I selected ‘Nature of God’ from World View Chart as it is the key factor of religion. Here the word ‘nature’ means the perception of God in different religions, not the relation between God and his devotees or how God is espoused to act or behave in relation to humans as per different religions.

Analysis of Philosophy and Falsification by Antony Flew

Antony Flew starts our three-path examination on the ramifications that adulteration has on religious philosophy by demonstrating that any philosophical explanation that is postured must remained up to the same test as any declaration: There must fundamentally be a relating nullification of that affirmation. Most philosophical explanations may not compare with a nullification; that is to say that there is no conceded case in which the announcement could not hold genuine. In denying that there could be an announcement that could nullify any philosophical articulation (i.e. "God made the world"; "God has an arrangement for us"), our announcement, essentially, kicks the ...

Whether or not a film remains as true to the novel as possible or far it deviates from the original has been argued by critics and audiences for a century now. There are many major differences between Jane Austen’s book Pride and Prejudice and the 2005 film adaptation that starred Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet. The book, published in 1813, was intended as a satire and a comedy of manners. The film released in 2005 was a full-blown romance. The time period is different. Much of the dialog is different.
