- 551: Miracles
- ... in the world; a supernatural interference into nature; a special divine interaction. As Christians, the biblical definition is what we put our faith in. Now we need to know the history of miracles and if they really exist in today's world. Biblical miracles claim to be historical events. If they are not historical, then the foundation of Christianity is false ... that since miracles such as the virgin birth, raising the dead and walking on the water, do not occur today, then these events cannot be known to have happened in history. This means that biblical miracles are historically unknowable. "In response, it has been shown that this argument engages in special pleading and begging the question in favor of naturalism" (Geisler 1992:82). As Christians we believe in the historical view of the biblical miracles. Christians believe that the Bible is God's revelation of His involvement int he history of the world. "When God acts in history, He leaves behind His ‘fingerprints'. By examining the biblical record we can discover those distinctive characteristics of God's imprint" ( Geiser ...
- 552: The Town of El Dorado Springs
- ... natural springs that, according to Kemp, the Indians had known about but did not tell anyone before leaving the area. From earlier research, I had learned a little about the history of the town's beginnings.

I had and that she didn't, and left to see if the library had information for me. At the library, I asked if there was any information on the history of El Dorado Springs available.

Sifting through the one hundred years of the town's history from the newspaper, what I was finding was a town that was steeped in history. It considered its finest asset to be a mineral spring that brought about amazing ...
- 553: Canterbury Tales - Medieval Ch
- ... demanded more voice in the affairs of government, the church became corrupt -- this corruption also led to a more crooked society. Nevertheless, there is no such thing as just church history; This is because the church can never be studied in isolation, simply because it has always related to the social, economic and political context of the day. In history then, there is a two way process where the church has an influence on the rest of society and of course, society influences the church. This is naturally because it ... fear, deny their people the knowledge of the un-Christian richness in their ancestry, and so the traditions that were not masked as Christian are lost to students of Christian history and literature. But it seems this period had not seen such extensive discrimination. The two ways of the world were not quite so separate then, and matters of the ...
- 554: The Dreyfus Affair and Its Cause
- ... and done, Alfred Dreyfus was acquitted of his charges with a full pardon, he also regained his position in the army as well as Picquart, and Henry commited suicide. Throughout history there has been many cases of similar feeling that have caused injustice as a result of the instances. We have seen it in Modern history and ancient history with blacks facing cruel and unfair treatment in South Africa and the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela; the persecution of and extermination of Jews in the second World War by ...
- 555: First Amendment
- ... be guilty of violating the bounds of the First Amendment by publicly offending others through obscenity or racism. Americans have developed a distinct disposition toward the freedom of expression throughout history. The First Amendment clearly voices a great American respect toward the freedom of religion. It also prevents the government from "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Since the early history of our country, the protection of basic freedoms has been of the utmost importance to Americans. In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that ... in this case the principles of free speech have been abused because young children can purchase and listen to this obscene music. The American flag, symbol of our country's history and patriotism, has also become a topic of controversy. The controversy was over the right to burn the flag without punishment. Supreme Court Justice William Brennan offered the response ...
- 556: Christianity And Judaism
- ... a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters." And so, believe many, the earth's history began. This quotation from the Bible and the stories that follow it have spawned so many different sects in the Christian Tradition. But what spawned Christianity? Most would say the ... heighten understanding and ecumenism. It can make clear the ignorance of such religious hatred, which even now, in perhaps the most successful age of ecumenism, continue to destroy nations. The history of Judaism and the history of the Christian Tradition are heavily intertwined. For centuries the two have lived together side by side. It is important to understand exactly how the two survived together around ...
- 557: Bede the Venerable
- Bede the Venerable Bede the Venerable was a very important figure in history. He made many significant contributions to the English language. Bede was born in Northumbria England in 673. When he was a young boy at age 7 his relatives sent him ... English prose. All of his work in the English vernacular has since been lost, but he is still considered the "Father of English Writing" and also "The Father of English History."

He also included details of how five monks lived their lives ...
- 558: Comparison of The American Revolution and the French Revolution
- ... bobbing along the street on pikes. "In all," as historian Otto Scott put it, "a glorious victory of unarmed citizens over the forces of tyranny, or so the newspapers and history later said."11 The French Revolution had begun. Despite the bloodshed at the Bastille and the riots in Paris, there was some clear-headed thinking. Mirabeau wanted to keep the ... streets of Paris began to run with blood, as thousands of people were killed by the guillotine. As more soldiers were needed to "liberate" the rest of Europe, France instituted history's first universal levy, the ultimate in state control over the lives of its citizens. For opposing the Revolution, most of the city of Lyons was destroyed. Lafayette, who at ... unlike the French Revolution, the American Revolution brought forth what would become one of the world's freest societies. There were, of course, difficulties. During the "critical period" of American history, from 1783- 1787, the 13 states acted as 13 separate nations, each levying import duties as it pleased.

- 559: Society and The Role That Computers Play In USA
- ... in a technologically advanced world. Voting & Poisoned Political Process in The U.S. The advance of mass communication is natural in a technologically advanced society. In our country's short history, we have seen the development of the printing press, the radio, the television, and now the Internet; all of these, able to reach millions of people. Equally natural, is the ... method of persuasion by political figures, multinational corporate advertising, and the upper 2% of the elite, who have an interest in controlling public opinion. Newspapers and radio experienced this same history, but are now somewhat obsolete in the science of changing public opinion. Though I do not suspect television to become completely obsolete within the next 20 years, I do see the Internet being used by the same political figures, multinational corporations, and upper 2% elite, for the same purposes. At this time, in the Internet's young history, it is largely unregulated, and can be accessed and changed by any person with a computer and a modem; no license required, and no need for millions of dollars ...
- 560: Dred Scott
- The Dred Scott Decision There have been several cases in the history of the Supreme Court that have had a powerful impact on both the highest court of the land and the history of the United States.
