Essays on Genesis

The term worldview involves the all-round comprehension of the world from a certain point of view. In turn, Christian worldview appears to be the all-round comprehension of the world from the Christian point of view. Our worldview represents the big image, the harmony comprising all worldly notions and concepts. Worldview is a means of understanding the reality. Moreover, it serves as the basis for daily decisions, and therefore appears to be of great importance. In this way, a worldview is a philosophical system that aims at explaining the interconnection and interplay of the facts permeating the surrounding world. As ...

The term ‘worldview’ simply refers to an individual’s perception of the world around him, which is often based on the existing knowledge that he has accumulated over the years. As observed by scholars, people do not possess a ‘tabula rasa’ or blank mind when it comes to the natural world around them since they have their own opinion and values as shaped by their “socio-cultural environment or from previous educational experiences”.

The question of origin – (How did life begin? How did mankind come into existence?)

According to the Christian beliefs, all life forms, including mankind, were created by God. This belief is clearly articulated in the story of creation in ...

Introduction

The world never saw a rainbow until long after most of the Gods on Olympus and the heroes of the land were tales told by grandmothers to the eager faces of their grandbabies looking through sparkling eyes looking at the old but still beautiful face of Chloe. Her strong but soft voice filled the quiet room aglow with the golden and orange light from the warm crackling fire at the hearth in the main room of the small but clean and welcoming house on the hill along the cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea. Chloe loved telling these old tales ...

Locke wrote his concepts of the self in a response to Descartes and used similar terminology and addressed many of the same issues. Although there are several disagreements in their work, both can be considered analogous in many ways. One distinct difference between the authorships, is the motivation of Locke in penning An Essay concerning Human Understanding. Both a direct motivation, and the ironically innate thesis of Locke’s work on identity, was to make an argument about the idea of moral culpability. The Renaissance was dwindling and a new era of thinkers in Europe were emerging, and with ...

Crude oil is obtained from layers of sedimentary rock that are formed by materials which are eroded and carried away from the land surface by flowing water bodies. The water flows and drains into oceans, depositing sedimentary rocks in the ocean beds. Pools of crude oil, are present underground, trapped between layers of sedimentary rocks. Crude oil and natural gas are organic hydrocarbons. Petroleum in particular, is a complex mix of organic compound and contains traces of porphyrin. The structure of porphyrin is similar to that of chlorophyll and hemoglobin of plant and animal origin respectively. While natural porphyrin ...

1) Brief Summary The passage talks of the world’s beginning. It brings into light the creation of the earth, the heavens and all that is in it. God is the author of it all, and he creates everything through word of mouth. The man is an addition to the Lord’s creation and comes second after God when it comes to authority. God names the man Adam and gives him the authority over everything. Despite all the freedom he has, God notices that Adam is sad, and he puts him into a deep sleep. While sleeping, God takes ...

Religion is one of the most important facets of the human experience. Throughout the world, considering different areas of space and moments of time, different cultures have worshiped deities in one form or another. This usually includes the active adoration of these gods, for which a certain locational frame is typically rendered especially suitable. Thomas A. Tweed, in his essay “Space” seeks to examine the nature and characteristics of religious space. In it, he proposes that these spaces are a dialectical construction between the pious and the physical location. In order to define space, he uses five different characteristics: ...

Introduction

Authority is a crucial theme in the Christian faith as it plays an indispensable part to its authentic transmission. It determines the credibility of the teacher as well as the validity and acceptability of the teachings. In systematic theology, authority distinguishes between the sound Christian theology and the dangerous heretical ones. In the life of the Church, it is authority that provides stability of community life, confidence in the authenticity of the teachings received, and the confidence of the strength of the Christian witness to those who still do not believe. In fact, doubt in authority can bring an ...

The city of Jerusalem’s history traces back to 5,000 years back, which its relevant across the religions; Christianity, Judaism and Muslim. For the Christians, Jerusalem is where death and resurrection of Jesus took place, for the Jews it symbolizes the temple whereas the Muslims is a symbol, for the Prophet’s journey to heaven. Evidently, Jerusalem serves as a holy symbol to almost three quarter of the world today (Masumder & Sanjoy 386). For Christians, apart from the significance of Jesus’s death and resurrection, there are more meanings and symbols to Jerusalem. Therefore, this paper will seek ...

