...After reading through Genesis 1-11, it become apparent that the natural world was created by the all might God for man to enjoy, and throughout history, mankind has an inclination to stray from God’s plan to follow their own. This straying would inevitably result in man’s depravity and consequences from God himself. From the start of Genesis we see a progression of mankind’s morality drifting further and further from God. Man strays so far down the path of evil that God Himself regrets the world he created (Genesis 6:6-7). Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s first commandment, His creation has been plunged into darkness, and the natural order of the world has been turned upside down. When one reads through the first eleven chapters of...

...Phoenix Veronica Byro, Jamie Davis, Janene Long, Michael Menendez, Jorens Pierre PHI/215 October 12, 2011 Kelley Armitage Jean Paul Sartre Jean-Paul Sartre was a French philosopher, novelist, and playwright in the 20th Century. Jean-Paul’s key concepts that compromised his beliefs were known as the best philosophy back in the 20th Century. Jean-Paul believed in individual rights which led to Political Philosophy. Sartre’s was a Marxist that set his political economic theories. Jean-Paul’s main ideas, was that every human being are subject to their own rights and deserve to be free; this enhanced his theories. However, Sartre’s work and beliefs made him best known as an Atheist; a believer of his own thoughts. Mankind is responsible for his own actions, stated by Sartre. The Existentialism Jean-Paul Sartre, took the label that people placed on him and two other philosophers Heidegger and Albert; existentialists. Sartre was the only one out of the three to take to this label, because he felt as if he would then be allowed to define it; this was a step closer to him reaching his dreams in philosophy. The main key concept that was analyzed by Sartre is that existence proceeds essence, basically meaning that all human beings are defined by their own actions. Humans outcome on life are based on the choices that we make and all humans are completely free. Sartre’s beliefs on ethics also played a role within his key concepts similar to human actions define...

...historical Adam. This view has been expounded upon by Denis Lamoureux, a well-known professor who has lectured widely on the topic of evolutionary creationism. Evolutionary creationism posits that God used evolution to create man and used ancient views of science to impart specific inerrant truths [2]. This idea of using ancient science to give truth is called the “Message-Incident Principle” [3]. The second position is the archetypal view. Those who hold this view, such as John Walton, an influential scholar who has written several books on the topic, believe that Adam was a real man, but was used biblically as an archetype, or a representation of humanity as a whole. According to this view, Adam may or may not have been the father of mankind, and that the Bible should not be used as an argument against scientific evidence about human origins [4]. The third position, old-earth creationism, suggests that Adam was the real “[headwater] of humankind” but argues that the Bible does not limit the timeline of history to a young-earth perspective. This view has been vocally promoted by a seminary professor named C. John Collins, who has also written a famous book on the subject entitled Did Adam and Eve Really Exist?: Who They Were and Why You Should Care [5,6]. The fourth view, young-earth creationism, proposes a very literal interpretation of Genesis 1. According to this view, Adam was supernaturally created by God and was the father of the entire human race. Supporters of this view...

...Professor Martin September 25, 2011 Courtroom Observation The court case White vs. Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern took place in the United States District Court in the Northern District of Indiana. The defendants, Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern are pursuing a summary judgment. Summary judgment is the resolution of a case without trial if the judge deems that there are no disputes to the material facts of the case. The Defendants in this case claim there is no evidence to support that bartender John Daniels saw any visual signs of intoxication from Edward Hart and only contextual knowledge can be proven. If the defendants can prove there were in fact no visible signs of intoxication then they will not be subjected to any legal wrong doing based off the 1988 Indiana Supreme Court Case which stated that contextual knowledge alone will not suffice. The plaintiff, Deborah White, is requesting that the court denies the defendant’s request for summary judgment. The plaintiff claims to have sufficient evidence which will prove bartender John Daniels did see visible signs of intoxication from Edward Hart. Edward Hart had consumed 11 drinks within a two hour span while at the Tavern. Regardless of body type, shape or size that amount of Alcohol consumed by a single individual can reasonably infer that he had shown visible signs of intoxication. Edward Hart had been observed falling off of his stool as well as tripping over a pool stick by another patron in the bar. Upon leaving...

...rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe. Now the trumpet summons us again — not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are — but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation" — a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility — I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it — and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Finally...

Prepare, prepare! Prepare your hearts for Death's cold hand! prepare Your souls for flight, your bodies for the earth; Prepare your arms for glorious victory; Prepare your eyes to meet a holy God! Prepare, prepare! Whose fatal scroll is that? Methinks 'tis mine! Why sinks my heart, why faltereth my tongue? Had I three lives, I'd die in such a cause, And rise, with ghosts, over the well-fought field. Prepare, prepare! The arrows of Almighty God are drawn! Angels of Death stand in the louring heavens! Thousands of souls must seek the realms of light, And walk together on the clouds of heaven! Prepare, prepare! Soldiers, prepare! Our cause is Heaven's cause; Soldiers, prepare! Be worthy of our cause: Prepare to meet our fathers in the sky: Prepare, O troops, that are to fall to-day! Prepare, prepare!

