1. Yes, I read the assignment in full detail.
2. My thoughts on the age old issue of “Materialism vs. Theism” is dependent on the assumed position of God. We cannot begin to announce that there is no practical difference between a material and a theistic world without a thorough understanding of what is meant by the terms being used. It seems to be the case that materialism is commonly used to describe a world of mind-independent substances that are in stable, constant existence. Furthermore, theism seems to refer to an all-powerful being known as God. I can agree with James that, if it is the case that the world only seems to be spiritual in a sense and is actually completely material and not spiritual, that it is possible that I would

3. His approach to the issue of of “Design in Nature” is that there is no sufficient condition to guarantee the nature of the world we experience. James tells us that the arguments of the past for intelligent design are no longer supported by our experience and, therefore must be false under all probable possibilities. He then explains that theologians have now reinterpreted their systems under the effects of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and found that there is no sufficient guarantee that the world was not, in fact, created. In other words, the world could very well have been created by God and evolution offers merely more information ot come to understand God’s creation. I believe that James is correct on this issue. There is overwhelming evidence that we came to be through a series of biological processes best explained by the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. There is no reasonable doubt that this theory is no the best among contenders. It is interesting to me, however, what this said about the nature of God if God did create humans in this way. There seems to be a large amount of suffering that occurs in the natural world essentially. Humans find suffering bad. Therefore, the natural world possesses bad qualities for humans. If this is so, God created a world that is essentially bad to humans; that is, human’s fins parts of it
Laduna, I really enjoyed reading your post. You gave a very good description of each question. I also think you did a great job on listing the steps that we use to code. It is very important that we go by the list that you listed in order to determine the correct code. I would hate to cause a billing error in the future all because I didn't go by the list. I definitely plan on keeping a copy to look at just to make sure I am coding correctly in the future. And I also liked how you explained the 4 conventions. At first I had the most trouble understanding exactly what the conventions were for but after reading about them a couple of times I understand them much better. And I also understand how important convention play in ICD-10-CM. I'm still
Directions: Teacher must create negotiations from the beginning of the project with the students. This will determine the criteria for the content, format, and final product. The contract will include that if the students struggle, they must go to teacher so teacher will help them.
I have examined task, tools and technology, knowledge, skills, ability, work activities and work context, interested code, work style and work values for job : 35-2014.00 –Cook and Restaurant, 21-1012.00 –Educational Guidance, School and Vocational Counselors; 27-2022.00-Coaches and Scouts. After reviewing the O.Net results, I will report my talents and lack of desire to do those occupations now, and aspiration to accomplish these positions.

The lesson on pan balance equations has a clear purpose. The teacher is aware of the state standard that all 8th graders are to take algebra. By introducing some pre-algebra skills to students now will allow them to build on this prior knowledge when they reach 8th grade. Mrs. Soglin clearly states the objective of today’s lesson at the beginning of class. She tells the class that today they are going to learn about equations and pan balance. She is also providing a visual aid of a pan balance to help the variation of learners in her class.
This is a report which has been created to introduce new childcare practitioners to safeguarding within a childcare setting. This will help new practitioners to understand current legislations within the United Kingdom.
In the Planning Ahead and the Planning for Instruction and Assessment sections indicates the EdTPA is composed of 3-5 consecutive lessons. Do we complete the two lesson required for this course consecutively? My placement site plans of Friday for the following week; how do I plan for commentary using the curriculum pacing guides provided to me that is also a district requirement?
Question 1) C.S Lewis like many of us was skeptical about several arguments made by intelligent design alone. After many years of research, he came up with arguments that demonstrate the world was not created by a divine intelligent design alone.
World War II was a war that proved to the world the awesome power of the United States. Many events led up to the U.S. involvement in the war, topped off by the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor. Many great people contributed to leading the United State to victory in the war. They include General Douglas MacArthur, General Dwight Eisenhower, and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. World War II also consisted of many major events including Operation Overlord and the U.S. bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Overall the United States played a major role in World War II and displayed their power through strong generals and their initiative and strong leadership in major
This chapter was consumed of arguments trying to answer how the universe was created, is there a god, and is god the one who created the world we live in and everything it offers, and what if god wasn’t the creature of the universe, does god exist at all? The argument of design stated that everything had to have been created by an intelligent designer. It argued that earths wonderful features could not have just happed out of the blue, they had to have had an intelligent designer, they had to have been created by god. The Best-Explanation Argument stated that intelligent design was much more reliable than pure chance. The Same- Evidence Argument stated that the universe is made up of parts that work together to accomplish something, so we can conclude that the universe was created by an intelligent designer. The Natural selection theory was
Prompt: Men and women face equal pressure to change their bodies to look good – I don’t agree!
“Intelligent design may be interesting as theology, but as science it is a fraud. It is a self-enclosed, tautological "theory" whose only holding is that when there are gaps in some area of scientific knowledge - in this case, evolution - they are to be filled by God. It is a "theory" that admits that evolution and natural selection explain such things as the development of drug resistance in bacteria and other such evolutionary changes within species, but that every once in while God steps into this world of constant and accumulating change and says, "I think I'll make me a lemur today. " A "theory" that violates the most basic requirement of anything pretending to be science - that it be empirically disprovable. How does one empirically disprove the proposition that God was behind the lemur, or evolution - or behind the motion of the tides or the "strong
Biology professor Kenneth Miller’s central argument is that science should not undermine one’s faith in God. “Science itself does not contradict the hypothesis of God.” He makes this argument by stating that science explains the things that God has made and in doing so, trying to prove the existence of God through natural or scientific means does not make sense. Once the supernatural is introduced, there is no way to use nature, thus science, to prove or disprove its existence. Miller argues that science gives us the window to the dynamic and creative universe that increases our appreciation of God’s work. The central point of his argument is evolution. Creationists, of the intelligent design movement, argue that nature has irreducible complex systems that could have only arisen from a creature or designer. This theory is widely supported among devout believers in the Bible and God. Miller argues that if they truly believe this, completely ignoring hard facts and theories, then they are seeking their God in the darkness. Miller, a Christian himself, believes that this “flow of logic is depressing”; to fear the acquisition of knowledge and suggest that the creator dwells in the shadows of science and understanding is taking us back to the Middle Ages, where people used God as an explanation for something they have yet to or want
The United States is the world’s number one consumer of narcotics and thus 90% of cocaine seized in the U.S. comes from Mexico due to the close geographical boundaries it is easy to smuggle illegal drugs into the U.S. from Mexico. The U.S.’s demand for narcotics and other drugs creates an 18-39 billion dollar market each year, all coming solely from drug sales. Drug violence is a direct result of protecting each business 's product. Cartels like the Zetas use violence to create a “brand” for their franchise. The violent cartels create a sense of fear so no one gets in their way and so others will comply with their wishes and demands.
Among the many fights against poverty, improving children’s’ health is one of the major responsibilities. A healthy child becomes a healthy adult, a person who has the ability to create a better life for them, the people around them, their community, and their countries. One of the core UNICEF objectives is to improve the health of the children of the world.