Theology fills most of the humanities and stays as applicable as always since five centuries ago. Its devotion assists guarantee to a solid journey through a vital and extraordinary field of study. The fact that theology is the study of God, His words holds an authority and does make sense to Christianity. The doctrine in Christian theology is the biblical inspiration with all the concerns of the Bible’s divine origin; where in different groups have different ...

Ewert (1989), argues that, within their thoughts, the morality and justness of an economic structure are significant than its efficiency (p. 103). This appears to be logical, considering how inefficient and bloated the national budget, the economy, as well as the stock market are in the current era. The stock market currently is indicating a high record, on the contrary the economy continues with a turndown trend. The stock market, in addition, is extremely connected to the world market, making it inefficient and more precarious.

Ewert (1989) is to the opinion that market ought not to be judged via moral ...

Two pivotal approaches to cognitive development that challenged Piaget’s widely-known theory are Vygotsky’s sociocultural approach and the information-processing perspective. In spite of the distinction between psychogenesis and epistemogenesis, Lev Vygotsky’s and Jean Piaget’s views manage to complete each other and reach a similar conclusion—knowledge is formed within a certain social context and has a specific material (Tryphon, 1996).

Piaget proposes that, during the development of human thinking, we go through stable, predictably structured sequences of stages. The consistency and stability of these stages are undoubtedly questioned by today’s standards in psychological research (Baron 1995). For ...

What is a worldview?

The term worldview refers to an intellectual interpretation of reality, the world or universe. Evidently, has a view, and though it has greatly been shaped by the thoughts of others, each has a unique perspective.

The Question of Origin

The Question of Origin asks, “How did life start?” and “how did mankind come to existence?” The bible tells that God (Genesis 1:1) created everything that exists in the universe. The verse explains that God created the heaven and earth. The bible also tells us that God created humans on the sixth day (Genesis 2:7). The book of Genesis narrates the story of creation.

The Question of Identity

What are the Dimensions of Religion? Why are the Dimensions of Religion helpful in studying religion?

Religion is a thorough perspective that records for these inquiries of human presence and considers having confidence in something past the "common".

It was stated in Ninian Smart's Seven Dimensions of Religion (10–21):

1. Experiential/Emotional. There are sure encounters that appear to offer ascent to religion: experiencing common or heavenly drives that create a feeling of dread or wonder, contemplating one passing, having an "extraordinary" vision, feeling united with all of reality, or encountering extremely solid feelings. 2. Social/Institutional. Individuals who have these encounters search out others with comparative encounters and structure bunches for backing. 3. Account/Mythic. In the gathering, individuals pass on their involvement in stories. ...

TV advertisements are the parts of programming which are usually skipped over. Personally, when I see them is usually when I turn the volume down and interest myself with something else until my desired programming return? So watching four hours of television with the intention of noticing the ads was informative, and it said a lot both about advertising companies, the corporations that they work with and the society that they are marketing to. There is such a vast variety of TV commercials that it is difficult to make overarching conclusions about them. But as a person watches and notices, certain patterns ...

Section A - Asking the Right Questions (1 Thessalonians 5)

In Thessalonian, five verse eight, the bible talks of wearing the breastplate of faith and love and a helmet of the hope for salvation. It is telling as to be prepared like a soldier. A soldier in battle is always armed and ready for the enemy to attack, he does not lay his weapons aside. As Christians, we should also be ready for the coming of the Lord, for like a thief or an enemy. He may come at any time. The bible says we should fast and pray and be like the five wise girls so that when the bridegroom cometh ...

The Solar System is located at the spiral arms of our Galaxy is called the Milky Way. It is basically made of the galactic dick, globular clusters and the halo. Scattered below and above the disk are the globular clusters. They are randomly scattered and they orbit in elliptical orbits. They have little or no gas in them and contain older stars than in the disk. The halo is the dim region that surrounds the whole galaxy. Now, the location of the Solar System is in the galactic disk’s spiral arm. There are six spiral arms arising from ...

1. What are the “stages of social development” that Finkelstein and Silberman suggest are necessary for the Pentateuch to have been written.

