    1. Leviathan (/lɪˈvaɪ.əθən/; Hebrew: .mw-parser-output .script-hebrew,.mw-parser-output .script-Hebr{font-size:1.15em;font-family:"SBL Hebrew","SBL BibLit","Frank Ruehl CLM","Taamey Frank CLM","Ezra SIL","Ezra SIL SR","Keter Aram Tsova","Taamey Ashkenaz","Taamey David CLM","Keter YG","Shofar","David CLM","Hadasim CLM","Simple CLM","Nachlieli",Cardo,Alef,"Noto Serif Hebrew","Noto Sans Hebrew","David Libre",David,"Times New Roman",Gisha,Arial,FreeSerif,FreeSans}לִוְיָתָן‎, Livyatan) is a creature with the form of a sea serpent from Jewish belief, referenced in the Hebrew Bible in the Book of Job, Psalms, the Book of Isaiah, the Book of Amos; it is also mentioned in the apocryphal First Book of Enoch.

      .Leviathan was a sea serpent and often called a monster .This 'monster' is very significant because many different religious include it in there holy books Even though all religions are different they all used the leviathan as some sort of monster who fought or was made by god .

    2. Later Jewish sources describe Leviathan as a dragon who lives over the sources of the Deep and who, along with the male land-monster Behemoth, will be served up to the righteous at the end of time.

      https://www.pinterest.com/pin/721138959072259822/ The Leviathan was an evil creature who was an enemy to Israel. It was a creature with huge size and strength. The Leviathan also symbolizes a serpent who will later be slain by God.

    3. Leviathan already figures in the Hebrew Bible as a metaphor for a powerful enemy,

      This idea of creation makes me wonder if there is still this creature. Has this creature always been. Is it still out there somewhere? Will it come again at the end of creation since it says it is a powerful enemy.

    4. Later Jewish sources describe Leviathan as a dragon who lives over the sources of the Deep and who, along with the male land-monster Behemoth, will be served up to the righteous at the end of time.

      This creature is important to the Jewish people in a bad way. Because it may be the end of time for them and that god is coming. Again but god didn't make many of the sea monsters.

    5. Later Jewish sources describe Leviathan as a dragon who lives over the sources of the Deep and who, along with the male land-monster Behemoth, will be served up to the righteous at the end of time.

      This creature was like a bad creature to the Jewish back then and whenever they would see them would mean it was the end of time and that god made fewer of them so nothing bad would happen. (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/56506170321636535/)

    1. Native myths such as the Raven Tales, as opposed to tall tales and little stories for children, are not entertainment and are cultural property of the clan or individual that the story originates from. It is customary that others should not tell stories that are owned by another clan, especially if they do not live in the same area

      This is very significant because people need to know that these stories aren't just a little children's story but more of a very important part of peoples culture . These types of stories mean so much to the people that are a part of that culture and believe many people forget all about that and are often disrespectful .

    2. Raven Tales are the traditional human and animal creation stories of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast.

      This particular sentence reminds me of fables. At the end of all fables the story being told, teaches the readers a lesson. For example the Tortoise and the Hare, the fox and the grapes or the lion and the mouse.

    3. When the Raven became tired of carrying the stone and dropped it, the stone fell into the ocean and expanded until it formed the firmament on which humans now live.

      This sentence is very signifcant because it refers to how humans live now.

    4. One day the Raven became so bored with bird land that he flew away, carrying a stone in his beak. When the Raven became tired of carrying the stone and dropped it, the stone fell into the ocean and expanded until it formed the firmament on which humans now live

      This quote shows how people believe how the the ravens helped the world by making it after he dropped his stone witch made the land that people walk on today

    5. While each culture's stories of the Raven are different, there are even those that share the same title; certain attributes of Raven remain the same. The Raven is always a magical creature able to take the form of human, animal, even inanimate objects. He is a keeper of secrets, and a trickster often focused on satisfying his own gluttony for whatever he desires.

      The Raven is different for each culture but they are always a magical creature which is able to take the form of human, animals, and inanimate objects. Would you be be able to tell the difference between normal things and a raven or would it be hidden? They say that it is only focused it's own gluttony for whatever it desires but it keeps your secrets.If you knew it only cared about itself, why would you talk to it?

    6. One version of the Raven creation story is that of the Cahto in California.[5] In one variant, Raven is taught by his father, Kit-ka'ositiyi-qa, to be a creator, but Raven is unsatisfied with the result. He creates the world but is unable to give it light or water

      In the story people are making world that come from specific needs so he stole from them to get what he need back for another ones god.

