The And Nature Of The Ancients And The Stars

Mankind was created to inhabit the earth (Genesis 1:26:28) God created mankind with an intentional purpose, to be dominant over all other creatures of the planet. We as humans live in the relevance of God and his word; although not executed with perfection. The main purpose for our lives is to serve and glorify God (Corinthians 10:31) It is in human nature to sin; however, forgivingness’ is given to those whom ask and regret sinful decisions and attempt to right their wrongs. Mankind was created in the image of God. We were created to serve and obey God, and to live by faith and obedient to God. (Genesis 2:15-17)

Since the dawn of humanity, human beings have been contemplating the meaning of life, searching for answers to make sense of their existence. Even ancient people tried to answer the same taunting questions about their purpose on earth and the questions about the world, which people nowadays search for. Thus, in seeking the answers, ancient people created religions, usually based on their understanding of cosmology. Cosmology is a general understanding of the nature of the universe and it usually served as a base to every ancient religion. Primal people lived and depended on nature and its gifts, thus their cosmology revolved around the harmony with nature. They tried to conserve the

This document explores the meaning of human life, its purpose, what it serves for and also

How do we find the meaning of life? This “big question” has produced many different answers from even the most intelligent philosophers and scientists. One of the arguably wisest scientist to have ever lived, Albert Einstein, believed that life goes without any meaning if not believing in something larger than oneself. While in comparison, one of the earliest, most influential philosophers and son of Socrates, Plato, believed that happiness is the only way one can truly live life. These two profound individuals are just examples of the millions of people who have come across this question and are either baffled by it or inspired.

“…the meaning of human life was therefore perfectly clear. The stretch on earth is only a short interlude, a temporary incarceration of the soul in the prison of the body, a brief trail and test, fated to end in death, the release from pain and suffering. What really matters is the life after the death of the body. One’s existence acquires meaning not by gaining what this life can offer but by saving one’s immortal soul from death and eternal torture, by gaining eternal life and

Throughout history people wonder about the meaning of life. Religion has been created and intertwined with culture to all areas of the world. How to determined what should we do and what happens after we die? Without religion, we cannot answer to these confusing questions. Most of the religions starting point is good, both Harriet Jacobs and William Black are given an idea of obedient to god and doing good thing will have good return in the future. Unfortunately, religion become a weapon for some people to oppressed the others. We realized religion have positive aspects, negative aspects and still play very important role in the today’s

Humankind was said to originate in several different ways. The two that the text focuses on, deal with the controversial topic of science and faith. The evolution theory is that of a good one and basically shows us about the "Survival of the fittest". Science is based on a series of proven theories and facts. However, religion and its beliefs are based on the biblical interpretations and the spread of stories through its word. The long-standing issue is that between religion and science has molded the concept of "Church and State". The relevance of the concepts stated before to include, natural selection, intelligent design, scientific creationism all play a major role in today 's humanity, social life and the way humans think. The goal of this paper is to not only inform but to open your views on the origin of humanity.

Finally, modern culture has adopted the heliocentric system whereas ancient culture had a geocentric system. The geocentric model of Plato could not explicate the retrograde motion of the planets. In the second century AD, Ptolemy proposed his refined geocentric model. A planet rotates in a diminutive circle, known as an epicycle, and the center of the epicycle rotates along a more astronomically immense circle around the Earth in the Ptolemaic macrocosm. The centers of the epicycles of Mercury and Venus must lie on the line joining the Earth and the Sun. Stars are fine-tuned on an outermost sphere. This model can predict the positions of the planets within a few degrees from their true positions. This was generally accepted and the Ptolemaic

From is very early with rudimentary tools such as plumb, planks holes, the astronomers of ancient Egypt used to sit on the roof of temples and shrines to observe the sky. When observing the night sky, the astronomers themselves for an hour, write the position of stars on a sheet of paper with a grid. The sky is divided into 45 constellations and people have known about the planets like Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Mercury. Egyptian conception of the universe associated with polytheism. The center of the world is god Geb, god symbolizing the Earth, the sister, and wife of Geb - sky god Nut is. Nut born Ra - the sun god Ra and the stars also born Thoth - the moon god. On astronomical instruments, the Egyptians invented the renovation Khue (a

The only thing that was originally destined to a human is his pursuit of happiness; the most fundamental needs and interests of the people ultimately boil down to achieve bliss. But even if this fundamental nature of human can be distinguished from available human

Throughout human existence, people have often contemplated about the meaning of life. Why do we exist? What purpose do we serve as human beings? Who created us? Is there a mission that humans are supposed to complete while alive? Richard Taylor sought out to answer these questions through his paper The Meaning of Life. He particularly uses the myth on Sisyphus and his life throughout the paper to help prove his point.

Through out history, as man progressed from a primitive animal to a "human being" capable of thought and reason, mankind has had to throw questions about the meaning of our own existence to ourselves. Out of those trail of thoughts appeared religion, art, and philosophy, the fundamental process of questioning about existence. Who we are, how we came to be, where we are going, what the most ideal state is....... All these questions had to be asked and if not given a definite answer, then at least given some idea as to how to begin to search for, as humans probed deeper and deeper into the riddle that we were all born into.

Moving on to the 'Ancients," it is clear to the Ancient Egyptians that how you lived your life here on earth affected your afterlife as depicted in the weighing of a person 's heart against the feather of Maat. (3.a) Since we are talking about the Ancient Egyptians, without them documenting their achievements, I wonder how far behind as a so-called evolved species we would be presently? The origins of many building blocks of modern society can be traced back to Ancient Egypt, from our calendar to medicine. (4.a; b) Another great civilization that has contributed enormous knowledge to modern civilization, the Ancient Greeks have some interesting views that can be enlightening for this topic. In a

Hope for life beyond death, however fantastical the idea, will continue intriguing generation after generation. But the question remains. What happens to humans after death? What happens in that place where no one has returned from? Should people be preparing themselves for survival in that place? And if so, how? Ancient Egyptian civilizations tried to answer these questions and, in their attempt, they produced extensive manuscripts that ensure the continuation of life and suggest the specific methods that guarantee comfort in the afterlife. Overcoming the perils and obstacles found on the journey of the dead, however, was not a matter to be taken carelessly. The deceased had to stand in front of forty-two divine judges and successfully pass their tests (Faulkner 34). Some historians believe this is when a step change in morals occurred. Although instructions for the afterlife from Egyptian civilizations hint towards a concern on moral behaviors, they provide no evidence of their advanced ethical standards (Robinson 632). The driving force for the precautions taken after death is the fear of lacking the skills necessary to survive in the netherworld and to overcome the judgments of the gods.

It can be argued that god did create humanity for a purpose, as why would he endow us with sense, reason and intellect if he intended us to forgo their use? It therefore logically follows that we must have some purpose, hidden or not that we are expected to fulfil, also why would the bible detail the creation of humans in such detail as is demonstrated in genesis 2, why would god, in this story, prioritise mankind over all others when the purpose if said entities is made apparent as animals are made to feed man, so if god endeavoured to assign a purpose to those supposedly subservient to mankind, why would he not give a purpose for mankind to fulfil, why also, according to the