Archeologists contend that the bible is such a complex book that it could not have been written during the primitive times described in Genesis and other early stories. As a consequence, bible scholars are questioning the authenticity of Biblical stories in terms of where and when the stories were written. It is plausible that the Bible as we know it is the literary product of scribes and other writers of a period in history when it was possible to document historical accounts of the patriarchs.

Finkelstein and Silberman argue that much of the archeological evidence available from biblical excavations reveal artifacts that ...

Genesis - Schultz’s leadership model

Great leaders usually have certain characteristics that make them special. For any organization to be successful, then they should have great leaders with special characteristics. This research will evaluate the leadership of Howard Schultz whom I believe is a leader who possesses the characteristics of a good leader.

According to leadership theories, a good leader takes care of the other employees’ needs. They should help the other employees to work through activities such as delegation (Michael, 1). In addition, the leaders should allow employees to give their ideas that can assist the organization. Howard Schultz reports that good leadership involves observation of ...

I started off my research by doing a random search on the internet because I wanted to have a wide view and research on the topic. But it was not at all easy because I did not have a direct lead to the subject because I had to go through books, journals and blogs in order to decipher what was directly related to my subject. This kind of research narrative is open ended and would be better if it was narrowed down to a specific topic or entry.

Abstract and Introduction

Ethics is one of the oldest fields of studies. Its roots can be traced back to as early as the time of the ancient western civilizations. In this study, we try to answer several questions about the correlation and importance of the genesis of knowledge (about ethical theories and thoughts, in the western civilization) and of history, in the present day study of ethical thoughts and theories. The author of this paper has developed the notion that ethics (and morality for that matter) is a continuously evolving field of study, and is therefore a product of evolution; and this is what ...

It’s a vast argument between Egyptologists and other writers, whether Bible is an ancient scripture inspired by Egyptian Mythology. There are so many sources available to show us the resemblance between Genesis 1 and Ancient Egyptian creation myths, especially the process of the creation of world. As it is said in Genesis; God created the world in six days and kept the seventh day for rest. In the same way in Egyptian myth, God had created the world in six days and rested for the seventh day. The order, in which the creations had been made, too has a remarkable ...

King clearly prefers the Aboriginal history of creation. It is not merely because she relishes the presentation of these stories in contrast to the Western version of Adam and Eve’s fall from grace. In her mind, once dissected, these stories illustrate the vast gulf between the Western concepts of sovereignty and individual rights and the Aboriginal notions of these very same ideas. King feels the very fabric of and the parables espoused in these stories illustrate how the Western ideal of is of a much stronger, centralized body of governance where people are punished accordingly if they do not ...

Since the earliest times, man pondered about existence, where he came from and the purpose of life. Before science came to be, humans looked towards God and the sacred books to find the answers to the greatest questions. The most ancient of these books are the Bible, Torah and Quran. In the Book of Genesis in the Bible we learn that God created the world in six days, and on the seventh he rested. Genesis also says that every living thing was created by God. For a long time science and theology were seen as rivals, however there were several ...

The dictionary is a very useful book in any area of study; it provides the definition needed by students or any person who has an interest in any field of study. It provides the right reference now only to words but also some issues that need clarification. There are very few bible dictionaries; however, most of them are not detailed and just give a highlight and simple definitions without t making in-depth explanation. The Bible Dictionary is written by John .Davis and who is a professor of Semitic Philology and the Old Testament History. The Bible Dictionary is very useful for ...

Many Christians are confused on whether God’s covenant is conditional or unconditional of the present life and future response of its recipients. In his work Covenant Conditionality and a Future for Israel, Ronald Pierce gives a comprehensive explanation of this. First, the covenants given by God differ in the explicitness of their confidentiality. For Abraham, it is argued that there is an overt rationale for God’s promise, wherein God pronounces His blessing upon Abraham if he does his part. In Genesis 12 and 17, God commands him to leave his country so that he may receive his blessings. Moreover, ...

Genesis 1:1-5

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning – the first day (The Holy Bible, New International Version). Human Condition: In Genesis 1, Moses gives us the ...

