la vergüenza originaria del hombre como consecuencia del pecado original 1. En el Génesis 3 se describe con precisión sorprendente el fenómeno de la vergüenza, que apareció en el primer hombre juntamente con el pecado original. Una reflexión atenta sobre este texto nos permite deducir que la vergüenza, subintrada en la seguridad absoluta ligada con el anterior estado de inocencia originaria en la relación recíproca entre el hombre y la mujer, tiene una dimensión profunda. A este respecto es preciso volver a leer hasta el final el capítulo tercero del Génesis, y no limitarse al versículo 7 ni a los versículos 1011, que contienen el testimonio acerca de la primera experiencia de la vergüenza. He aquí que, después de esta narración, se rompe el diálogo de DiosYahvé con el hombre y la mujer, y comienza un monólogo. Yahvé se dirige a la mujer y habla en primer lugar de los dolores del parto que, de ahora en adelante, la acompañarán: "Multiplicaré los trabajos de tus preñeces. Parirás con dolor los hijos." (Gén 3, 16). A esto sigue la expresión que caracteriza la futura relación de ambos, del hombre y de la mujer: "Buscarás con ardor a tu marido, que te dominará" (Gén 3, 16). 2. Estas palabras, igual que las del Génesis 2, 24, tienen un carácter de perspectiva. La formulación incisiva de 3, 16 parece referirse al conjunto de los hechos, que en cierto modo surgieron ya en la experiencia originaria...

...Whether Young Goodman Brown dreamed the night in the forest is a question the reader must decide for himself. To me, it doesn't matter whether it's a dream or not because Young Goodman Brown believes in his heart and soul that it did happen, and this changes the rest of his life. Brown makes the decision to give up on humankind and believe his wife and friends are evil, and he spends the remainder of his life alone, feeling that evil has won out over good. The Puritans believed that all people are evil because of the "original sin" committed by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It is only through belief in God and living a pure life that man can overcome evil. Brown's night in the forest, whether a dream or reality, takes away his belief in humanity. The Black Mass in the forest forces Brown to see himself as just one evil part of a corrupt race of sinners. Goodman realizes that Faith, his wife, is now a witch. In essence, he’s lost his faith. He then wakes up in the woods unsure as to whether or not it was all a dream. So there you have it, the age old “was that a dream” feeling when you wake up in a strange place, not knowing how you got there. Though, similar thoughts may include “where am I,” “What did I do,” and “What did I drink?” Either way, he’s in the woods, and once he arrives back in town, he can’t come to terms with what he has seen, and he lives his life out in gloom, unable to trust even his own wife. , I really want to question whether or not what Goodman...

...CHANGE By: Mae I was born in this world with the original sin of my first parents – Adam and Eve. So, I was baptized to erase my original sin and I was welcomed into the Christian World. I was raised by my parents with the reminder that I should love God and be thankful for him. They taught me to obey and respect other people. They taught me to be a good person. As I was growing older, I began to commit sins like disobeying my parents, saying and doing bad things to other people. I also started not to attend Sunday Mass and at that point I’m beginning to feel awful as a person. I feel bad for the things I’ve done. Thus, I remembered what my teacher said when I was in elementary, “Confess and repent.” I admit that I’m going in the wrong direction and I’m willing to face my sins and the consequences for it. So as one of the message of John the Baptist, I’m ready for repentance. I want to go back to God who I am ultimately belong. I will change to be a better person and I will avoid doing the things that I’ve done before. I will obey my parents again. I will say sorry to the people I’ve hurt. And lastly, I want to attend Sunday Mass and “isabuhay” the teachings of the Church. I want to confess everything I’ve done and I want to ask for forgiveness. I am sincere that I want to go back to God. I want to rebuild my relationship to him. Thus, I’m willing to be generous to other people especially to the poor to make them feel that they are special in their own ways. I want my...