...……………………………………………………………………………………..1 Brief Summary…..………………………………………………………………………………...1 Critical Evaluation...………………………………………………………………………………2 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………………...5 Bibliography………………………………………………………………………………………6 Introduction In the rise of the early Orthodox Church, the early church fathers were among the few privileged ones exposed to the Scriptures, thus, the Scriptures, not available for the common person to read, created a problem in understanding God’s written Word. But times have changed. Now that the believer has access to the Bible, the problem is not the lack of understanding, but the inability to obey the Word of God. According to Fee and Stuart: “In fact we are convinced that the single most serious problem people have with the Bible is not a lack of understanding but with the fact that they understand many things too well!... the problem is not understanding it, but obeying it.” Today there a more Bible translations than we can keep up with. While revising the third edition of How to Read the Bible for all it’s Worth, Fee and Stuart realized the need for an updated edition because of the prior translation issues. Thus, the authors realized that many things had changed as time evolved in reference to proper Bible interpretation and how to read the Bible in a way that one could receive maximum benefit, and, of course, understanding God’s will for all mankind,...

...security situations nowadays. This paper shall also in great detail debate whether or not Locke’s’ values and beliefs pertain to criminal justice as well as private security venues. A summary will be presented to identify key dissimilarities of the social contract theories, recognize key any principles connected with Locke’s social contract theory, label how these codes are instilled within the United States Bill of Rights, recognize how these principles show within the criminal justice system and security organizations of present, and lastly define independence in regards to personal rights and proper principles, and commitments. “A social contract is a voluntary agreement in which mutual benefit occurs between and for individuals, groups, government or a community as a whole. According to Locke, the State of Nature, the natural condition of mankind, is a state of perfect and complete liberty to conduct one's life as one best sees fit, free from the interference of others (Kelly, Martin. (2012)).” This doesn’t mean that it is a state of authorization: a citizen isn’t free to do whatever they wish, even if you feel it’s in your best interest. The State of Nature, while a state where there isn’t any civil power or regime to penalize individuals for indiscretions against any types of law, is not any type of state with any morals. The State of Nature is viewed as civilization prior to politics but not pre-moral. “Persons are assumed to be equal to one another...

...Eros and Agape Mr. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Wilmington University Eros and Agape Love is a powerful intoxicating emotion; it has prevailed over centuries of tribulations, and has helped mankind endure countless attacks of evil, and the unfortunate privation of life. Original sin unveiled intelligence that essentially hardened mankind’s hearts; it set us upon the path of hardships that spawned a need for redemption. It is important to note that there are actually four types of love which I suppose we’ve all experienced sometime in our lives. First there is Philos, which means friendship or brotherly love, the word is derived from Philadelphia, known as the “City of Brotherly Love”, second is Storge, which is a family love, referring to the close bond among mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, third is Eros, which refers to natural or sexual love that can exist between a man and a woman, and lastly Agape, also known as supernatural love, which refers to the unearned love God has for humanity, and, the love we should have for our neighbors’ salvation. Although there are several types of love, let’s evaluate and make distinction between Eros and Agape. Lets’ refer back to the beginning to explain the present. When I was young, I’ve heard that for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This may be the best example of agape, the unearned love God has for humanity. Consequently...

...PLAGIARISM & THE ESSAY Plagiarism is a serious academic offense, one which is far too prevalent in today’s academic environment. The penalties range from failing a class to expulsion from school. At The Paper Experts, plagiarism can result in loss of pay for a paper or dismissal from the company’s pool of writers. Nevertheless, many writers have discovered that internet-based sources have made it easy to “cut and paste” material into their own work, and too often they fail to properly document this material, resulting in plagiarism. Often this occurs accidentally through carelessness or mistakes. The key to understanding how plagiarism happens and how to avoid it is to understand the philosophy of writing and what makes an academic paper an essay. What is an Essay? Because academic essays involve using other people’s research, ideas, and opinions to support and defend the writer’s own thesis, many writers believe an essay simply assembles these outside sources. Too often, papers read like a series of quotations glued together with transition words like “additionally” or “in contrast.” This is not a real essay. This mistaken idea about what an essay is makes it easy to plagiarize because the writer is doing very little thinking or writing by him- or herself. A true academic essay develops a strong thesis statement in its introduction and spends the rest of the essay supporting and defending that thesis, both through the use of facts, ideas, and information from outside sources...

...71 Oedipus Complex, Mate Choice, Imprinting; an Evolutionary Reconsideration of a Freudian Concept based on Empirical Studies Tamas Bereczkei and Petra Gyuris∗ University of Pécs, Hungary Freud’s assumption that the Oedipal relationship plays an important part in shaping the future character of mate choice needs a scientific reconsideration that, in turn, requires setting an empirically testable explanation. The authors hypothesize that the close physical and emotional attachment between the mother and her son includes a sexual imprinting-like mechanism that influences the processing of childhood experiences. Here they present a set of experiments showing that adults prefer long-term partners who resemble the mental representation of their parent of the opposite sex. Furthermore, mating preferences were found to be shaped in the process of attachment; those mothers were most frequently used as mental models for their sons’ mate choice who provided more emotional warmth and less avoidance to their sons during childhood. The implications of the study’s results for the contemporary interpretation of Freudian theory are discussed. Key Words: Oedipal relationship; Mate preferences; Evolutionary psychology. Freud’s theory It is well known that the Oedipus complex plays a pivotal role in Sigmund Freud’s theory. This complex characterizes the early stage (between 3-5 years) of boys’ sexual objectchoice (Freud, 1905, 1938). During this period, boys have sexual feelings towards...