Abstract Intimacy issues in marriages have been in the forefront of many psycho-social-spiritual circles recently. In addition, intimacy issues and barriers have just started to be analyzed psychologically, sociologically, physically, and spiritually in the psychoanalytic literature. Qualitative and longitudinal studies are giving way to new theories and thoughts on why the 21st century marriage has so many barriers to intimacy and how these barriers become ingrained in an individual’s psyche. These studies show that from birth to death, the human capacity to remember definitive moments that will forever change the outcome of an individual’s life, whether ...

The Theogony encompasses a wide array of classical mythology concerning the beliefs of ancient Greek people. Theogony illustrates narratives of how the gods created and shaped the universe. Thogony retells the Greek mythology the same way the bible in the book of Genesis depicts the story of creation. The Hesiod asserts the narrative is the work of a poet or a king that acts in the capacity of a prophet. Hesiod in the epic poem of Theogony offers the Greek version of Genesis in the bible. Hesiod says that, in the beginning of creation, there was a lot of chaos due to many elements ( ...

The term ‘covenant’ simply means ‘agreement’. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the term covenant appeared several times, but most of the said appearances are in Genesis and Exodus. The connection that God wanted to establish with his people, primarily those who trusted him fully could be seen to have been established on the capacity of the said individuals to respond to the laws and policies that come alongside the desire of gaining his approval. In Genesis, a distinct covenant described in this book was that of God’s covenant with Abraham. This covenant indicates God’s promise of giving Abraham the ‘ ...

There are many strange similarities between ancient texts of different cultures. Within these narratives, there are different trappings, but many of the stories remain eerily similar across cultural boundaries; within The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Old Testament of the Bible, for instance, there are a number of different stories that are remarkably similar. The story of Gilgamesh and the plant of eternal life is very similar to the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. However, perhaps the most similar of the stories contained within the Gilgamesh epic and the Old Testament of the Bible are ...

In both Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis 6-8, sin subdued the world. Human being had greatly multiplied his evils by rejecting the ways of God and following their own pleasures. God did not like the situation on earth and He sought to terminate the evil deeds that filled the earth with the flood (Sailhamer 314). In both Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis account, God destroyed the first world using water. In both accounts, the description made tend to be similar. According the Epic, God instructed Gilgamesh to build an ark to save the world from destruction whereas in the ...

God created human beings to work, and He has authority over humans to perform duties to the extent they are capable. In the first book of the Bible, God creates work into the real meaning of humanity. He creates human beings in his own image, and God himself is a worker. He places Adam in the garden of Aden for the reason of working it. In different parts of the scripture, God commands humans to work to their level best. Work carries on through to the end of the Bible. Having been created in the image of God, accountants tend ...

Skeptics are of the opinion that the account of the floods that destroyed nearly everything on earth given in Genesis is actually a modified description of the original story given in the Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet XI. As far as the dates are concerned, while the Gilgamesh epic is said to have been penned before 2000 BC, the dating of Genesis has been placed by scholars between 1500 BC and 500 BC (Deem 1). This indicates that the Genesis’ flood myth could have indeed been sourced by Biblical authors from the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. As a result, the two stories ...

Compare and contrast the God in Noah's story

and the God in the Prodigal Son Parable Reading the Bible, we notice how changes the personality of God. In the Old Testament He appears as a strict creator, disappointed with His creation and angry with people, who disrespect their Lord, whose thoughts and deeds are evil. In the New Testament we see the Lord, who loves every sinner, who's ready to meet him with open arms. Why the authors of Genesis and Gospels describe Him so differently? Was the Lord different, or maybe people had a different perception and understanding of His deeds? - The Lord and people ...

Article Summary: The Biblical Context of “Ethan Brand”

This article by Stock (1965) discusses the short story “Ethan Brand: A Chapter from an Abortive Romance” by Hawthorne (1850, 1852), specifically considering the Biblical context. He states that the story’s primary source is the Bible, and that whilst the most obvious biblical allusion is “to the concept of the Unpardonable Sin”, closer perusal of the tale shows that there are other, more complex allusions, the main one associated with the narrative of Cain and his character as encapsulated in legend (p.115). Stock also notes that Hawthorne’s choice of the name Ethan positions the character in a ...

