In my view, God actually exists. I concur with the cosmological argument. The universe must be contingent. Human being has been so much curious to understand his existence and that of the world in general. The fact is that the world came into existence, it is contingent, and certain events and beings are casually contingent. The undoubted cause of these facts is the unmoved mover. There must have been a force behind all these, and this force is none other than the creator. In this discussion, my guiding factor is the existence of a contingent being, with an explanation for his ...

Discarding Explanations that are Intuitively Appealing

Intuitively appealing explanations are those explanations that are reasoned out using one’s instincts instead of using conscious logic. Human beings are usually confused by intuition because it may act against them or in their favor. In most cases, intuition tends to be correct, but total reliance in intuition should be avoided or made minimal. This means that intuitively appealing explanations should be discarded if they cause confusion in humans. Additionally, in order to discard these explanations, once should put into consideration the feelings, logic, rationale, insight, and methods of acquiring knowledge. For instance, a person will use the mineral ...

In this paper I summarize, analyze, and critique "Can science prove that God does not exist.", by Theodore Schick Jr, on pages 484 to 487, a contemporary issue in Chapter 5 of the textbook. I discuss it with references to the chapter in MLA format. A short summary of the argument is provided, and then analysis is conducted on two underlying assumptions. Analysis of the assumptions is the type of analysis that is necessary to understand philosophy in these different contemporary issues. Often the actual logic used is sound; however, the underlying assumptions for the logic are typically not supportable. ...

The article by Heyes (2012) makes significant discoveries on the cognitive abilities of humans as well as those of animals. In addition, the article provides an explanation of the similarities between the cognitive abilities of the animal as well as those of human beings. As a result, the article provides an explanation that assist understanding the minds of animals and their relation to that of human beings. Heyes uses a case study of the chimpanzees where she tries to explain the relationship between complex behavior and simple mindedness in the perspectives of associative blindness. The article provides an associative explanation, which ...

Introduction

Over the years, there were two main contending theories in the United States concerning the emergence of life: evolution and creationism. Evolution characterized science’s view of how creation began, and creationism presented the religious elucidations. Later, came the intelligent design theory, also referred to as the design theory. This is the opinion that nature displays concrete signs of having been devised by a preexisting intelligence. The intelligent design concept purports that an unsystematic natural process could have developed life by no chance. Rather, only the direction of an intelligent power can explicate the intricacy and diversity evidenced today. Since ...

For a long time, myths have been used by various communities in various circumstances to address different issues. An example of the functions of myths is giving explanations to a certain phenomenon. A “myth” can be described as a traditional, characteristically primordial tales that deal with ancestors, supernatural beings, or heroes that serves as an explanation of a certain feature of the natural world, or defining the customs, psychology or ideals of a society. To be more precise, it is a traditional sanctified story, which resolves around the gods’ activities as well as heroes, which aim at explaining a natural phenomenon. Among the most common myths ...

The first principle is ruling out rival hypotheses. This principle means that only one explanation would be relevant in explaining a given claim. A situation may be defined by different arguments or explanation, which may be seen as relevant to a given a situation. However, most of them may not be relevant in making excellent conclusion over a given matter. At a pool of explanations, the most outstanding explanation matters most. Although, it is a bit hard to differentiate, or identify the most outstanding explanation individuals ...

Introduction

The phenomenon of alien abduction has insisted on the emergence of research procedures that would define the concept by which these assumptions could be proven wrong or not. Relatively, it could be realized that in the field of psychology, unlike in the field of mystified science, alien abduction is seen to have been rooted on the distinct course by which experts intend to see why the sensation happens, and why the assumption itself is developed. The exploration of the issue on alien abduction is completely identified with what is assumed as a consistent experience that a person needs to contend with ...

Is Evolution True?

Is Evolution True? Development can be defined as the fundamental process whereby species that are new develop from earlier species through accumulated changes. Sometimes an evolution is described as "descent with modification". As this process of speciation continues to take place, many species start to appear thus becoming increasingly different, and this continues over time and becomes a pattern. Through many observations of the changes in life forms over time, these models have been developed. Charles Darwin explains that the mechanism on hoe evolution occurs is by natural selection. Having constantly been observed, natural selection role in being the ...

It is a common norm for scientists to use “proofs” to describe the reasoning for various things. Scientists make use of these proofs to explain why something happens. For instance, geologists believe that the earth possesses an electromagnetic field that acts as a protector against destructive solar winds. These geologists have never really witnessed or seen this field, yet they strongly believe it to be the most plausible explanation of why the earth is protected from destructive solar winds. This analogy is comparable to the use of ‘proofs” by Christians to make strong arguments about God’s existence. When the proofs are ...

