(As you can guess, different fuels begin burning at different temperatures.) Heat or ignition sources lift fuel (combustible material) to its activation energy to start the fire. The fire generates heat which sustains the chemical reaction; the blaze continues and spreads. Some firefighting tactics shield the fuel from air (oxygen) to extinguish the blaze. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers expel a cold fog of CO2 that cuts a fire off from its air supply.
A great quote to go by “I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught,” stated by Winston Churchill. If not taught Henrietta Lack’s story no one would know, she made one of the greatest contributions ever without any viable consent, her cells would be used. Her cells are considered to be at least a medical blessing. She had very special cells and if it were not for her we would not have, for one example, the polio vaccine. In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, prejudice extends past race and gender to include unethical verdicts.
Catholic people think that if you believe in God miracles seem more obvious to you and if you deny and test the existence of God then it will be harder to see the miracles happen. If God really is behind all of the natural laws, he is not restricted by them therefore He is allowed to violate them from time to time. This also contradicts the fact that God is omnibenevolant and defeats the saying that ‘all humans are equal’. There are a lot of problems with using miracles to prove Gods existence, some say that one person’s miracle is not one to another person, we have some sort of scientific explanations to miracles that happened in the bible, so in the future we could have explanations to miracles that
Faith is what truly kills doubt. To have faith is a great thing because it helps us believe in a religion, without it people would not have religions. The foundation for religion is faith, if everything was proven then we would not need religion, but science cannot answer everything. Anyone who is mentally stable and can think for themselves knows that science cannot answer all of life’s questions and it is based on theories that cannot be proven. Bill Maher had the audacity to say “religion is a neurological disorder”.
Anthony Flew developed the falsification principle. The falsification principle states that “A statement is meaningful if the speaker is able to state (at least in theory) what would count against it”. For example the statement “all swans are pink” is only meaningful if the speaker is willing to accept the statement to be false if non pink swans are sighted. The falsification principle challenges the meaningfulness of religious language. Flew argued that religious believers don’t allow any evidence to account against their beliefs therefore Flew comes to the conclusion that religious language is meaningless.
Paul Giulio 5/2/12 PHI100 Professor Kroll Letter to Dr. Mathews Dear Dr. Mathews, I have recently heard of your latest medical operation in which you perform body transplants, this new technology is very exciting. I believe body transplants could be a very helpful medical procedure and will ultimately end up saving many lives. However, your newest medical procedure, brain rejuvenation is an extremely risky operation that could lead to false identification and lack of uniqueness in the world. You have already had the procedure successfully passed by the committee, but I would like to point out issues with the brain rejuvenation process that might not have been thought about. First I would like to point out your view in the case of
However, in the New Testament God heals and individual who is blind and lets others die. A strength of Maurice Wiles argument is that it appeals to educated believers of God and scientific laws. This I because Wiles says that the concept of miracles can exist as it is "logically impossible" to prove miracle wrong scientifically. By saying this, Wiles is allowing religious people to also uphold their beliefs in scientific laws. A second strength of Maurice Wile's argument against miracles is that it allows a re-interpretation of miracle.
Swinburne would argue that St. Theresa’s character would not lie about a supposed religious experience due to her deep faith in God and morals suggesting that her visions must have been from an external agent. On the other hand, it could be heavily argued that scientific advances could prove otherwise and expose the visions of Christ as an act of the mind ‘playing tricks’. Science has shown that the temporal lobe when stimulated through seizures can produce an altered perception such as religious experiences of this variety. St. Theresa had these visions in the 1500’s when science was in its earliest stages and religion was an answer for everything; these factors appear to support Richard Swinburne’s defence of certain types of characters not lying in support of
“He doesn’t know about this one or the one before.” Celia talking to Minny in the bathroom, after having a miscarriage. She really wants a kid by Mister Johnny, “I wanted this baby to look just like Johnny.” letting out a big sigh while still talking to Minny. She feels like that’s the only way Johnny will love her and keep her. These two are liberal in their thinking. They don’t necessarily believe nor do what the other ladies think its right.
For example, on Damascus Road, Saint Paul’s religious experience transformed his moral outlook. It would appear that all religious experiences demonstrate a revelation of truth, but one could argue that this does not indicate they are true. As Freud would argue that religious experiences are a way of externalising deep, repressed personal truths. In such a view, religious experiences are unverifiable and cannot be thought to prove the existence of God, as they are merely manifestations of the human subconsciousness. A transient experience short, and cannot be sustained for a long duration of time.