Medical Ultrasonics: Ultrasound uses sound waves of high frequency to diagnose patients and image the body. Ultrasound waves are longitudinal in nature and they induce back and forth oscillation of particles thus producing a series of compressions and rarefactions. The velocity, wavelength and frequencies of these sound waves can be calculated using the formula,v=fλ where velocity (v) is the speed of the wave in meters per second (ms-1), frequency (f) is the number of oscillations in a second measured in Hertz (Hz), and wavelength (λ) is the distance between two rarefactions and compressions in meters (m).

Four years ago, 4.69 billion of people around the world, representing 68 percent of the 6.9 billion world population, have no knowledge of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ (Harper, n. p.), whom He sent to reconcile with Him. Still the hunger for God is in their hearts, the God they already adore with knowing Him unambiguously. Thus, after 20 centuries, the world still contains people, like that of Athens in the time of Paul, who kept an altar in their hearts wherein inscribed the cry: “To An Unknown God” (Luke ...

It is no secret that there are many problems plaguing Christianity. Many people are mentioning a number of criticisms about the authenticity of its religious elements. Even to the point that it criticizes whether God really did create humanity. Many theories in the past are proclaiming that God did not really create people but rather a product of evolution. One of the proponents that mentioned this kind of claim is Charles Darwin. As mentioned in p. 391, the book Origin of Species created an overwhelming impact (and even lasting) after its release. Darwin and his works mentioned that humans, similar to ...

We, human beings are distinct from all other beings on this planet due to our nature; we can think, reason and feel. Our ability to reason is what sets us apart and above all other creatures. It enables us to ponder upon the purpose of our existence and derive knowledge from our surroundings. It is our conduct when in a gathering and in loneliness, our behavior when faced with happiness and adversity, our reaction when encountered by failure and success. The book of Genesis states that man is made from ‘the dust of the ground’. However, it goes on ...

Charles Darwin published his masterpiece detailing his theory of evolution by natural selection, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life in 1859. Despite the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community, there are still loud and politically active Creationists that insist that the earth is less than 10,000 years old because the Bible says so. However, the Bible never actually states how old the universe or the earth is. Belief that there is a Creator and in the theory of evolution are compatible for followers of ...

Upon watching 50 advertisements late in the evening last night, I noticed several similarities, and I categorized the patterns into five groups. The firstare cars. The second arethe animals, and the third is family. Next are the visual ads and the last are the sexy ads. These are based on the image and identification stages of decoding advertisements. The first object, cars, is quite evident in its use. The ads are basically selling car brands. Thus, the ad frames are mainly composed of the car brand swiftly running on long-winded highways and the surroundings becoming blurry (“Hyundai Elantra ...

Project management is a term that has two words; project and; management. For a clear understanding and definition of project management, we must start by defining these two building words; According to Method123 (2003), a project is a unique endeavor that is set to achieve a set of deliverables within a specified time, resources among other constraints. Every project is unique in that it has its specific and unique goals to achieve within a defined timescale, limited resources, budget and associated risks. At the end of it all, each and every project is usually aimed at achieving a beneficial change. Management can be defined as the process ...

Genesis

The book of Genesis in the Bible, majorly explains about the origin the Earth and man. It gives a chronological story of how God used six days to come up with the world and all that dwells in it. However, the book of Genesis does not give the historical context of God. It just traces the first words God\ during creation of the Earth and its inhabitants. A reader remains wondering how God came into existence. A super human being, very powerful, is creating human beings in his image. Although this may be true, the book of life does not ...

Close Reading: Analysis of The Story of Abraham (Genesis chapters 15-22)

“Fear not, Abram: I am a shield to thee, thy reward very much.” (Genesis15:1). The above verse sums up the entire paragraph where God seems to use vision as the platform to convey his message to Abraham. In his dream, Abraham had God telling him that he would never go back on his promise to reward or save those who believed in him. While Abraham was protecting his kingdom with all his heart and soul, he knew he was doing a service to God. He was so much involved in the protection of his subjects, that he hardly had the ...

