... history, we find a "book" that basically paves the path for the religion's followers. If we did believe that the principles are innate then we would have no common understanding of what the essence of religion is. As I mediate the question of compatibility, I will dissect my own religion, the religion of Islam, as well as rational views on God. In Islam, the religion does not allow one to ask questions about the religion. Therefore, any rationalist view of the religion would be going against the religion. Many rationalistic views come from ones own interpretation of the Koran. According to Abdullah Ibn Abbas ...

... animals� is a valid argument with a false conclusion. On the other hand, an invalid argument may by chance have a true conclusion. “Some animals are two-footed; all people are animals; therefore, all people are two-footed� happens to have a true conclusion, but the argument is not valid. Logical validity depends on the form of the argument, not on its content. If the argument were valid, some other term could be substituted for all occurrences of any one of those used and validity would not be affected. By substituting “four-footed� for “two-footed,� it can be seen that the premises could both be ...

... of cultural diversity that encouraged ethnic and minority students to study their respective heritages. This is not a simple feat due to the fact that there is much diversity within individual cultures. A look at the 1991 Canadian census shows that the population has changed more noticeable in the last ten years than in any other time in the twentieth century, with one out of four Canadians identifying themselves as black, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander, Metis or Native. (Gould 1995: 198) Most people, from educators to philosophers, agree that an important first step in succe4ssfully joining multiple cultur ...

... to display it, so that text which is keyed in (typed) can be seen before being printed. The text can be corrected on the screen, centred, and words or paragraphs inserted or deleted, etc. Then the text can be printed off as many times as desired, or one copy can be printed and then subsequent changes made before more copies are run off. What can the word processor do for children? When children write by hand they often do a rough outline first, which is then modified and corrected; the changes involving words, lines or larger items of text. Adults often go through the same process, producing a rough ...

... and at home. This position requires a closer look at specific leisure activities; where and with whom they are spent, and the ultimate effect that these activities had on society and gender roles. More significantly however, is how the establishment of leisure activities for women came about, rather than the simple change in availability of such activities. First let s look at Peiss s position on the matter of how cheap amusements challenged gender traditions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. What does Peiss have to say about women s roles at the turn of the century? Peiss argues initially that ...

... the book of II Thessalonians was written. Since it is agreed that Paul wrote I Thessalonians, the text and style of II Thessalonians can be compared to it. If things such as vocabulary and style differ between the two, it shows that Paul may not have written II Thessalonians. An example of this is noticeable in II Thessalonians 1:3 and 2:13. The verses have the phrase, "we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters…" (NRSV) which cannot be found in any other works by Paul and they seem to be uncharacteristic of him. The phrase, "shaken in mind", is in 2:2 (NRSV) and is another example ...

... as they seek to maintain their profit. Thus an increase in rates by the Federal Reserve results in an increase in interest rates charged to customers by financial institutions throughout the nation. Investors may, in this instance, move some funds out of other investments in order to take advantage of the higher rates (such as moving out of bonds), and the stock market may see a decrease in value as investors weigh the effect of the interest rate increase on corporate borrowing. The Fed held interest rates steady for most of 1997 and 1998 during which time the economy moved forward at a slow pace. Inflatio ...

... legacy to western historians. Historians have explored possible pre-columbian contact between the Old and New Worlds. They have even suggested that the legends that surround Quetzalcoatl aided the demise of the Aztec Empire by making the Spanish conqueror Hernando Cortez appear to be the returning god. The manifestations of Quetzalcoatl, the origins of the legends that surround him, and their impact on the Aztec Empire are the focus of this paper. The translation of Quetzalcoatl means literally Plumed Serpent. A more understandable translation would be feathered serpent. This point is interesting in that he very ...

... Roberto Alomar makes 5.5 million dollars a year due to his five Gold Gloves. He is one of major league baseball’s best all around players and is destined for the Hall of Fame. In a 1996 divisional playoff game, Alomar was up to bat. Umpire John Hirschbeck called Alomar out on strikes. Alomar went back to the dugout where he started to argue the call with Hirschbeck. The umpire finally tossed Alomar. Orioles manager Davey Johnson along with Alomar went racing to home plate to argue the ejection. As Alomar was being pushed away by Johnson, he spit at Hirschbeck. Alomar was suspended for five games which ...
