Gods existence is in a higher magnitude than just bigfoot. God’s existence is proven by many arguments like the First Cause and the Kalam Cosmological Argument. The first cause proves Gods existence by saying how anything that exists has an original cause and what exists is caused by God, the only uncaused first cause. People also try and disprove God by trying to point out imperfections of existence like the creation of evil. This does not convince however that God does not exist because evil is necessary for the good.
He also claims that he is invisible because he is black displaying society’s racial prejudice against blacks. The narrator’s identity lies in being invisible which he finally realizes after many years. The invisible man also realizes that for him to hold some sort of shape he needs light since truth is light. He has lived in darkness for many years before realizing his identity as an invisible man and now lights up his home for he now knows who he is. Although invisibility may be an annoyance for the narrator, it is also a form of freedom and a sense of control over others.
Many that hold the view that God can do anything run into problems; if God can do everything, could he create a five sided triangle? If holding the view that God can do anything it would seem this is logical as God could change the definition of a triangle. But it seems illogical that God would have this sort of power to change the past, as it is contradictory. It could be argued that God’s omnipotence is not a logically coherent concept; humans have two arms and two legs to enable us to run but the other attributes of God contradict each other because if he is all powerful yes he can do anything but also saying that God has always existed suggests a God like Aristotle’s, a prime mover. Taking Aristotle’s prime mover that exists outside of space and time and therefore cannot have any matter and so can’t run does this mean that we are better than God by being able to do something he cannot.
(Page 217/218) No black man should feel sorry for a white person. The witnesses of this cross examination were shocked and this shows how prejudice they were- they believed that no black man can feel sorry for their superiors. Another factor that was deeply prejudice during Tom Robinson’s trial, was when Mr Gilmer has trouble trusting Tom’s statement when Tom says that he helped Mayella out of kindness and no money. He did not believe a black man could do a simple chore from the goodness of their heart for nothing! Also when Tom is called big buck- Mr Gilmer is treating Tom as if he were more of an animal.
This means that since it is god then that is the most important way of communicating with god. another reason for disagreeing is there where many prophets beside muhhamed and each prophet had a different version of gods words. this proves that muhhamed isnt as important since there are many prophets. The final reason for disagreeing is that Qur'ans and angels still exist where as muhhamed died a long time
THE CRUSADERS AND THE CHURCH The crusades represent a part of church history that many have attempted to forget and leave hidden within the history books. Some claim the crusades to be a courageous time for the Christian church as they attempted to trample out false doctrine and protect the Holy Land from the cult of Islam. Others will quickly identify the crusades as the darkest and most regretful period of time in the history of the church. Either way, there is much detail surrounding the history of the crusades and how they developed. It is not quite as easy as a black and white assumption because many of the men involved had mixed intentions and sentiments regarding what the crusades were actually about.
Justice of Creation Victor Frankenstein created a living, thinking, and intelligent creature, and with that comes certain responsibilities. Even though he should not have tried to “play God” and create someone that is the same, in all but physical appearance to other human beings. I’d like to discuss Victor creating the creature, the responsibilities that he should have accepted when he created him, and the consequences of the aforementioned decisions. First, Victor Frankenstein, or any other person on this earth at any time, has absolutely no right or power to create life. There is a relatively strong connection to God in this book and many people during this time period believed in God.
He had many more points that just charity and consistency, and they were all very important, but I thought these two were the most interesting and most controversial within today’s society. Emerson’s view on anti-religion is also a strong subject that is viewed down upon by most people. Emerson felt the Christian religion dampened the spirit rather than bringing it up. Although Emerson was against religion in some ways, he still mentions God and a “higher power” throughout his essay, so it shows that he does believe in some form of higher power. Hitchens is very anti-religious and is a well-known atheist.
This shows that only certain people in the world are willing and able to discover truth. Since most of the cavemen do not have any chance to leave the cave or even turn their necks, they assume that the shadows are the real objects. This parallels the situation the villagers are in. People tend to perceive false and wrong things as if they were real. Both stories make a point that most humans live in an imagined or falsely perceived world without knowing the truth or having the willingness to accept knowledge.
These teachings included beliefs that God created the universe as well as controlled the universe. Therefore, when somebody started to questioning God as the cause of the universe and earth, people became flustered with anger(Kreis). The scientist that made these statements were very brave to keep studying and spreading the knowledge of the universe because some may even have been incrimminated from the church or punished in some way. The Elizabethans got most of their knowledge and theories from a past astronomer named
