influential philosopher during the Late Roman Empire‚ and gave a very compelling explanation for the existence of evil. Before Augustine’s explanation‚ Christians would have to accept that God created evil‚ meaning God is partially evil. Due to Augustine’s belief that evil does not have substance‚ which I will defend‚ it gave Christians piece of mind knowing that God is truly good. Anything created by God is susceptible to corruption‚ all of his creations are good‚ but not as good as him‚ due to our human

Concrete proof and evidence is required for a theory to be believable. The beast theory in the book Lord Of The Flies lacks concrete proof which makes me agree with Simon’s statement “maybe there is a beast...what I mean.. maybe it’s only us”.

Then the littluns mentioned that the beast was “a

Our world is filled with corruption; this proves that there is no God if he cannot help us by preventing evil. The argument of evil basically states that God and evil cannot coincide. There are two types of evil; moral‚ which is carried out by humans through immoral actions that cause pain and suffering such as murder‚ rape and so forth.

Dear Phillip Noyce‚ My name is Anna Marie and is currently studying the topic Belonging. I was deeply moved by your film ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’ as it has helped me understand the importance of Belonging. The two scenes which I thought stressed the importance of Belonging the most were when the girls arrived at the Moore River Institution and in ‘Lost’ during Molly and Daisy’s journey along the fence to Jigalong.

The concept of embodied existence is incoherent Theories about life after death all concern whether or not there is a part of the human body which survives the death‚ specifically the soul‚ and if it does where or when it goes post death. Embodied existence is the idea that we can in a physical sense‚ survive death and live on as physical matter‚ rather than an aspect of us‚ such as our soul living a spiritual‚ disembodied existence after death.
