Paley’s argument cannot be used to show there is an “impersonal‚ accidental forces because of its complexity. Thus‚ stumbling upon such an object provides good reason to conclude that there is a personal agent who designed it.” DePoe explains that Paley’s watch example suffered a major set back by the introduction of Darwin’s theory of evolution.

There are third graders with the new iPhone 5. This just shows how the priority of communication overcomes parents. With cell phones‚ a text is just a few buttons away. It is amazing how in the past‚ the fastest way to talk to someone far away was by snail mail. Sometimes it would take a couple of months just for the letter to be delivered. Now all it takes is a couple of seconds! The intelligence of these phones are also growing. Phones store more pictures‚ music and videos than ever. And now voice

With the aid of internet‚ mobile phones‚ Ipads or tablets and laptops‚ everyone can get in touch through the internet and treasure a myriad of pictures with just a click of a finger.

Furthermore‚ it is heartbreaking to hear that thousands of people die each day due to ignorance‚ wrong diagnoses and usage of analog devices.

sometimes the females will falsely attract a male‚ and when he arrives she will eat him. The buggy diet of a firefly is odd. The larva of a firefly eat the most as they need to fatten up to survive.The diet of an adult is slimy‚ they eat slugs and snails‚ they firstly find their prey‚ then they bite into the prey‚ injection poison which paralyzes it and starts to digest it making it a thick soup‚ then they suck it up through their jaws.

Hernán Cortés was a military leader who seek to gain control on the land and in no doubt was looking for gold from the start. Cortés was becoming selfish by wanting more of the Aztecs gifts and in effect he took control. I find that Cortés was becoming selfish because despite the many gifts that Moctezuma and the natives gave him‚ he wanted more and didn’t care about the natives. Throughout the story “from The Second Letter”‚ Cortés is in awe by all the goods they have in the market which he states

The text‚ however‚ centres on Paul –an interstate migrant experiencing a new life‚ but who is also

Is morality a relative concept? In any society there exists a somewhat mysterious consensus‚ which changes over the decades‚ and for which it is not pretentious to use the German loan-word Zeitgeist (spirit of the times). This spread of dates through the twentieth century is a gauge of the shifting Zeitgeist. Another is our attitude to race. In the early part of the twentieth century‚ almost everybody in Britain (and many other countries too) would be judged racist by today’s standards. Thomas
