To my visitors, friends, teachers, pastors, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. I appreciate your presence in the one of my memorable happenings in my life. I’m so glad you all can witness how I’ve been nurtured and cared by my school. Firstly, I want to thank my parents for their incomparable effort to me in order to make me achieve the knowledge and wisdom I need. I don’t know how I can repay them for what they did to me, but I know that they taught me, because they truly love me. But most

Ch.2 Week 2 Notes: Cosmogonic myths pick up the action at a point just before the divine touch creates time and space.

Then if Thales applies heat to water, the water will turn into stream and when the steam condenses, water will form again. He also knew that the universe needed water to grow living organism. These same theories are still taught in or school system of today. Children learn his theories in Science class and test them out by using the same piece of ice and watch water through the different

The Problem of Evil William Lane Craig Examines both the logical and probabilistic arguments against God from suffering and evil. The problem of evil is certainly the greatest obstacle to belief in the existence of God. When I ponder both the extent and depth of suffering in the world, whether due to man’s inhumanity to man or to natural disasters, then I must confess that I find it hard to believe that God exists. No doubt many of you have felt the same way. Perhaps we should all become atheists

The teleological argument is one of the five arguments for the existence of god. It attempts to prove gods existence by using our experience of the world or universe around us. This makes it a posterior in nature. Teleological arguments can essentially be broken down into two main types pre Darwinian and post Darwinian.

The church dominated much of the thinking of this time and the Catholic Church condemned heliocentrism, which was the theory that the planets and Earth revolve around the sun and the sun is stationary at the center of the universe, and Galileo was warned to abandon his support for it.

Reality The similarities found between the three readings include claims that reality is not completely proofed by what our physical senses tell us. All of these perspectives view day to day living as a normal person would see it as bondage.
