Galileo And The Warfare Thesis
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Writing in the late nineteenth century, Draper and White put forward an idea that was quickly embraced: the "warfare thesis," which suggests that science has always been in conflict with religion. Clearly, the direct connection between science and religion is not easily attained, inasmuch as science is based in a foundation of undeniable proof, while religion is grounded in the concept of belief. Would Galileo support or reject the warfare thesis based upon his Letter to the Grand Duchess, Christina? Indeed, one might readily argue that he would support Draper and White's theory, inasmuch as his letter was meant to bring to light the myriad shortcomings produced by biblical interpretation. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Gibson's Passion of the Christ &Traditional Theology
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research paper that discusses the controversy surround the film The Passion of the Christ, produced and directed by Mel Gibson. This movie presents the last twelve hours of Jesus' life, that is, his suffering and crucifixion in a manner that demonizes Jewish authorities of the time. Particularly since all dialogue in the movie is spoken in either Latin or Aramaic (with English subtitles), the film has the "feel" of a documentary and it is likely that many viewers will regard it as an accurate dramatization of the gospel story of Christ's death. This paper compares Gibson's film to accounts of the crucifixion recorded in the Gospels. This comparison shows that Gibson added a great deal more violence than is actually portrayed in the Bible. The theological and racial implications of Gibson's film are then discussed in light of his personal history and background. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Gilgamesh v. Genesis
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the viewpoints of the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Book of Genesis concerning the meaning of the flood narrative. The story of a great flood in Gilgamesh, the ancient Babylonian epic, and in the Book of Genesis are remarkably similar. They both concern deities deciding to destroy humanity through water and the salvation of one specific man and his family. But while these stories parallel each other in many of their details, they also indicate that the cultural themes of ancient Iraq and Israel were actually quite different. The Babylonian myth concerns the capricious nature of the gods, along with the reassuring message that humanity is meant to live, while the Hebrew myth is designed to emphasize the standards of behavior that Jehovah demands in order to avoid retribution against wickedness.