    7. One version of the Raven creation story is that of the Cahto in California.[5] In one variant, Raven is taught by his father, Kit-ka'ositiyi-qa, to be a creator, but Raven is unsatisfied with the result. He creates the world but is unable to give it light or water

      In this story it is like people making worlds with specific need so he stole from them, its more like we are a universe in another ones for the gods

    1. Nüwa created humanity due to her loneliness, which grew more intense over time. She molded yellow earth or, in other versions, yellow clay into the shape of people. These individuals later became the wealthy nobles of society, because they had been created by Nüwa's own hands. However, the majority of humanity was created when Nüwa dragged string across mud to mass produce them, which she did because creating every person by hand was too time- and energy-consuming. This creation story gives an aetiological explanation for the social hierarchy in ancient China. The nobility believed that they were more important than the mass-produced majority of humanity, because Nüwa took time to create them, and they had been directly touched by her hand.

      Nuwa herself was able to create humans and the ones she did create became noble people . I find it interesting see her as a huge god because she made the people with her own two hands and sculpted them . I really like what she represents because her story is where China got their social hierarchy .[]

    2. Nüwa was born three months after her brother, Fuxi, to whom she later took as her husband; this marriage is the reason why Nüwa is credited with inventing the idea of marriage.[10]

      What comes into our minds when we think about someone marrying their own brother. It sounds very weird and unusual because in today's world peopel don't tend to do that.

    3. They talked about becoming husband and wife

      This is significant because it is completely against other beliefs. This type of act is considered incest in many other beliefs and faiths and is forbidden. Therefore, this idea is going to frowned upon by people today.

    1. Âu Cơ had always desired to be in the mountains again and Lạc Long Quân, too, yearned for the sea. They separated, each taking 50 children. Âu Cơ settled in mountainous northern Vietnam where she raised fifty young, intelligent, strong leaders, later known as the Hùng Vương, Hùng kings.[3][4]

      Au Co was a fairy who fell in love with a dragon who saved her . I found this part of the text interesting because of how both parties wanted different things but they both respected each others choices by coming up with a compromise and end up okay with the decision . Even if they couldn't be together and happy both got kids and Au Co the fairy was able to live in the mountain and still raised really strong kids .

    2. They separated, each taking 50 children. Âu Cơ settled in mountainous northern Vietnam where she raised fifty young, intelligent, strong leaders, later known as the Hùng Vương, Hùng kings

      Au Co was a fairy helping those people who suffered.I find it interesting that a that a dragon king from the sea saved Au Co and divided the 100 eggs of children.Although they didn't live together they both raised their own kids where they wanted.

    1. Many elements are shared by most Korean creation narratives. In one such episode, two gods grow flowers in a contest to decide who will rule the human world.

      These narratives roughly share the same plot of how the world came about. In Greek mythology its said the world was brought upon very similarly.

    2. In one such episode, two gods grow flowers in a contest to decide who will rule the human world. The deserving benevolent god grows the (better) blossom, but the other god steals it while the good god sleeps. The undeserving cheater thereby becomes the ruler of humanity and spreads evil into the world.

      This myth follows other creation myths in that there is good and evil. It seems that most creation views start good and evil enters. The question is who wins in the end.

    1. A motif of father-against-son conflict was repeated when Cronus was confronted by his son, Zeus. Because Cronus had betrayed his father, he feared that his offspring would do the same, and so each time Rhea gave birth, he snatched up the child and ate it. Rhea hated this and tricked him by hiding Zeus and wrapping a stone in a baby's blanket, which Cronus ate. When Zeus was full grown, he fed Cronus a drugged drink which caused him to vomit, throwing up Rhea's other children, including Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera, and the stone, which had been sitting in Cronus's stomach all this time.

      This piece of text is referenced in many places. I've heard several different stories about how the Greek gods came about with one being that Gaia was the master mind behind Zeus escape as a infant.

    2. The Greek myths were initially propagated in an oral-poetic tradition most likely by Minoan and Mycenaean singers starting in the 18th century BC

      This is significance because till this day we learn and use myths in songs as well.Myths teach us a lot of good stuff like Achilles heal.

    3. Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes.

      This is significant because that mythology has definitely had an impact on the world even today. Greek mythology has many great lessons contained in it that people can still learn from. For example the concepts of good versus evil, greediness, vanity, and more are brought out in Greek mythology. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/331155378853687187/

    4. A motif of father-against-son conflict was repeated when Cronus was confronted by his son, Zeus. Because Cronus had betrayed his father, he feared that his offspring would do the same, and so each time Rhea gave birth, he snatched up the child and ate it. Rhea hated this and tricked him by hiding Zeus and wrapping a stone in a baby's blanket, which Cronus ate. When Zeus was full grown, he fed Cronus a drugged drink which caused him to vomit, throwing up Rhea's other children, including Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera, and the stone, which had been sitting in Cronus's stomach all this time. Zeus then challenged Cronus to war for the kingship of the gods.