Michelangelo began in 1508 the Sistine Chapel and in a period of 4 years he painted the ancestors of Christ, the Old Testament Prophets and the pagan Sibyls. He included the Old Testament heroes and leaders defeating enemies of Faith. In 1530 he painted the Last Judgment on the altar wall. The complete work of the Sistine Chapel of Michelangelo shows a complete world history from the very beginning of Creation, the Old Testament including the Prophets and Moses, the pagan world all the way to the Life of Christ and Peter, including the history of the Church portraying the great ...

The book of Genesis begins with the creation of the cosmos from nothing by a supernatural deity. Creation is the core theme of the book of Genesis and the preternatural beings and objects are attributed to a supreme being. The natural realm exists in the physical universe whereas the metaphysical realm exists outside the common dimension of time. The intelligence design of the universe is attributed to a supernatural being. The book of genesis attempts to give a succinct explanation of the origin of the universe. Moses, the author, focused on the natural universe and did not bring his mind into labor ...

Genesis chapter 22 speaks about Abraham’s temptation by God to sacrifice his son, Isaac, at an altar in Moriah. Abraham followed God’s instructions, built an altar and lay Isaac down on the altar. Just as he was about to use his knife, an angel of God called him from the heavens and told him not to slay his son, for he had proven his fear of God by not withholding Isaac from Him (Gen 22:11-12, NKJV). Abraham had passed this test of faith. Christology is associated with the study of the person and deeds of Jesus. ...

Marriage or union is a social bond between two people called ‘spouses’ who bear rights and obligations towards each other. Since long, marriage has been a ‘union’ solely between man and woman.The history of marriage was almost 400 years ago. Heterosexuality or sexual attraction has played a great part in making union of different sexes. The idea of romance was started in 17th and 18th century when Enlightenment philosophers gave rise to the idea of ‘happiness in life.' The pair of Man and woman has been considered very natural and complying the laws of nature because only the union of man and ...

God’s covenant between Abraham and David are often speculated as conditional or unconditional. Given that there was a form of agreement between God and Abraham or David, the promise of land was considered conditional. God speculated that Abrahamic or Davidic lineage would be blessed through getting future land depending on the loyalty of the people to God. This paper will examine both Davidic and Abrahamic covenants made by God and the land grants that go hand in hand with these covenants. The covenant between God and Abraham is outlined in Genesis 15 and 17 in that the term ‘ ...

Reflection Paper: Grace and God’s Power

Introduction The present paper discusses grace and God’s power in a Christian context. Power is an English construct that stands for authority or might. In human relationships, power refers to the authority that one person holds over another. In many cases, however, the Bible uses “power’ in relation to God’s authority. God’s power refers to His sovereign nature over all that exists, such that no one can resist His will or thwart His purpose. It means that He has absolute authority over creation. Grace, on the hand, is closely associated with favor and mercy. Through grace, ...

Introduction

The story of creation is one of the most compelling and intriguing issues that has yet to be concluded. Public opinion is divided in resolving the age-long conflict of the young-earth old-earth dilemma. Even in the field of secular science, a consensus could not be reached. The age of the earth has remained a paradox that, until today, both biblical scholars and scientist are struggling to explain. Predating even the earliest human civilization, man can only speculate what may have happened billions or thousands of years ago. In order to explain man’s very own existence, creation theories have emerged. ...

Introduction

Bribery and corruption are a current primary public concern in most of the countries. It is partly attributable to the corruption press coverage regarding the public officials. Most OECD countries have enacted the legislation that prohibits bribery in the foreign public official level. Mainstream economists are also on the rise of focusing on the bribery factor in the business sector. They recognize bribery as a primary impediment for economic development and a subject that is worth policy redress and academic scrutiny. Both the International Monetary Fund and the known World Bank have established high profile commitments that aims at eradicating corrupt practices ...

THE ESSENTIALS TRUTHS IN LIFE

Introduction: Having a Right Worldview In today’s society, many people have significantly lost definitions. Men and women do not know what exactly they believe and even why they believe so. Many simply go along with the “tide” of secular and common knowledge. Having knowledge of the truth is a necessary thing in life. If truth should be relative of different persons and societies, there will be a chaos. For instance, the society’s lack of absolute position/stand in matters of homosexuality, divorce, and abortion has brought significant political and social conflicts. Moreover, knowledge of truth is necessary to answer deep ...