Meaning of Theory from Different Theorists: A Comparison

The diversity of perspectives is always manifested through the numerous hypotheses that mature into theories. The understanding or explanation as to why an event is experienced varies from one person to another. This can be shown through the numerous correlated theories used to explain common or different situations. A theorist develops his/her argument with respect to the situation in question and establishes principles that objectify the main idea in theory. They frame their findings in a manner that it can be used to explain different phenomena in the same dome of argument. A comparative analysis of the same theory can ...

Alexis de Tocqueville is regarded amongst the first thinkers of the 19th century that challenged the existing historical account about the founding of America. The prevailing account claimed that Americans’ regime and politics were, as a result of a revolutionary war but ended with the ratification of the Constitution. During that account, Tocqueville had paid a visit to the United States in 1831. At the same time, the citizens celebrated the” founding fathers” since they believed they contributed towards the development of the Americans’ culture and way of life. To illustrate this point, Timothy Pitkin said, “a more intimate knowledge and recollection of ...

Bible Interpretation Using Various Types of Critical Disciplines

Introducing the old Testament The Bible can be interpreted using various types of critical disciplines. This is done through interpretation and explanation that is critical of text especially texts of religion. In ancient times the term exegesis, which is the critical expansion and understanding of the religious text, was the primary interpretation of the Bible. Therefore, “Biblical exegesis” is applied in a wider context in the religious text. Exegesis is a combination of a broader perspectives that are critical and disciplines. When we focus on biblical textual criticism, the inquiry of the history and originality of the text, sometimes exegesis it ...

Abstract

The paper discusses infantile amnesia – the phenomenon of the inability of adults to recollect any memory before the rough age of three years. The science behind the phenomenon is brain development. However brain development theory is being questioned today for its inability to explain a few aspects of childhood memory. Sigmund Freud’s explanation is his theory of repression of traumatic sexual experiences. Other psychologists meanwhile believe that language development holds the key to the explanation behind infantile amnesia. The paper also discusses the concept of identity and focuses on some empirical results that have been developed to prove the ...

Does the concept of invisible hand play an important role in science?

Science is an explanation of human life by giving evidence of natural phenomena, and human causes in the earth we live in. Sciences are of two types, there are the human sciences and the natural sciences. Human or social sciences focus mainly on human behavior, how they react in different situations and their general lifestyles examples of this include sociology, psychology and law. Natural sciences deals with explaining the existence of nature that is beyond human creation, for example physics, and chemistry. Science is based on explaining the universe by use of testable explanations and predictions (Feyerabend, Paul ( ...

First, in order to have clear understanding of what is going to be discussed, the basic explanation of physiological psychology should be given. Certainly, it is a subdivision of biological psychology or the so-called “behavioral neuroscience”, which studies and researches various neural mechanisms of behavior and perception with the help of various controlled experiments, which include brain studies and manipulations (Pinel, ...

When reflecting on the main distinction between arguments and explanations, one cannot but notice the thin line that occasionally stands between them. In the majority of cases, it is easy to differentiate explanation from argument, but in some other cases a person may be lead into false identification. This is why it is important for the process of critical thinking to establish the difference between argument and explanation. Even thought there are more than one types of explanations, they all refer to the understanding of the world that surrounds us and some things that are the same for anyone. On ...

Introduction

Classical realism and neo-realism represents the evolution and proliferation of international politics. Even in contemporary times, the political leaders staunchly represent these theories in their practical application of political ideals. This paper is an extensive study of these two forms of realism. It begins by defining realism; then identifies the major differences among these concepts and exemplifies its significance across the world. Finally, a conclusion is drawn by elaborating on contemporary politics and its use/rebuttal of these concepts.

According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (2013), realism has its foundation in theories proposed by Thucydides, Machiavelli and Hobbes. It is ...

Abstract

The essay discusses short-term memory (STM) and other aspects that are related to it. There has been considerable research done on STM, however, a lot more needs to be done in certain areas. The short-term memories carry a different process related to long-term memories. Short-term memory is often used in place of working memory, but the two are different. Short-term memory refers to only the temporary loading of information while working memory refers to not only temporary storage, but also manipulating information. The paper looks at different experiments related to STM, the impact of word-length effect and the distinctions between STS ...