      Cronus fear of losing power are significant to this quote. Because his fear made his such a coward that he had to eat his own children to stay in power.but his wife who thought who knew this we cruel tricked him and saved one of the babies and the one she saved killed Cronus.

    5. Greek mythology is the body of myths originally told by the ancient Greeks and a genre of Ancient Greek folklore. These stories concern the origin and the nature of the world, the lives and activities of deities, heroes, and mythological creatures, and the origins and significance of the ancient Greeks' own cult and ritual practices.

      Greek mythology was created for people to tell stories about the world and how it was created. The stories that were told had very different things in them every time.

    6. Greek mythology is the body of myths originally told by the ancient Greeks and a genre of Ancient Greek folklore. These stories concern the origin and the nature of the world, the lives and activities of deities, heroes, and mythological creatures, and the origins and significance of the ancient Greeks' own cult and ritual practices

      Greek mythology was created to tell stories about how this world was created.These stories contained a lot of different things.

    7. Out of the void emerged Gaia (the Earth) and some other primary divine beings: Eros (Love), the Abyss (the Tartarus), and the Erebus.[22] Without male assistance, Gaia gave birth to Uranus (the Sky) who then fertilized her.

      After everything was created they didn't allow anymore titans to be born, this shows that the titans were paranoid of losing there power and control.

    1. Represented as young men and the steeds who pull the sun across the sky, the Divine Twins rode horses (sometimes they were depicted as horses themselves) and rescued men from mortal peril in battle or at sea.[145] The Divine Twins are often differentiated: one is represented as a young warrior while the other is seen as a healer or concerned with domestic duties.[116] In most tales where they appear, the Divine Twins rescue the Dawn from a watery peril, a theme that emerged from their role as the solar steeds.[146][147] At night, the horses of the sun returned to the east in a golden boat, where they traversed the sea[note 3] to bring back the Sun each morning. During the day, they crossed the sky in pursuit of their consort, the morning star.[147]

      The horses are making carrying around the earth this is similar to atlas as they are carrying around the earth.

    1. Areop-Enap placed the snail under his arm and lay down and slept for three days, directing some of his power to the snail.[3] Then he found a second, larger snail which he placed under his arm and again slept for three days,

      This is kind of similar to bear because when they start to hibernate they sleep for a very long time because they do this to survive the winter.

    1. early acts of literacy were closely tied to power and chiefly used for management practices, and probably less than 1% of the population was literate, as it was confined to a very small ruling elite.

      Literacy has always been used to separate the powerful from the powerless. This makes me think of "literacy tests" that were implemented from the late 1800s to the mid 1960s to prevent minorities, specifically Black Americans, from voting.

    2. According to 2015 UIS data collected by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, about two-thirds (63%) of the world's illiterate adults are women.

      As Americans, we often forget that there are people around the world who never get the opportunity to attend school. This statistic shows there is still a big gender gap in education. One of my inspirations is Malala Yousafzai who is an activist for girls rights to an equal education. As future teachers, I think it is important to look at the global lens of education.

    3. Modern attention to literacy as a "context-dependent assemblage of social practices"[13] reflects the understanding that individuals' reading and writing practices develop and change over the lifespan[14] as their cultural, political, and historical contexts change

      This part of the article states that we are constantly changing even when learning. This shows that we have the ability to gain more knowledge while also developing in other areas as well

    4. Origins of the alphabet

      The idea that something we know so wel, and don't have to think about anymore has orgins amazes me. This sounds so silly but you forget how long people have been writing and talking.

    1. The Quran includes many biblical narratives. Central figures, such as Moses (Musa),[6] Abraham (Ibrahim),[7] Joseph (Yūsuf), Mary (Maryam)[8] and Jesus (Isa), reappear throughout the Quran.

      This is significant because this shows how some religions are interconnected to each other in some type of way. For example there are characters in this religion seen in others like Christianity and Judaism. Also even though there are some of the same characters they have different names. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/127860076909582422/

    2. These include a creation myth and a vision of afterlife, which Islam shares with the other Abrahamic religions, as well as the distinctively Islamic story of the Kaaba.[1]

      This is significant because these religions like Christianity and Judaism, have almost identical ideas about creation. Judaism and Christianity and Judaism also have similar characters with different names. One of the few differences in the myths is the idea that Jesus is God's son, and that Mohammed was the last prophet.

    3. These include a creation myth and a vision of afterlife, which Islam shares with the other Abrahamic religions, as well as the distinctively Islamic story of the Kaaba.

