Galileo's daughter

Galileo's daughter played an incredible role in the sucess of galileo because without her people wouldnt have understood the amazing works of Galileo. The only person who had understood the works of Galileo was the daughter. That was why she was able to understand his works and make it even better by polishing his work of discoveries into a great form of Literature. She was the only person who had understood during that time phrase because the church had not or was instulted by the works of galileo. They forced him to give up his work and forced him to believe that his work of discoveries were nothing but bullshit. Without Galileo's daughter Galileo could not have introduced his work to the public and we wouldn't be talking about him till this day. Proofs of his daughter working on his book was discovered and proven through her letters.

Gherbeti Doors

Gherbeti Doors
Lorenzo Ghibiberti had created art pieces as a work of Art.He created bronze doors for the baptistry and it was so beautiful that they gave him an award for the beautiful work of art. The doors had represented the work of Art by King Solomon. The church had pleaded for one more door to be built. This next door that been built had represented the art within the old testament which had later changed to the new testament. He was pleaded again to make the work of Art and he did and he called the gates the gates of paradise. The gates of paradise was built in a gothic styled Frescoe. It was designed by a guy named Arnolfo di Cambio. The second panel had set of drawings from the old testament like Noah, Moses Issac.

Affirmative action
African Americans should have the still have the opportunity to have a successful career in their lives. Once president Elect Obama became president it may have inspired the country but it does not create a great influence in the lives of young African Americans whom most children and even I don't really keep up to date with politics. Kanye West, 50 cents Kobe Bryant are celebrities or athletes that have a greater influence in the lives of African Americans today rather than president Elect Obama.Music or basketball may be something that young inndividuals are attracted to at a young age. Politics is not very appealing to young individuals. So 50 cents rapping about his gangsta life is actually a greater influence than to Barrack Obama who had changed the world and the history of America forever. When we over hear or talk with our friends just amongst friends we have conversations mostly about that last nights game. Or maybe even a conversation about some rappers or even celebrities. African Americans should still be given a little more time for them to actually see what Obama is actually doing for the country.

5 ways

5 Ways
The Argument from motion well there may be a lot of unanswered questions within the bible. No body will ever know what will occur after the occurrence of God creating the world. St Thomas' claims may be false because God would not fit in these categories because God himself had created the existence of these categories. God in my opinion he does not fit in these categories made by man. Before there was nothing which meant that even color did not exist. Which may also mean that science or any concept of science could not have possibly existed if there was nothing at all. If God was the creater of all it defeats the purpose of all laws that had tried to classify God. God created the Universe but we may wonder what may have created the Lord himself well truthfully we may never know but by faith or according to the bible he has always existed there and it is only faith that can hold us down with this true knowledge of creation.
1. The Arguement from motion.
People would mainly say who moved God? Well there had to be one being that is a mover or else we would be nothing. We wouldn't be created. If there is an end there is always a beggining and according to the christians the beggining is an intellegent designer who had design us and the universe. The Universe wasn't there forever. According to science heat will always equally even out.
2.Causation of existance
If everything had created itself then it comes to the fact that God could have created himself or that some being could have created God. This is not possible because then there would then be a never ending cycle. of creators. There had to have been a beggining and according to the christians God was the creator of all. God was the begining and without God you have nothing.

ST. Augustine

St Augustine was a philosopher whom had several belief of the world. The Church had followed his way of thinking's and had represented his thoughts a visual manner by building Gothic Cathedrals that had dark outsides and lights had shone inside signifying that as Christians or Catholics believed that the Lord had seen what good virtuous traits was in you rather than the outside. The inside was what had to be beautiful to the lord rather than the outside. The cathedral was built in a wat where the stained glass would shine beautiful colored light into the church. The sun had different rises during the day changed as people had prayed also changing the types of light that had shone in the room. My comp is not working that well ill finish this later

Adolf Hitler


Hitler had asserted one of the most perfect examples of fallacy . Hitler had been a great orator but later in time people had seen that Hitler was an Infamous leader that had opressed Jews. Hitler had written making people to believe in the wrong idea behind things. Hitler had written down how he had felt about the world. There were some false analogies as Hitler explains that humans are told to act the ways animals do. Hitler sorts out people into different categories which is also the begginings of his views of different ethnicities. Evidence is also shown when he talks about the arian race. Hitler was not the only person who had actually done this according to history. AccordingSt Augustine was a philosopher whom had several belief of the world. The Church had followed his way of thinking's and had represented his thoughts a visual manner by building Gothic Cathedrals that had dark outsides and lights had shone inside signifying that as Christians or Catholics believed that the Lord had seen what good virtuous traits was in you rather than the outside. The inside was what had to be beautiful to the lord rather than the outside. The cathedral was built in a wat where the stained glass would shine beautiful colored light into the church. The sun had different rises during the day changed as people had prayed also changing the types of light that had shone in the room. Having a purified heart or inside is what had really mattered. As people had prayed to the Lord people had purified their minds as they pray in the church's divided
to History Thousands of Jews were oppressed or killed by the Christian Church. The Christian Church had hated the Jews because people had believed that the Jews were the ones who had killed Jesus and they were oppressed greatly. Hitler according to history was not the only one who had used the Jews as a scapegoat but rather it was the Early Christian Church that had started the whole trend.
