Recommended: Ecumenical interfaith dialogue

I would agree with you on the argument of Biola being considered a monistic university as partially true. I have experienced various questions regarding topics of opposing views to Christianity, however it doesn't’ seem that the question can be answered quite clear. It is because we as Christians are not experts in opposing views? To add to your discussion, in Langer's video lectures, he discusses the Conversational Model of Integration where we as Christians and non-Christians can discover God’s Word and God’s World together. I believe that those students who feel isolated due to their opposing views or beliefs can begin to see trust being built when we begin to have more of these conversations. I believe this provides an atmosphere where

    Despite finding Harley’s article easier to absorb, I will be providing insight and knowledge of Scannell’s article “Dailiness” as I drew interest into his concepts and ideas behind the notion of temporality of everyday life. After Scannell’s reading, I could see myself reflecting different notions of time and ‘media time’, through his concepts of routinisation and the ‘care structures’ of dailiness I became exposed to the recurring cycle we live in.

    There are many different types of people on the University of Georgia campus, whether they come from the same or different background than I. There are people of different skin color, religion, ethnicity, and many other different backgrounds. Therefore, there are also many different beliefs in faith and values. At an institution of higher learning, such as the University of Georgia, there is respect for and interest in other people’s beliefs. There is never a push to "change" someone. Some students might alter their beliefs and values, but as for myself I will learn of others, but never change.

  • Strawson's Argument Analysis

    862 Words  | 2 Pages

    I agree with Strawson in saying that we are not truly morally responsible for what we do, in a mental respect at least. Though it suffers from many faults, there are also ways to even more clarify his argument, as I will hope to do so in the following. First off, Strawson states that for someone to be truly morally responsible, we have to understand the points that he has given. The first being that we do what we do because of the way we are. These just states that the things we do and decide are based upon how we are in that moment, in mental respects. For example, when it comes to choosing what to eat between options A or B, I will choose option A because of how I am. But if you were to choose, it would be dependent on the way that you are

  • A Well-Constructed Argument Analysis

    541 Words  | 2 Pages

    An explanation is a set of statements constructed to describe a set of facts which clarifies the causes, contexts, and consequences of those facts. This description may establish rules or laws, and may clarify the existing ones in relation to any objects, or phenomena examined. The first piece Bush Remarks Roil Debate over Teaching of Evolution written by Elizabeth Bumiller, is an explanation. Bumiller addresses her points using facts rather than opinions, she also says, “Recalling his days as Texas governor, Mr. Bush said in the interview, according to a transcript, “I felt like both sides ought to be properly taught.”(2), this signifies that this is an explanation and not an argument since he sees both sides instead of choosing one.

  • Carral's Argument Analysis

    Héctor L Carral, a multimedia engineer wrote an article titled Stop Saying Technology is causing Social Isolation for The Huffington Post. The author of the article has a biased option, therefore does not include any research that would refute his argument. Carral states “it’s only obvious to blame them [technology] for some of society’s problems. Carral also states I believe that accusing technology (and, again, especially smartphones) of ruining social interaction and even all kinds of experiences is, to say the least, quite wrong and misguided. There was an obvious division between the commenters who agree with Carral and those who disagree with his argument. The demographics of commentators. From observing the occupations that the commenters listed, it was apparent the people who were against Hector Carral’s article were parents and educators while the people who agreed with his

    On December 2,2015 I went to to the Lynnhaven building to receive some feedback on my agreement paper for English 111. It was a very rainy day after running through the rain when I reached the writing center room. There was a yellow note saying that the writing center was in the student center until December 4,2015. After reading the note I ran back in the rain to my car.It was to cold to walk it was raining. As I approached the student center I was told by a security guard that the tutoring lab was located on the third floor. I had walked up three flights of stairs. When I had finally reached the third floor,I walk into the tutoring lab. There were about eight tables, but only four staff members and one student. Amen had approached me asking what did I need help with today. I replied saying that I would like some feedback on my paper for English. He then pointed to the writing table and said “she can assist you with your paper”.