      Islam has command beliefs with other religions like Abrahamic religions. and they believe in the after life like another religions like Christian. and they think when you die you go to a higher place.

    4. Islamic theology gives a more optimistic attitude towards humanity's fall.[clarification needed] Only due to free will, humans are able to produce good. Thus, although Adam's disobedience created evil, only this made it possible to create good[26] The disobediences of Adam and his wife were already forgiven by God during their life

      The Islamic story of the creation of humanity is a lot like the story of creation from the Bible, and is just another example of similarities between religions. The story of the first 'sin', however, is a bit different. According to Islamic mythology, the sins of Adam and his wife were the cause of evil, but also good.

    1. At the beginning the universe was immersed in a beaten and shapeless kind of matter (chaos), sunk in silence. Later there were sounds indicating the movement of particles. With this movement, the light and the lightest particles rose but the particles were not as fast as the light and could not go higher. Thus, the light was at the top of the Universe, and below it, the particles formed first the clouds and then Heaven, which was to be called Takamagahara (高天原, "High Plain of Heaven"). The rest of the particles that had not risen formed a huge mass, dense and dark, to be called Earth.[1]

      According to that religion, the universe was shaped from a germ of life. This is similar to The Big Bang Theory which states that one atom made up everything in the universe.

    2. These five deities, known as Kotoamatsukami, appeared spontaneously, did not have a definite sex, did not have a partner (hitorigami) and went into hiding after their emergence. These gods are not mentioned in the rest of the mythology

      These gods are similar to the lower gods in Greek mythology as in the fact that they sow up once and never again and go into hiding.

    1. Illustrations of P'an-Ku represent him in the company of supernatural animals that symbolize old age or immortality, viz., the tortoise and the crane; sometimes also the dragon, the emblem of power, and the phoenix, the emblem of bliss.

      This is significant because Pangu is said to have been helped by the beasts when he was separating heaven from earth. This shows that Pangu didn't created the world alone. He had help from these 5 beasts.

    1. the gods have decided to send a flood to destroy mankind. Enki, god of the underworld sea of fresh water and equivalent of Babylonian Ea, warns Ziusudra, the ruler of Shuruppak, to build a large boat, though the directions for the boat are also lost.

      This part of the Sumerian creation myth has some similarities with Abrahamic religions. In these religions a prophet Noah was warned by god to save the people with an ark just like Enki warns Shuruppak. This indicates there could have been communication between people of both faiths.

    1. Vacations are often spent with friends or family.[1] Traveling together creates chemistry.

      i chose this sentence because i like to spend time with my family in vacation because its fun and you get to do a-lot more then being alone .

    1. Acting is an activity in which a story is told by means of its enactment by an actor or actress who adopts a character—in theatre, television, film, radio, or any other medium that makes use of the mimetic mode.

      This is significant to know because as an actor you want to know the story so you can tell the story to the people watching. So, going into a career with acting you got to know to become a character. Know the lives they had, know what they been through. This is why this is so helpful.

    2. Acting involves a broad range of skills, including a well-developed imagination, emotional facility, physical expressivity, vocal projection, clarity of speech, and the ability to interpret drama. Acting also demands an ability to employ dialects, accents, improvisation, observation and emulation, mime, and stage combat

      This is great information to have because being able to do a lot of things that you are capable of doing is a great skill to have. I know that acting is good but to know that if you can do other things then just act is awesome.

    3. Many actors train at length in specialist programmes or colleges to develop these skills.

      This is significant to me because going to college is probably the smartest decision for someone like me to do. Being able to gain more knowledge and learning is a great thing to do. So, going to college is amazing.

    4. Some classical forms of acting involve a substantial element of improvised performance. Most notable is its use by the troupes of the commedia dell'arte, a form of masked comedy that originated in Italy.

      This is like the scene in Avengers when Tony Stark was eating blueberry raisins on screen and asked Cap if he wanted some. Improvisation is a great way to act and a great skill.

      https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.marvelfilmguide.com%2Fthe-avengers-2012-complete-annotations%2F3%2F&psig=AOvVaw2n95UYHMDYT62L89mY6nyz&ust=1597942490577000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCPD6nvjdp-sCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD

    1. Professional basketball has the advantages of much smaller rosters than other professional sports, allowing the sport to be viable in smaller cities than other sports.

      The way I would satisfy this statement would be to tell the people about the income the sport brings for its advantages. Not just telling people that this is a smaller sport than others. There is more advantages to basketball than this statement says.

    1. [edit] Bachelor's and master's degrees in sport management are offered by many colleges and universities.[1][2][3][4] A number of classes outside sport management may be relevant to the field, including; classes in management, marketing, business administration, economics, and accounting. Internships may also open opportunities within the field.

