questions the context of world history as well as the complexity of human history and the societies with which they live. In Christian’s article he argues that looking at world history in its global context, rather than one specific moment in history, is the way it is intended to be interpreted and allows historians to recognize reoccurring patterns and themes. World history is meant to be an unbiased account of only one specific species, humans (Christian 2003, 437-438). Historians often struggle with this
The teleological, or design argument for the existence of God is based on the notion of telos, the end for which something has a certain structure. It is an a posteriori argument, meaning that its premise stems from things we know based upon our experiences in and of this world. Simply put, the teleological argument states that since the universe and everything in it shows consistency, order, and unity, there must be a designer. Where we see things obviously intended for a specific purpose, we
order to explain the existence and mysteries of the universe and the human beings. And big history is also an origin story, attempting to examine the history of the Universe from the Big Bang, explain the present and predict the future of the universe as well as the human beings. One of the most important theme found in the Big history is the idea of increasing complexity and the term of “Goldilocks conditions”, Christian suggests that the universe creates complexity when these conditions require a
Your brain is the command center to your existential being. Seriously sensitive, and very important. Functioning as to coordinating sensation, intellectual thought, and nervous activity. It is one of the most complex and fascinating structures in this entire universe. It determines everything about you. The slightest mishap can have a dramatic effect on your body and mind. Depending on the situation it can change the little perfect angel you know and love into a merciless, raging, psychopath. To
evidence against human evolution as well. Many say that there is no way that the universe could have just created itself. They believe that the universe could not form from nothing. Since for something to form from something else, there must be something that created that first object. Dr. John Lennox, Professor in Mathematics at Oxford University, says that if X creates Y, something else must have created X in order for X to create Y. He also states that if you assume that the universe exists since
The Brain .What weighs about three pounds but has more parts than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy? What fills the space occupied by only three pints of milk yet includes components that, laid end to end, would stretch several hundred thousand miles? What looks like an oversized walnut made of soft, grayish-pink cheese but contains the equivalent of 100 trillion tiny calculators? What, according to James Watson, co-discoverer of the helical structure of DNA, is "the most complex thing
However the results and the efficiency of treatment are almost bleak. In brain sciences the problems which we start with before hundred years are almost as such and with psychiatry it becomes more compounded. We are not yet able to control the psychiatric problems even with 21st century advances in the medical science. From time to time the scientists use multiple approaches in understanding the puzzles in relation to the brain and its functions. Though we make a small progress towards understanding
The brain is the most astounding and most important organ that controls all the parts of the body, it interprets data from the universe and embodies the feeling of the mind. Intelligence, creativity, emotional behavior, and memory or rememberance are a small part of the different things controlled by the brain. Conserved inside the skull, the brain is filled with the following such as cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. Each of these have a complex objective. The brainstem is used as a message
presentation, I learned about The Quest for Consciousness. This is most interesting to me because, our conscious state as human beings is what sets us apart from others. We know that we are here on Earth, that we are human, and that there are things outside of this Earth much larger and different than we have imagined. The study of consciousness brings an interesting twist into the relationship between science and religion. Humans standalone from all other creatures because we are conscious, this
it has! That was the very cause itself which is why this world has witnessed some of the greatest philosophers like Aristotle, Plato and Socrates etc. along with the school of thought. The ability to think and reason is one of the greatest ability humans have, it is what