    What the author says is that a “Christian college is not only the defender of the faith, and to protect students against sin and heresy in other institutions, good education plus biblical studies in a religious environment, is not just designed to prepare ministers for church and is not just simply for the social or extracurricular activities“(Holmes. pg 4, 5), instead of these, Holmes states that a Christian college needs to educate and cultivate an active integration of faith and learning at the same time.

  • Scientific Naturalism Versus Christianity

    1768 Words  | 4 Pages

    Scientific Naturalism and Christianity are possibly the two most contradictory worldviews that are in our culture today. They are also the two most difficult to understand by one another. There is very little about these two worldviews that they have in common. They are a vast amount of ideas and beliefs held by adherents of each that are different. In order for these two worldviews to successfully co-exist in society, it is important to understand, accept, and learn from each one.

  • Science And Religion In Edward O. Wilson's Intelligent Evolution

    1132 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Each subject has a legitimate magisterium, or domain of teaching authority—and these magisteria do not overlap” (19), writes Stephen Jay Gould in Non-Overlapping Magisteria. Accordingly, the efforts to persuade the other side are both futile. Fear aroused from such futility often leads to vigorous resistance to the other. Wilson denounces the “toxic” nature of religion and proposes scientific humanism as “the effective antidote, the light and the way at last placed before us” (556). Wilson sees scientific humanism as “the only worldview” compatible with the real world, and refuses rapprochement, which is “neither possible nor desirable” (556). However, I believe that rapprochement can be achieved when science and religion understand their

  • Racism In Nursing

    632 Words  | 2 Pages

    Scientism is the view that knowledge of reality should only be gained or is best gained through the scientific process or research. This statement though sounds logical; it implies that something cannot be known or believed if it is not scientifically gained knowledge. Scientism is not science; it is a view about knowledge. Scientific statements are facts, but statements of facts cannot explain moral and ethical judgments that evaluate facts claims as being good or bad. It is therefore important to distinguish between scientific claims (90% of Americans think racism is wrong) and values (racism is wrong). Science forms a part of ethical or ought statements but these statements goes beyond what science offers. Not making this distinction leads to the fallacy of obtaining an ought from an is. Relativism is another viewpoint that upholds that there is no concept such as “the ultimate truth” and every belief or knowledge is relative to how it is perceived by an individual or culture. For, example things that Americans value or prioritize like independence or equality might be irrelevant in another culture. The adverse effects of concepts such as scientism and relativism has led to nonscientific claims being trivialized in the healthcare system. However new interest has been generated in spirituality in the healthcare system and Duke University has formed a center in 1998 to promote religion and spirituality in health through research (Grand Canyon University, 2015). This in my opinion is a much needed venture resolve these tensions as the Bible reminds us that in the last days even the elect may be

    ...en word of God that is pulled out of its framework and the scripture that should be construed as it is. By using the text as a book of faith and not the ultimate scientific truth, they establish a line between what faith can tell them and what should be left up to science to examine and discuss. Surely, as of now, there is not a statement from the ELCA church that comes out directly and says that humans are related to monkeys, but nor does disregard or belittle the minds and theories that explain the world in scientific terms. These Lutherans find a way to knit their faith and science together and prove so through their own complete vindication through means of explaining figurative language and issues regarding context with biblical criticism, and introducing humanity to the thought that maybe science and religion can coexist with each other in perfect harmony.

  • Utilitarianism Argument Analysis

    1321 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this paper I will argue that Utilitarianism is a weak argument. According to John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism is defined as the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Happiness is pleasure and absence of pain (Mill, 114). At first glance the Utility perspective seems logical, however it often conflicts with justice and morality. I will begin by presenting the idea that good consequences do not always determine the right thing to do. Then I will provide the counterargument that utilitarians can bite the bullet. Next I will explain that Utilitarianism is too demanding for anyone to live by, and finally provide the counterarguments from the Utilitarianism perspective.
