Other ways to communicate ideas in a greater scale were books and poetry. Many writings that were written then are still used today, the ideas and points made were so moving that they help us figure out problems still in the here and now. Abigail Adams, wife to John Adams was very into freedom and the equality of rights to all people. Being a woman in the colonial days, she had few rights.

...question that is looked under a microscope and probed through both biblical theories, as well as scientific. Looking at difference evidence, acceptance of creation is growing even in spite of scientists trying to prove evolution. Within this paper, there will be different pieces of evidence and facts supporting each theory and there will be an argument, within my conclusion, on which theory I support. The theory of creation can be explained through various books in the bible. Creationists use the Bible as the truth for which they believe the origin of life came into existence. In bible studies and bible school, we were taught that God took clay from the ground which he shaped to a man that he called Adam. A verse in the King James Version, of the Bible, mentions “and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Then, the Lord made a garden as Adam’s place of residency. There are pictures of beautiful trees and animals that were created to accompany Adam, only one thing was missing, a woman. A woman was to provide and care for Adam. I was taught that God took a rib from Adam and made a woman from this. The next morning, there was a woman who accompanied Adam. Next, the theory of creation can be explained through...

...God created everything, the Universe, and all life on earth. Naturalism states that this has always been and over time, what observed today is the result, We as Christians see this different, God created all in ex nihilo, not do to random events. Psalms 139:13-16 identifies God as the first cause and creator. Being Human The question of what is it to be human has many divides. Being a human being is far different from any of Gods other creations. Genesis 1:26-28 places humankind over animals and additional reading shows that humankind is above the animals but lower than the Angels. This places humankind as closer to God, Having been given souls and created in the image of God, where animals are not created in Gods image, unlike Adam. Darwin and associated beliefs that humankind resulted in random chance and the passage of DNA to advance all life as seen today,...

...Jackson, the seventh president, is one of the most important and significant presidents in the history of the United States. As a vice-president and president (1824 to 1832) he reshaped and redirected the course of American expansion and democracy. Jackson believed the president is the direct representative of the people. He was the man of action and shrewd politician. He knew how to manipulate men and could be affable or abusive or abusive as the occasion demanded.(nation of nations, 2005 ) Andrew Jackson came to personify the new democratic culture. Through his forceful leadership he significantly expanded the powers of the presidency. Jackson threatened to use force against South Carolina when it tried to nullify the federal tariff using john c. Calhoun’s theory of nullification that is that a state convention could nullify a federal law. He vetoed a bill to recharter the second bank of the United States and destroyed the bank by removing its federal deposits. He called for legislation to remove native peoples west to of the Mississippi voiding treaties found legitimate by the Supreme Court during the winter months of 1835-36 to ensure the greatest suffering to these peoples. One quarter of the tribal people died in transit to Oklahoma during this move. Jacksonian era went through the deep and rapid changes. The revolution in markets brought both economic expansion and periodic depressions as its citizens competed for status and wealth. He converted the veto into an effective...

One of God’s most cherished creations, Lucifer, was placed in charge of guarding his royal thrown (Ezekiel 28:12-16). One day Lucifer took pride in his own beauty and his heart was filled with pride (Ezekiel 28:17). He began to think highly of himself and began to think wrongly of God. He began to take what rightfully belonged to God and began to put himself in God’s place. For the first time in all creation, one of his own had sinned against him. God judged him accordingly and placed him in the lake of fire (Matthew 25:41). The sacred scriptures tell us that after the fall, Lucifer was thereafter known as the Devil or the accuser. One question that remains to be answered is this: when did this event occur? Some theologians claim that Satan’s fall occurred before Genesis 1:1. Others contend that there was a gap that took place between...

...succession planning. It also explores the benefits of new approaches such as social networking media and websites to find the best leaders available to the organisation and traditional ways such as mentoring programmes to develop potential leaders. The purpose of the article was to review the importance of organisational leaders and the process of selecting the most suitable one. It highlights why the process itself is very important and how it affects the outcome of the selection greatly. The authors depended greatly on other research papers and scholar journals as evidences to justify their choice of strategies. Most of the strategies presented were also echoed from other researchers and reporters. For example, the authors mentioned social networking medias and websites as tools that could assist in the recruitment process. The authors mentioned that they are very new and that there have been very little research done about them (Doherty, 2010). Despite this, Adams (2011) noted that Jobvite had done a survey of which “two thirds of employers said they had successfully filled a job using social networking.” This supports the authors’ stand on the growing trend of using social networking medias and...
