Carson Wentz is the captain of the 2018 Super Bowl LII champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. He led the Eagles by clinching the NFC East title prior to tearing his ACL at the end of the Eagles conference season. It was only Wentz’s second year in the NFL and he had originally begun his career as a third string quarterback until this season. Wentz had brought the Eagles faith back again after leading the team to multiple victories in the 2017 season. Although Wentz was unable to play for his team in

I chose to read the god delusion by Richard Dawkins for my book review, it has been on my reading list for a while, so now is the perfect opportunity. For each chapter, Dawkins gives different views and arguments on topics like non-religious believers, religion and its relation to historical people, why there is no god, the roots of religion, morals surrounding religion, child indoctrination, and to stray away from religion. I find that the overall thesis of the book is about the non-existence of

also are referred to as advice animals, as many of the early characters were animals like Courage Wolf or Socially Awkward Penguin. The genre then expanded to include humans with the development of memes like Overly Attached Girlfriend and Bad Luck Brian. Whether human or non-human animal, each of these images is its own meme, with its own affective dimensions and implied narrative. Imposed over this picture are two lines of text in the impact font.

human beings cooperate for a reason because cooperation has many benefits; it aids survival. Cooperation evolved as a result of the benefits attached to it, this could be motivated entirely by the self-interest of the individual.

assurance that each person in this room memes. That’s right, every one of you. Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins defines memes in his 1976 novel, The Selfish Gene, as nothing more than “an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.” By that definition, dabbing and bottle flipping are as much of a meme as All Star by Smash Mouth and Bad Luck Brian . Yet, as memes have developed throughout recent history, they have shifted from harmless cat photos to a monstrous

of possibility and impossibility, not greater of lessor probability” (Hahn 18). Where does one draw a line between an event with all odds against it and an event that is impossible? This is the problem of Dawkins according to Hahn and Wiker. “So, once we strip away the rhetoric, all that Dawkins can really be saying is something like his: Until very recently in human history – up to the mid-19th century, i.e., the time before Darwin (B.D.) – any reasonable would have concluded that there exists a

The zoologist Matt Ridley explores the question of why human beings are so cooperative, even though we are built of "selfish genes" in his book: The Origins of Virtue. The book lines up a large selection of examples of cooperation, utilizing different scientific approaches such as economy, sociology, evolutionary biology, anthropology (Rinaldo, 1997). It argues that in some human relationships natural selection promotes virtue and trust, but at the same time humans are egoistic and motivated by self-interest

Personal Self-Assessment My theological commitments have been refined as a result of this course in many areas. Through reading The Basic by Alister E. McGrath, participating in the forum posts, and taking quizzes, allows me to learned about different theological terms, concepts, and many famous theologians. My knowledge on what I’ve learned from my reading was challenged by the Engaging-a-Text assignments, located at the end of each chapter. It required me to explain theological terms, concepts