      This really significant because for me I didn't know that sports management had a lot more to do than getting proper coaches, trainers, and make sells over the players. But now seeing this a great career can be made from this. This is why this information is significant to me.

    2. professional sports, college sports managers, recreational sport managers,

      This is significant to me to know because I didn't know that other than college and professional sports other industries pay for managements too. So, knowing that makes finding a job to do with sports doesn't always have to be professional.

    1. It has undergone dramatic changes in the first decades of the 21st century.

      Knowing this is very significant because this can happen anytime. So, this is significant to me because if something doesn't work then maybe seeing what people like around the time can help you.

    2. The music industry is a complex system of many different organizations, firms and individuals. It has undergone dramatic changes in the first decades of the 21st century. However, the majority of the participants in the music industry still fulfill their traditional roles, which are described below.[37] There are three types of property that are created and sold by the recording industry: compositions (songs, pieces, lyrics), recordings (audio and video) and media (such as CDs or MP3s, and DVDs). There may be many recordings of a single composition and a single recording will typically be distributed via many media. For example, the song "My Way" is owned by its composers, Paul Anka and Claude François, Frank Sinatra's recording of "My Way" is owned by Capitol Records, Sid Vicious's recording of "My Way" is owned by Virgin Records, and the millions of CDs and vinyl records that can play these recordings are owned by millions of individual consumers.

      The way I would have stated this statement about the business structure is how much the income is. Not only the income but the way it can lead you. I would have also put the advantages and disadvantages in here too.

    1. A set is a gathering together into a whole of definite, distinct objects of our perception [Anschauung] or of our thought—which are called elements of the set.

      So fundamental!

    1. The word "frequentist" is especially tricky. To philosophers it refers to a particular theory of physical probability, one that has more or less been abandoned. To scientists, on the other hand, "frequentist probability" is just another name for physical (or objective) probability. Those who promote Bayesian inference view "frequentist statistics" as an approach to statistical inference that recognises only physical probabilities.

      name calling between the different camps

    1. The field draws on theories and methods including graph theory from mathematics

      Graph theory is the (visually depicted version of) the mathematics of networks

    1. used to model pairwise relations between objects

      Even though it looks spatial, it is really about pairwise relations. We use our eyes and visual brain to gain special insights to what might merely be lists, or sparse matrices.

    1. Ainu mythology divides time into three tenses: "Mosir sikah ohta" ("when the universe was born"), "mosir noskekehe" ("centre of the world"), and "mosir kes" ("end of the world" , from which there no detailled concepts known from Ainu mythology)[2]

      This is significant because it kinda goes along to one of our 5 questions we did before,"what happens after we pass away."The group mosir kes is the group that got divided into that category. :origin()/pre09/3205/th/pre/i/2005/141/8/2/in_der_welt_sehe_ich_by_disposablet33n.jpg)

    1. The highly regimented seven-day narrative of Genesis 1 features an omnipotent God who creates a god-like humanity, while the one-day creation of Genesis 2 uses a simple linear narrative, a God who can fail as well as succeed, and a humanity which is not god-like but is punished for acts which would lead to their becoming god-like.[15] Even the order and method of creation differs.[15] "Together, this combination of parallel character and contrasting profile point to the different origin of materials in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, however elegantly they have now been combined."[16]

      Genesis chapter 2 supplies details not furnished in the broad outline found in Genesis chapter 1. It is doubtful that a writer or historian would come up with disconnected narratives and that a nation would accept them as a history of its people. Genesis is the only source that provides us with history, genealogy, and chronology. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/221731981642823313/

    2. On the side of contrasts, Genesis 1 is monotheistic, it makes no attempt to account for the origins of God,

      This is relevant because most religions tell the story of how earth and its inhabitants were created, but very few attempt to explain the creation of the God/Gods that created us. Is this because most believe that God has simply always existed, or because we just dont have any ideas as to how these creators were created? Or maybe there's another explanation as to why this is never brought up?

    3. God's first act was the creation of undifferentiated light; dark and light were then separated into night and day, their order (evening before morning) signifying that this was the liturgical day; and then the Sun, Moon and stars were created to mark the proper times for the festivals of the week and year. Only when this is done does God create man and woman and the means to sustain them (plants and animals).

      When we think about God it shows how important he is to us because God created us and many things.<br>

    4. In the second story, God, now referred to by the personal name Yahweh, creates Adam, the first man, from dust and places him in the Garden of Eden, where he is given dominion over the animals. Eve, the first woman, is created from Adam and as his companion.

      When we look at this we think of the one big question which is how did we get here. In the sentence it says that god created the first dust man.

