About John Locke, he is a philosopher from the 1600s and had ideas about how humans are in their natural habitat. His theory was that people were born as a ball of clay and the job to mold that clay into something good was the job of the environment the baby is born in. The ball of clay would be molded by people or things in the environment. So if someone was in a bad environment like their parents or a very close friend are doing drugs or are in a gang, his theory would say that he would get involved

Locke’s argument is logical since it is reasonable that one is born without innate knowledge. As humans grow older and wiser, they experience certain sensations that allow them to perceive the world around them.

Without the background information of the senses and the reflections that we receive from it, then the simple ideas would not be able

In addition to believing that space is an a priori intuition, Kant believed that time is also an a priori intuition. Likewise, Kant backs up his claim with four points. The first reason why Kant believes that time is an a priori intuition is because knowledge of time is not discovered through empirical abstraction. Kant does not believe that time can come from what he calls “outward experiences”. Additionally, Kant believes that in order to expeierence something external (such as time), it has

Resurrection is more likely to be true than reincarnation. Discuss (35) For thousands of years human beings have entertained thoughts of afterlife, of something continuing on after their lives. Perhaps the implications of this have been the motivation to develop such beliefs. Perhaps it is the attraction of meeting loved ones again in the future, perhaps just a way to make the notion of karmic law sound more believable. Often, beliefs concerning life after death involve some kind of deity or god

According to the dictionary definition, a miracle is defined as: ‘a highly improbable or extraordinary event

There is no Hope of Doing Perfect Research (Griffiths, 1998, p 97) Research is a systematic way of examining various phenomena to gain knowledge and establish new facts and principles. It entails the use of certain specific methods to obtain precise and consistent information which is then used to draw relevant conclusions on a subject. Research improves our understanding on concepts and unearths new information on areas that very little or nothing is known (Locke, Silverman and Spirduso 4). However
