Argumentative Analysis: Chaucer's Interest In The Middle Ages

Part A When considering both examples, the language, flow, and structure was better integrated throughout example two in comparison to example one. When reading example one, the author’s structure was very choppy due to the extensive usage of simple sentences. While consecutive simple sentences help highlight key points, the author’s lack of transition words, in regards to William Morris’s book designs, gave the impression that he/she was listing a series of facts given to the individual, rather than explaining each example. An example of this can be seen within the first couple sentences as the author states that “William Morris's Chaucer was his masterpiece. It shows his interest in the Middle Ages. The type is based on medieval manuscript
While there are some positives to this theory, there are also some serious dangers when using this theory as well. When looking at theist’s use of this argument, one can see that their purpose was to remove certain gaps that science cannot figure out at the current moment in time. When they do finally come up with a scientifically proven answer, they will be able to replace their notion of “God did it” to the derived answer. When looking at the first excerpt, it states that “many of the key steps in the transformation of inanimate matter to living cells are now understood in considerable detail” because of this mentality. Granted, this is not considered the answer to all, but by using the “God-of-the-gaps,” theists could give an answer to questions that seemingly had no answer. An example of this can be seen when an individual state that they do not know how cells work, and that cells are a phenomenon only God could create. After stating that, individuals kept researching it and now can create living cells from scratch. By using this method, people will be able to have a placeholder answer as they look for a definitive answer to their continued scientific
Scientists have argued that by having this mentality, it would not “lead to new experiments…[and] tend to stop research.” They are stating that if people start saying God is the answer to everything, then many people will be less motivated to find the exact answer, but instead are content with the idea that God created a phenomenon in which humans will never be able to understand. A hypothetical example of how the “God-of-the-gaps” could be detrimental would be if people stated that human genetics was just the work of God and that every human is unique because God made each one of us. While this statement has some truth into it, if this idea was left with that theory, then the discovery of genetics, chromosomes, and heredity would have been lost forever. Just based off of these three studies in biology, millions of people with rare diseases and conditions within their genetics would not have been saved if we just left it to the idea that only God would understand the minutiae of human diversity. With this in mind, one can see the dangers that encompass