The scientific method involves making an observation, making an explanation of the observation, testing the explanation in order to see whether it is valid and either accepting or rejecting the explanation. Once an explanation is rejected, a better explanation is developed and then tested. The exact steps that are followed in a scientific method depend on the number of times the method is broken down. However, there are five major steps that are followed in a scientific method. These steps are making observations, proposing a hypothesis, designing an experiment and performing it to test the hypothesis, analyzing the data in order to determine ...

Perception can be defined as the process by which interpretation and recognition are affected by the object to the subject. In this paper, I will be analyzing the comparative strengths and weaknesses of the causal and disjuctivism theories. Perceptual experiences are divided into three categories: hallucination, illusion, and veridical perception. The various philosophical theories of perception can be assessed using various principles. The three important principles include the representational principle, the phenomenal principle and the common factor principle. The common factor principle states that there is a commonality of underlying mental state amongst hallucination, illusions and veridical perceptions. The phenomenal ...

One of the main problems of classical mechanics is that of turbulent fluid flow. The reason for this is that there is the presence of thin no-slip boundary which requires a lot of meshpoints in order for the solution to be arrived. There is a research which has been arrived and researched upon which shows that with the use of slip boundary condition to be the model for friction to be achieved for the small skin, there is the possibility for predictive simulation for mean quantities. An example of such mean quantities is the drag and lift turbulent flow with millions ...

Nietzsche’s genealogy of morality and Freud’s concept of unconsciousness offer distinct explanations for the forces that affect behavior. The relationship in their explanations perhaps lies in the fact that both of them attribute the behavioral factors in human beings to influences. However, the point of departure between the two begins with the nuanced association of the causes of the behavioral influences. While Nietzsche would have us believe that behavioral influences are a factor of social constructs of what is bad and evil, Freud on the other hand, would have us believe that behavior are a factor of internal influences ...

Introduction

For a long period, Christians and atheists continue to maintain conflicting perceptive about the existence of God. Consequently, this issue triggers unending debates. The argument about the existence of God does not simply entail sensory proof. This is because universal perception is a determinant of what will be accepted as proof in the first place. In order to be certain in either side of argument, there is need for evidence. Theorists provide conflicting perspectives in support of atheism and existence of God. Christians derive their source of proof from biblical writings. However, these sources receive disqualification from atheists as mere theoretical ...

With so much slender, grace and beauty, magnificence, and effortlessness starts the Genesis explanation of Creation. However, an examination of Genesis chapter 1 is not really as easy and direct as an interpretation that would seem to be quite comfortable. Modern recognizing of biblical cosmogony (meaning understanding of how it started) in Genesis 1can be viewed by a group of experts as being extremely complicated, divided among the literal and the non-literal.

Causal Design

The research on offenders and empathy will employ the research design of causal design. This is because the research is an explanatory research with a focus on the why question. For instance, it is quite often to link lack of empathy with crime or in that case with offenders. Thus, say to examine the trends of crimes in relation to empathy among the offenders as well among the non-offenders. It is then quite usual to develop an explanation why crime rate increase among inhuman or empathy-less individuals, why crime is less among empathetic individuals. Additionally, why are some crimes more ...

Many people do not have a clear understanding as to what amodal perception is. For the purposes of this paper, the definition assumed for this term is found in the encyclo.co.uk (2012), which defines it as the phrase or term used to refer to describe the perception of an object in its totality only when a portion of it is visible. This is where the confusion comes I n since when people try to look at the unseen portion, they tend to define it in many different ways.

Describe the major purpose of theory in the sciences and practice disciplines

In the simplest terms, a theory can be defined as an explanation of something. Therefore, a theory can be said to explain why and how a particular function occurs in the way that it does. Therefore, a theory can be defined as an organized body of concepts and principles that are intended to explain a particular phenomenon. The process of systematically organizing and formulating the specific ideas and procedures to find the meaning of a particular phenomenon is known as theorizing. There are also assumptions that should be made while proposing the theories. While the explanation of various phenomena in the sciences and the practice ...

Question One

A theory is a logical explanation to the existence of a given phenomenon or situation. It acts as a basic principle that to explain why something is in existence or is happening. For any explanation to be approved as a theory there has to be evidence and a level of truth to support a theory. Theories act as the basic explanation towards getting deeper knowledge as to why certain scenarios are in existence. In many cases for any explanation to be termed as a theory, it must have some truth. One of the most notable theories is the evolution theory. Charles Darwin developed the Darwin’s ...