    5. In the second story, God, now referred to by the personal name Yahweh, creates Adam, the first man, from dust and places him in the Garden of Eden, where he is given dominion over the animals. Eve, the first woman, is created from Adam and as his companion.

      this is significant to me because it ties in with one of my big questions which is how did we get here.This kind of answers it.In this sentence it says that god created the first man from dust.

    6. "And the earth was formless and void..." The phrase "formless and void" is a translation of the Hebrew tohu wa-bohu, (Hebrew: תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ‎), chaos,

      **This is important because it lets us know that was a line when there was nothing . There was a beginning that took chaos and made it into something. It lets us know that form and order took place after there was chaos.

    7. The Earth itself was a flat disc, surrounded by mountains or sea. Above it was the firmament, a transparent but solid dome resting on the mountains, allowing men to see the blue of the waters above, with "windows" to allow the rain to enter, and containing the Sun, Moon and stars. The waters extended below the Earth, which rested on pillars sunk in the waters, and in the underworld was Sheol, the abode of the dead.[37]

      This is saying that in the beginning the world was flat with windows and surrounded by mountains to keep it all in, this is close to how people thought it worked back then when everyone thought the earth was not round but flat.

    8. The highly regimented seven-day narrative of Genesis 1 features an omnipotent God who creates a god-like humanity, while the one-day creation of Genesis 2 uses a simple linear narrative, a God who can fail as well as succeed, and a humanity which is not god-like but is punished for acts which would lead to their becoming god-like.[15] Even the order and method of creation differs.[15] "Together, this combination of parallel character and contrasting profile point to the different origin of materials in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, however elegantly they have now been combined."[16]

      This is quite significant because churches do not always emphasize the real differences between Genesis 1 and 2. Careful reading shows they ARE different. What could this mean?

    1. This epic is one of the most important sources revealing the Babylonian worldview. Over the seven tablets, it describes the creation of the world, a battle between gods focused on the supremacy of Marduk

      I found this interesting because it talks about how there are seven tablets with old writing and they were discovered. The writing is about the creation of the world.

    2. It was recovered by English archaeologist Austen Henry Layard in 1849 (in fragmentary form) in the ruined Library of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh (Mosul, Iraq).

      Found this interesting because I didn't know that a myths like this could be recovered because i thought that they were mainly spoken back then not written.

    3. The Enûma Eliš is the primary source for Mesopotamian cosmology.[42] According to Heidel its main purpose was as a praise of Marduk, and was important in making that Babylonian god head of the entire pantheon, through his deeds in defeating Tiamat, and in creation of the universe.

      this is significant ![because it ties in with one of my big questions.Which is what is the purpose of life because his purpose of life was to create Babylonian head.

    1. In all of these myths, the world was said to have emerged from an infinite, lifeless sea when the sun rose for the first time, in a distant period known as zp tpj (sometimes transcribed as Zep Tepi), "the first occasion"

      This quote can answer the question how the world started. In this myth, the world didn't start by a person, but by the sea. It also let's us know that there was a time when the sun didn't rise.

    2. Ancient Egyptian creation myths are the ancient Egyptian accounts of the creation of the world. The Pyramid Texts, tomb wall decorations and writings, dating back to the Old Kingdom (2780–2250 BC) have given us most of our information regarding early Egyptian creation myths.

      A lot of there writing gave us information about them. Also it gives us information about many of there myths which where written on the tomb walls and the writing is called pyramid text. And how they think the world came to be created.

    3. Ancient Egyptian creation myths are the ancient Egyptian accounts of the creation of the world. The Pyramid Texts, tomb wall decorations and writings, dating back to the Old Kingdom (2780–2250 BC) have given us most of our information regarding early Egyptian creation myths.

      Most of the Ancient Egyptian myths have been created on the first hand accounts of Egyptian people in between 2780 and 2250 BC. These accords were recorded using tomb writing and decorations like paintings and artifacts. Most of these relics were found in tombs so I presume that people either stole or took from these tombs to gain information regarding early Egyptian life.

    1. emergence occurs when an entity is observed to have properties its parts do not have on their own.

      Emergence occurs when an entity has properties that do not apply to itself. Emergence means that things are extorted and different from its original state of being. I presume that it is similar in concept to being in another reality or universe. If that is what emergence is, how do you enter into an emergence state?

    1. The story opens with a location "the hill of heaven and earth" which is discussed by Chiera as "not a poetical name for the earth, but the dwelling place of the gods, situated at the point where the heavens rest upon the earth. I

      Chiera discussed that "the hill of heaven and earth" is not a poetical name for the earth, but the dwelling place of the gods, situated at the point where the heavens rest upon the earth. Does this statement mean that the hill is in both, heaven and on earth because the location of the scene is contradicting. it first states, the hill is a part of heaven and earth but then says but it is located on the point where heaven meets the earth which is a part of heaven.

