2012-01-25T18:36:00.006+08:00

Plato: For the greater good. Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability. Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's

Who Is That God That You Pray To?

2012-01-19T12:28:00.007+08:00

[BY: ZANI PACANZA] As far as I remember, I have been taught to pray the minute I started learning the alphabet. I grew up in a very Catholic home. We have an altar and Bible at the living room.

Anaximenes

2012-01-18T19:37:00.002+08:00

According to the surviving sources on his life, Anaximenes flourished in the mid 6th century BCE and died around 528. He is the third philosopher of the Milesian School of philosophy, so named because like Thales and Anaximander, Anaximenes was an inhabitant of Miletus, in Ionia (ancient Greece). Theophrastus notes that Anaximenes was an associate, and possibly a student, of Anaximander’s.

Stephen Hawking once again challenges the proponents of divine creation of the universe in his latest book, “The Grand Design”. He is convinced that it is the laws of physics that can provide us the real explanation about how existence began. The Big Bang Theory was the bedrock of his conviction that he continually argues that the event was the inevitable consequence of the said laws: “because
