God Exists Natural World
384 words
To say that God does exist, is to say that we can
prove God exists by describing some proof we have
of this statement, or at least a being with what
we think some of the attributes of a God would be.
Since we cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that
God exists we have to infer certain things about
how we came to be. We can do this by using terms
such as motion and causality. These are terms that
attempt to explain that for every action there
must be a cause, or chain of events, In this case,
hu...

the fact that classic physical ideas were not
capable of explaining the observed behavior of
subatomic particles. In 1913, the Danish physicist
Neil's Bohr, proposed a successful quantum model
of the atom that began the process of a more
defined understanding of its su...

ARLT 100 January 29, 2000 Proper Hierarchy and the
Disorder of Separation Throughout the text of the
Bible, and especially evident in Chapter 3 of
Genesis, there is a system which God has set up to
denote the proper relationships each of his
creations share with each other and with Him. An
analysis of this reoccurring theme will help to
establish that God's intended system is a
hierarchy in which there is an apportionment of

the world for thousands of years and still does
today. Its sophistication peaked during the
Classical Period which has been called the Golden
Age of Greek art. The idea of being able to make
the world and people around oneself seem flawless
was captured through their art. From the usage of
geometric shapes to the idea of symmetry helped to
give way to the idea of equilibrium, a balance, to
which the Greeks held as one idea of perfection.

deviance to refer to any violation of norms-
whether the infraction is a minor as jaywalking,
or as serious as murder. This deceptively simple
definition takes us to the heart of the
sociological perspective of deviance, which
sociologist Howard S. Becker identified this way:
it is not the act itself, but the reactions to the

pain; loss of human contact means spiritual death;
and conscience must be carefully thought about.
The two stories that I felt applied the greatest
are The Black Cat and The Tell-Tale Heart. Each