    1. Like other figures foun

      The Divine Twins served as rescuers and healers to people in proto-indo-european times. The twins were not spoken about in the earth or written materials but in the sky. The people must have only constructed the Divine Twins though stories and speech because how would these characters be kept alive if there was no written or physical evidence of them.

    1. According to Jain doctrine, the universe and its constituents—soul, matter, space, time, and principles of motion—have always existed. Jainism does not support belief in a creator deity. All the constituents and actions are governed by universal natural laws. It is not possible to create matter out of nothing and hence the sum total of matter in the universe remains the same (similar to law of conservation of mass). Jain text claims that the universe consists of jiva (life force or souls) and ajiva (lifeless objects). The soul of each living being is unique and uncreated and has existed during beginningless time

      This is different than most other origin stories because most religions have some story explaining how their God/Gods created the world. In Jainism, however, it is said that the universe has simply always existed, and even an entity like God can't create a whole universe. Because of the focus on karmas, Jainism and Hinduism have some similarities.

    1. A group of spiritual beings are spoken about as Little People and they can only be seen by humans when they want to be seen. It is said that they choose who they present themselves to and appear as any other Cherokee would, except that they are small with very long hair.[20] The Little People can be helpful but one should be cautious while interacting with them because they can be very deceptive

      This sounds a lot like the concept of spirit guides, except spirit guides tend to be portrayed as animals. This shows that its very common to find similarities between different religions/cultures.

    1. According to Hindu [[]] all species on earth including humans have "devolved" or come down from a high state of pure consciousness. Hindu creationists claim that species of plants and animals are material forms adopted by pure consciousness which live an endless cycle of births and rebirths

      This idea of being born and reborn is known as reincarnation. I think its really interesting that, according to the Hindu religion, even if you're a human, you can be reborn as a different life form, such as an animal. Your soul is what's important, not your material body.

    2. The Hindu dharma believes that the gods have animal features, showing a theory that humans can be reborn again as animals or with their features.

      This specific sentence reminds of the word called reincarnation because the word means rebirth and this relates to hinduism believing in reincarnation.

    1. Following a long struggle, the flames consumed much of the water, exposing dry land. Then Buga created the light and ,separated it from darkness, and descended to the newly created land, where he confronted Buninka, the devil, and a dispute arose between them over who had created the world.

      How did we get here is the question that goes with this. The creator of us tells us how darkness was created and how the world came together because two people were fighting.

      This ties in with my big question of how did we get here.Because its telling us how darkness was created and how the world came to be because two people were fighting.

    1. Jamshid was said to have had a magical seven-ringed cup, the Jām-e Jam which was filled with the elixir of immortality and allowed him to observe the universe.

      This quote could answer to how we got here and how we were made. It says that the creator drank something that allowed him to do something to created us and the world.

    2. magical seven-ringed cup, the Jām-e Jam which was filled with the elixir of immortality and allowed him to observe the universe.

      The is quote could answer the question of how we got here. It seems to say that the creator drank a drink that allowed him me but i guess it could it could answer the question

    1. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question, "What is the meaning of my life?"

      The meaning of life i to live it to the fullest and hoping to have no regrets.

    2. What is the purpose of life? What is the purpose of one's life?

      Will I am muslim. Allah created us in order to worship him. To knowledge in order to understand our status in life. this is my purpose of my life :)

    3. The meaning of life as we perceive it is derived from philosophical and religious contemplation of, and scientific inquiries about existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness.

      I believe that the meaning of life is to test a soul to see where you go to heaven or to hell, and to get a spiritual enlightenment

    4. Many other related questions include: "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?", or "What is the purpose of existence?"

      "Why are we here?" Because God created us for his use no matter what we think.

    1. The first attempt was man made from mud, but Tepeu and Kukulkán found that the mud crumbled.

      This is significant because although, in mayan myth, the mud men crumbled, in abrahamic religions, they survived to become human beings. In islam, Adam, the first man, was made from mud and he lived. The same is said in christianity which also says that we are all his descendants.

    1. is dominions in Europe included the Holy Roman Empire, extending from Germany to northern Italy with direct rule over the Austrian hereditary lands and the Burgundian Low Countries, and a unified Spain with its southern Italian kingdoms of Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia.

