In our fist discussion, we talked about Hecht's quiz near the begining of the intro. We talked about what our answers to the questions were and why we answered them the way that we did. Our main focus was is there an intelligent higher being that created the universe and if there is, would such a being care about the wants, needs, and actions of an individual.
Factual question: How long ago was the fisrt historical record of doubt?
Discussion question: Would it be better for logos or fate to be the deciding factor of the "the gods"?
Our first discussion was really enjoyable and I think it is a reflection of our future conversations. As far as a higher power, I would like to think that there is a higher power watching over the universe. If there is a force out there, I would hope that it is much more evolved state than humans so that it would be able to have more compassion and understanding than us humans. I would hope that it would see Earth and humans as it's children therefore only wanting the best for us. I am still waiting on my copy of Doubt so I can not answer the factual question.
ReplyDeleteIn what ways would one explore the legitimacy and the reality of a higher power?
