Download or read book Evidence of My Existence written by Jim Lo Scalzo and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When the book opens, Jim Lo Scalzo is a blur to his wife, her remarkable tolerance wearing thin. She is heading to the hospital with her second miscarriage, and Jim is heading to Baghdad to cover the American invasion of Iraq. He hates himself for this - for not giving her a child, for deserting her when she so obviously needs him, for being consumed by his job - but how to stop moving? Sure, there have been some tough trips. He's been spit on by Mennonites in Missouri, by heroin addicts in Pakistan, and by the KKK in South Carolina. He's contracted hepatitis on the Navajo Nation, endured two bouts of amoebic dysentery in India and Burma and four cases of giardia in Nepal, Peru, Afghanistan, and Cuba. He's been shot with rubber bullets in Seattle, knocked to the ground by a water cannon in Quebec, and sprayed with more teargas than he cares to recall. But photojournalism is his career, and travel is his compulsive craving.".
Download or read book Actual Proof of My Existence Signed written by Don Christie and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2003-03 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to show some of the strongest proof that the scriptures are the inspired 'Word of God' and do it in the most simple way. The book starts out by showing about 18 Psalms that accurately predicted all of the major events of the 20th century by landing in the Psalm number that is the same year of the event, some even on the correct verse numbers of the month also! The Psalms are the 19th book of the Bible so Psalm 46 becomes 1946 with "He makes wars to cease" one year after 1945 and WWII. Psalm 87 as(1987) Saddam Hussein's month long (Babylonian) party with musicians invited from all over the world where Babylon is mentioned in Psalm 87:4 "I will make mention of Rahab and (Babylon); Psalm 87:7 with "As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there." Other events predicted events are the Y2K problem of 1999 in Psalm 99:8 "thou tookest vengeance of their (inventions)"; the WTC attack, El Nino, Gulf War, and on and on, even future events are explored. Psalm 103 as 2003 talks about the "eagles" and those that are "oppressed" just like America the eagles setiing the oppressed free in Operation Iraqi Freedom. This book also shows that all of our modern day science 'constants' are encoded in the Psalms by a 'key phrase' in the Psalm of the same number. Psalm 19 electricity(heat sun, circuit), Psalm 27 light and 10^-27 power is a photon of light, Psalm 29 creation fire, Psalm 31 "speedy" electron and the "net", Psalm 38 "heavy" gravity and on up to 23 Psalms, not one misses! This book goes deep into the "Tabernacle of Moses", and the "Ark of the Covenant" showing that these Bible structures are actual models of modern day science. This book shows upwards of 600 key scriptures where the verse numbers equal the meaning of the verse. There is much more in the book as well as these subjects about the Bible's numbers. The book is guaranteed to please and show 'powerful' proof that the scriptures are the inspired Word of God, because this is a book of facts not speculation. All of modern day history and science will unravel from the Psalms in just the first 2 chapters alone, all landing on the correct verse numbers! Imagine playing a lotto where you have to get 40 numbers correct out of 150 numbers on the first try, because this is what the Psalms did 3,000 years ago! The odds are about 10^40th power to 1 (40 zeroes) that all of the proper "key expressions" keep landing in the Psalm of the same number as the year or a science constant number. I know that you will enjoy the book and be blown away by the '"proof". Don Christie

Download or read book The Evidence of Things Not Seen written by James Baldwin and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over twenty-two months in 1979 and 1981 nearly two dozen children were unspeakably murdered in Atlanta despite national attention and outcry; they were all Black. James Baldwin investigated these murders, the Black administration in Atlanta, and Wayne Williams, the Black man tried for the crimes. Because there was only evidence to convict Williams for the murders of two men, the children's cases were closed, offering no justice to the families or the country. Baldwin's incisive analysis implicates the failures of integration as the guilt party, arguing, "There could be no more devastating proof of this assault than the slaughter of the children." As Stacey Abrams writes in her foreword, "The humanity of black children, of black men and women, of black lives, has ever been a conundrum for America. Forty years on, Baldwin's writing reminds us that we have never resolved the core query: Do black lives matter? Unequivocally, the moral answer is yes, but James Baldwin refuses such rhetorical comfort." In this, his last book, by excavating American race relations Baldwin exposes the hard-to-face ingrained issues and demands that we all reckon with them.
Download or read book Reasoning about God written by Harry J Gensler and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reasoning about God is an introduction to philosophy of religion, meeting college students where they are with their own doubts and questions. Each chapter begins with a passage from a fictional student, who raises intellectual problems against God, which is followed by the author’s informed and easy-to-understand analysis. This debate structure allows student readers to clearly see the clash of ideas, gets them involved in the issues, and encourages their critical thinking (since students are pushed to find flaws in the ideas). It emulates the structure the author followed successfully in his Ethics: A Contemporary Introduction, which is now in its third edition and has been translated five times into other languages. This structure works well in philosophy of religion, even better than in does in ethics. Key Features of Reasoning about God: Written clearly and concisely, making difficult issues easy to understand. Makes a strong case for belief in God, based on various factors – including arguments about fine-tuning, Kalam, and near-death experiences – as well as approaches that are more instinctual or emotional. A major theme of the book is "There are many paths to God." Includes material on both traditional topics of philosophy of religion (like the problem of evil) and other related topics of interest (like whether religion is harmful, life after death, the variety of world religions, and the meaning of life). Explores how science connects to God’s existence, arguing that recent science is friendlier toward religion than older science. Written by a Christian author, whose defense of belief in God works with other theistic traditions as well (like Islam and Judaism).
Download or read book Intuition and Ideality written by David Weissman and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1987-07-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how idealism is a consequence of the intuitionist method. Idealism develops from mental content inspected by mind, or as mind characterizing itself. Weissman declares that the idea of an independent world, of a nature whose character and existence are independent of mind, cannot be recovered until we repudiate the intuitionist method. This psycho-centric ontology has been pervasive in Western philosophy since Parmenides and Plato. Intuition and Ideality characterizes its varieties, dialectical cycles, and idealist consequences. What is required is a method that is speculative and testablea method that makes speculation responsible by testability. Weissman characterizes such a hypothetical method, and he describes some of the categorical features that are discovered in the world as this alternative method is used.