      The Sheer Extent of Hapsburg rule in Europe in this period was almost inconceivable in scale today. The New World was discovered and plundered while Charles and his empire grew to the extreme heights dictated in the excerpt. He controlled an empire larger than his distant ancestor, Charlemagne, who was seen as the successor to the Western Roman Empire, and he styled his court as such. The fact that I hadn't heard of this empire for most of my life shocked me and its what got me into learning about World History. I want to teach other people of the amazing accomplishments people have made all over the world, not the Americanized version of history we all learn in school.

    1. The last words of the Buddha were "Strive on with diligence." Diligence is an integral part of all Buddhist teaching, and is considered the fourth of the pāramitā

      being Buddhist and growing up learning the teaching of Buddhism, i can understand hat this saying is portraying. working with diligence leads a path to "perfection" or nirvana.

    1. The first veterinary college was founded in Lyon, France in 1762 by Claude Bourgelat.[5] According to Lupton, after observing the devastation being caused by cattle plague to the French herds, Bourgelat devoted his time to seeking out a remedy.

      It is interesting to discover the history of veterinarian practices and the person who chose to devote their time to finding a cure for animals. This reminded me of the song "the light is coming" by Ariana Grande because in her song she explains how light comes to shine dark times. it makes me think that the founder was a light to animals.

    1. In 1960, the CGPM launched the International System of Units (in French the Système international d'unités or SI) which had six "base units": the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, degree Kelvin (subsequently renamed the "kelvin") and candela

    1. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK), since 1922 comprises four countries: England, Scotland, and Wales (which collectively make up Great Britain) and Northern Ireland[1][2] (which is variously described as a country, province, or region).

      A country that contains 4 countries. It's almost a paradox. It never ceases to amuse me.

    1. Love encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection and to the simplest pleasure.[1][2] An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of a spouse, which differs from the love of food. Most commonly, love refers to a feeling of strong attraction and emotional attachment.[3]

      i fully agree

    1. Where these systems most notably differ is in their units of volume. A US fluid ounce (fl oz), about 29.6 millilitres (ml), is slightly larger than the imperial fluid ounce (about 28.4 ml). However, as there are 16 US fl oz to a US pint and 20 imp fl oz per imperial pint, the imperial pint is about 20% larger. The same is true of quarts, gallons, etc.; six US gallons are a little less than five imperial gallons.
    1. On land, the league is most commonly defined as three miles, though the length of a mile could vary from place to place and depending on the era. At sea, a league is three nautical miles (3.452 miles; 5.556 kilometres).

    1. Paul Gilroy

      Gilroy is a UK-born Black scholar and this concept has been highly influential. For our purposes, it is especially significant because it encourages us to see African Diasporic history and identity, not as land-mass-based (e.g., "continents"), but much more as a product of coastal and trans-Atlantic travel and exchange. African Diasporic identity happening precisely because Atlantic coasts and shipping lanes made the Diaspora physically possible (if very painful)

      Legionnaires disease is often asymptomatic or sub clinical so this is not the infection fatality rate.

    1. The mycorrhizal mutualistic association provides the fungus with relatively constant and direct access to carbohydrates, such as glucose and sucrose.[29] The carbohydrates are translocated from their source (usually leaves) to root tissue and on to the plant's fungal partners. In return, the plant gains the benefits of the mycelium's higher absorptive capacity for water and mineral nutrients, partly because of the large surface area of fungal hyphae, which are much longer and finer than plant root hairs, and partly because some such fungi can mobilize soil minerals unavailable to the plants' roots. The effect is thus to improve the plant's mineral absorption capabilities.[30]

      There is a kind of exchange of nutrients between the symbiotic species.

It was created out of the parish of St. Mary's Church, Nottingham. The architects were George Gilbert Scott and William Bonython Moffatt.[1] The Church Building Commission gave a grant of £800 towards the cost of its construction.[2] The church was dedicated by Rt. Revd. John Kaye, Bishop of Lincoln on 5 November 1844.[3] It had seating for 800 people and cost £4,400. (equivalent to £443,290 in 2019),[4]

    1. Standing on the shoulders of giants From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Stylistic device to acknowledge previous discoveries For the Oasis album, see Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. For the Tribe of Gypsies album, see Standing on the Shoulders of Giants (Tribe of Gypsies album). For Stephen Hawking's book, see On the Shoulders of Giants (book). This picture is derived from Greek mythology: the blind giant Orion carried his servant Cedalion on his shoulders to act as the giant's eyes. Standing on the shoulders of giants is a metaphor which means "Using the understanding gained by major thinkers who have gone before in order to make intellectual progress".[1] It is a metaphor of dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants (Latin: nanos gigantum humeris insidentes) and expresses the meaning of "discovering truth by building on previous discoveries".[2] This concept has been traced to the 12th century, attributed to Bernard of Chartres. Its most familiar expression in English is by Isaac Newton in 1675: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."[3]
