Berkeley
Number of words: 2565 | Number of pages: 10.... believed that material substance did
not exist is George Berkeley. In truth, it is the immaterialist position that
seems the most logical when placed under close scrutiny.
The initial groundwork for Berkeley's position is the truism that the
materialist is a skeptic. In the writing of his three dialogues, Berkeley
develops two characters: Hylas (the materialist) and Philonous (Berkeley
himself). Philonous draws upon one central supposition of the materialist to

Number of words: 586 | Number of pages: 3.... (Elbow 62). Because I am not one to write in a journal everyday, I cannot personally agree or disagree with his comment. I do believe that the more you write, the better you become. I do see that people who write often also do better in their English classes. Elbow also says, “The main thing is that a freewriting must never be evaluated in any way; in fact there must be no discussion at all” (Elbow 63). I don’t agree with him. The only way for someone to improve his or her writing is if a peer reads over it and explains what could be done to improve it.

It’s hard to believe why kids don’t want to be like umpires. It’s probably because all the kids don’t want to work that hectic of a schedule. Another good thing about being an umpire is that whenever you have a problem with the owners of baseball teams, you can always tell your union about it and then you can threaten the owners by saying you are resigning. When they hear the sound of that, they will do what ever you say; just look at what they did when the players’ union had some trouble. .....

Omnipotence And St. Thomas Aquinas
Number of words: 421 | Number of pages: 2.... He explains that god is able to all things
which are "possible absolutely", which he defines as all things which can be
logically expressed without the predicate being in conflict with the subject -
i.e. god is capable of all things which do not involve a contradiction in terms.
This does not imply any defect in the power of god, Aquinas goes on to say,

moreover, it is absurd to expect divine omnipotence to encompass the logically
impossible.
(I) Aquinas answers the first objection as follows. He explains that
"...to sin is to fall short of perfe .....
