Scientific discoveries that praised the wisdom of God were welcomed by the Church, while those who contradicted with the Scripture were restricted. Society also encouraged people to use scientific method and to investigate the truth, but constrained women from doing the studies. Overall, political, religious and social factors both contributed…

    Hinduism And Akasha Comparison

Empedocles believed that there wasn't a first element, because the universe was composed of all four elements, that matter existed because the four elements combined. For example, Empedocles believed that the sea was mostly composed of Water, but Air, Fire, and Earth were also within it, or it couldn't exist. Empedocles's idea of a combined Universe of Four Elements became the dominate philosophy, and other philosophers such as Plato, Hippocrates, Galen, and others expanded upon…

Utilizing newly learned methodology, old myths were debunked and new ideas were put in front of the public. These new contrary ideas were not only growing in the field of science, but also flowed over into the realms of religion, the arts, politics and the social ways of all citizens. The scientific movement in the 18th century was a critical part of history, as it ushered in some of the most important scientific finds built upon the discoveries of the 16th and 17th centuries, such as Bacon’s scientific method and Galileo’s astronomy research.

    Why Would Donald Trump Become President?

    I didn't like how the elections went this year. I don't like it because Donald Trump won and I think that because he won there will be a lot of bad things happening in the future. People are already being more racist than they were and he isn't even president yet. I think that there are going to be a lot of chaotic things happening because of Donald Trump. I also think that he would bring us the World War three because of how racist he is to other people . In the next few paragraphs I will be talking about why I think this and how it is already a problem that he is going to be president.…

    Epistomological Revolution

    To begin this essay, I first would like to discuss the problem I am to tackle with my synthesis of the three disciplines enlighteningly lectured to me during the course of GREATWK. Growing up as a child, ignorant was I of the great events that would and had occurred in the country of my birth, the Philippines. Little did I know of the problems faced by its citizens and its government, and every time I would see something in the television I did not comprehend of why such things occur, I would immediately ask my parents, my primary source of enlightenment at the given period and proximity, and they would tell me it is due to the bad people in society and I nod in conformity with the feeling of my inquiry satisfyingly answered. Only now that I have matured and opened my eyes to the great world that we are in have I seen and understood in an adequate level the tribulations in which our society was facing. The most unanticipated of which is that of the problems regarding and related to the Church.…
