Week Three/ Philosophy Videos

I found the videos from this week to be a direct attack on theology (mostly Christianity). The video “Truth Lies” said that to have belief in God means you are unable to carry on speaking. Darwinism is the best defense scientist use to refute creation. Didn’t Darwin himself say that his ideas were just theories and that he was wrong? Just because we can’t prove creation besides what is written in the bible doesn’t mean we aren’t good enough to be included in these philosophical debates.

I can agree with the “Survival of the Sufficient” video that everything around us molds us into who we are. Life experience has proved that time and time again. I think more than our parents, teachers and preachers have a big role in molding us. The video did state our environment plays a role too but found that to be a little lacking in the full truth. The books, magazines, music, movies, television, commercials, billboards, ads, newspapers and other forms of entertainment also play a large role. In essence I guess you could say that everything we come into contact with from the time we are born to the time that we die we are being constantly changed. I look at this change as adaptation to our environment and not as evolving.