Download or read book God s Crime Scene written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are four ways to die, and only one of them requires an intruder. Suicides, accidental, and natural deaths can occur without any evidence from outside the room. But murders typically involve suspects external to the crime scene. If there’s evidence of an outside intruder, homicide detectives have to prepare for a chase. Intruders turn death scenes into crime scenes. Join J. Warner Wallace, former atheist, seasoned cold-case detective, and popular national speaker as he tackles his most important case ... with you on the jury! With the expertise of a cold-case detective, J. Warner examines eight critical pieces of evidence in the “crime scene” of the universe to determine if they point to a Divine Intruder. If you have ever wondered if something (or someone) outside the natural realm created the universe and everything in it, this is the case for you.
Download or read book The Prayer of My Life How God Changed Me in Seven Months written by Tony Portugal and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes this book extremely unique is that the story portion, minus the editing process, was actually written in less than one week. The principles, which are at the end of the story, were written during Tonys journey in his initial seven months with God. In Tonys own words he says: I was not raised in church. I have never known God. Truthfully, I have never actually known myself. My familys love and their concerns for my well-being had always fallen on deaf ears. Simply by establishing my life around counterfeit friends, it forced me to live in the darkest reality of my time. What changed? I went to kill a manand instead Jesus interfered. It is quite unbelievable how believable God really is. The Bible would become the first Book I ever read. Did I understand it at first? No. But the Bible is not based on logical thinking, but illogical people. Lord, I refuse to leave Your presence until You bring out of me what You promised was in me. With that same perspective, the Bible contains a power that enables us to go beyond ourselves. Its mind-blowing how within seven months God can flip your world inside out!

Download or read book The Proof of the External World written by Steven M. Duncan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Descartes' attempt to ground the possibility of human knowledge in the existence of God was judged to be a complete failure by his contemporaries, and this remains the universal opinion of philosophers to this day, despite the fact that three and a half centuries of secular epistemology--which attempts to ground the possibility of knowledge either in the unaided human intellect or in natural processes--has failed to do any better. Further, the leading twentieth-century attempts at theistic epistemology reject both the conception of knowledge and the standards of epistemic evaluation that Descartes takes for granted. "In this book--partly an interpretation of Descartes and partly an attempt to complete his project-- the author attempts to show that a theistic epistemology incorporating Platonic and Aristotelian/Thomist elements can revitalize the Cartesian approach to the solution of the central problems of epistemology, including that most elusive of prizes--the proof of the external world." --From the author's preface

Book excerpt: Since 1949, when Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Max Frankel began to write for The New York Times, readers have looked to his work as a lens through which they could witness America's role in a rapidly changing world. In this vivid and unforgettable memoir, Frankel chronicles the times of his extraordinary life as he experienced them...within the context of the news stories that defined an era. A quintessentially American story, The Times of My Life traces Frankel's riveting personal relationship with history...his harrowing escape from Nazi Germany...his life as an immigrant on the streets of New York...and his extraordinary half-century-long career at The Times. In a rich first-person account that moves from Hitler's Berlin to Cold War Moscow, from Castro's Havana to the newsroom of America's most influential newspaper, this powerful, compelling work interweaves Frankel's personal and professional lives with the era's greatest stories, from Sputnik to the Pentagon Papers to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. And it reveals Frankel's fascinating off-the-record encounters with Nikita Khrushchev, Henry Kissinger, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and a host of other history-makers who shaped their times--and ours. Guiding readers through Hitler's Berlin, Khrushchev's Moscow, Castro's Havana, and the Washington of Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, THE TIMES OF MY LIFE reevaluates the Cold War, and interweaves Frankel's personal and professional life with the greatest stories of the era.
