The Natural World The poem “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” by Walt Whitman is talking about him listening to an educated astronomer lecture using his proofs, figures, columns, charts, diagrams and how to add, divide, and measure them. While he was sitting in the lecture room with that astronomer teaching, the rest of the room began to applause. It seemed to be too much for him because he became unaccountably tired and sick. He felt that way until he left the room and went outside and…

natural world. God gave humans command over the world, its animals, and also the responsibility to maintain it. Somehow, at some period of time humans started to take advantage of the earth, no longer taking just what they needed but rather what they desired. Is the fall to blame for this? Did humans fall out of harmony with nature as they fell out of the garden of Eden? Whether all humans believe in this myth or not, most of the history in relationships with other humans and the natural world…

With every good deed that they committed there comes an equal evil action that accompanies it and evens it out in a universal law of equilibrium. “Do I dare to change the universe,” (Eliot line 51-52) shifting the world and cutting off this balance point? I would if it meant the world would be a better place to live in but I have this deep fear that I might…

Twenty years ago in the year 2030, I was a middle aged women striving to be the world 's best historian. I had so many plans to give the current generation at that time the best knowledge than any of us had gotten. I gave the world a chance to see History in a new light, the real light of how History happened.

happens, but somehow still manages to develop a relationship with his children. Everyday thousands of Christians bring their trouble and problems to God, and he always stands ready with his arms open ready to forgive and love. Instead of ruling over the world like his people are his slaves, he talks and loves each one, for example in Romans 5:8 it says, “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinner, Christ died for us.” Somehow God always forgives always loves and always…

The world now was not the same as it used to be before. In other words, because of the death of one butterfly, now people even changed their way of thinking. The language, environment and the room were not the same. Now people loved the president they once hated that day in the present before the journey happened. Thus, it can be seen how everything in this world is so interconnected and how could the misuse of technology lead to massive…

everything physical that exists is simply matter in space.” “Descartes believed that he could infallibly deduce another crucial principle: the existence of a good God, who guarantees the truth of my perceptions and so underwrites the existence of the world” (Kirsch 2016). At this point in time, Descartes believes that he is more modern than those he has succeeded. However, it can be predicted that when someone after him advances his research and or deems it something unworthy of acknowledgement,…

Solzhenitsyn’s “New Generation” wants us to understand that the nature of the universe is open to any possible thing. He addresses that the world changes when he talks about women. In Solzhenitsyn’s “new Generation,” he mentions “in only a few short years women have acquired personal freedom in their intimate lives-sexual liberation.” From this I understood that the world changes and the universe is open to it. The universe has no effect whether changes occur, therefore it is open to new things.…
