The thing about fate, Magnus: even if we can’t change the big picture, our choices can alter the details. That’s how we rebel against destiny, how we make our mark.”(pg.132) This makes Loki sound like he really is trying to delay Ragnarok, and give the gods a better fighting

be wrong altogether. If science could be wrong, we should doubt it. Since there is a doubt for science, we should reject science altogether as a source of knowledge.

The premises of Descartes’ argument are valid points because of the use of skepticism. By questioning complex objects (such as science and math), which

In paragraph nine, he states, “How do I know that he did not bring it about that there be no Earth at all, no heavens, no extended thing, no figure, no size, no place, and yet all these things should seem to me to exist precisely as they appear to do now.” His point is that this omnipotent evil deceiver could create in our minds an understanding of mathematics and logic that is at odds with reality

Descartes pursuits the idea that God cannot be a deceiver; but if God gives us senses, doesn’t this contradict, and ultimately falsify Descartes argument as a whole? Descartes must defend this argument into order stand by his meditations. Furthermore, Descartes spends the first meditation rendering the senses as useless since they
