SUMMARY OF TIME

SUMMARY OF TIME
            The features of time in relation to motion is to consider this position that if motion is either slow or fast then time is measure with what is either slow or fast which implies that time is not independent of motion, but it is not motion. On the contrary, time is not considered to be slow or fast because fast and slow is used for things that can be counted within a speculation of time which is contrasts to time being a constant motion. Nevertheless time as a continuum can only be said to be long or short, time also as a number is said to be much or little.           About the non-existence of time it is argued that future, present and past which constitute time do not exist. And also if time is considered to be continuous then “now” must last long because it is a demarcation of time. In affirmation of its existence time is a number of motions because it creates demarcation between the activities of motion “before and after”
Time is the same everywhere because time accompanies motion each time both when it is in actuality and potentiality. Motion is being measured by time both in its duration and being, time per se can be corruptive and per accidents be generative. A thing that is determined by time is prone to destruction but things that is not determined and exist outside time has its full existence, example are spiritual beings, but it does not apply to heavenly bodies.
The following ways are use in calculating motion
        i.            The twenty eight orbital movement of the moon around the earth.
      ii.            Time is also calculated in daily revolution of the earth in its axis.
    iii.            Time is calculated in regards to comic motions.
    iv.            It is also calculate in the annual orbital movement of the earth around the sun.
The following ways above shows that time is continuous it does not stop.
            What exist throughout in time as the same is "NOW", it is a being abstracted from before and after, which implies that now is of the same nature with time and time is made known from the now. Now is indivisible like a unit it takes more than one now to have time. The motion from one now to another brings about time as it relates to before and after, now can also be used to point to time in the “present” sense, example He came now and come here now.

SUMMARY OF PROVIDENTISSIMUS DEUS, ENCYCLICAL LETTER OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE STUDY OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURE.      God has elevated man, freed him of guilt and ruin, restored him to his initial dignity and has made known to him the mystery of his divinity.      He revealed himself through the inspiration of the holyspirit to man. This supernatural revelation, the church believe, is contained in both written tradition and written books which is called sacred and canonical. God himself is the author of the sacred book, he composed the book; the words of the book are his words.      Priests are encouraged to read this sacred book, meditate over it, ponder on it and explain it to the people.

summary and appraisal of chapters one, two and three of the book The African Origin of Greek Philosophy: An Exercise in Afrocentrism, by Innocent C. Onyewuenyi.

Introduction Can Africans philosophize? Is there such a thing as African philosophy? What contribution has Africans made on the world’s civilization and on the discipline of philosophy? These and a plethora of questions are seeking answers in today’s modern world. Africa is being conceived by the world as savages, primitive, her people as those that reside in the Dark Continent who are intellectually inferior. Thus, Africans have not contributed anything to the discipline of philosophy. Hence, this work by Innocent Onyewuenyi aims at answering these questions and at reinstating the truth that philosophy has its origin in the Egyptian Mystery System. In view of this, it is our aim in this paper to summarize and appraise chapters one, two and three of the book The African Origin of Greek Philosophy: An Exercise in Afrocentrism, by Innocent C. Onyewuenyi. To achieve this, we shall begin with a summary of the three chapters followed by an appraisal. Furthermore, we shall present ...

THE LAST THREE WAYS TO PROVES GOD'S EXISTENCE BY THOMAS AQUINAS

THE LAST THREE WAYS TO PROVES GOD'S EXISTENCE BY THOMAS AQUINAS FROM POSSIBILITY AND NECESSITY ITS ARGUEMENT In nature, we find things that are possible to be and not to be, that come from being and go out of being as contingent beings. Imagine every being is a contingent being, for each contingent being, there come a time it is not in existence, which makes it impossible for these to always be in existence. There could have been a time when nothing existed. At that time there would have been nothing to bring the currently existing contingent beings into existence. So therefore, nothing would be in existence now. We have reached a common sense result from assuming that every being is a contingent being. It implies that not every being is a contingent being, some being exists of its own necessity, and does not receive its existence from another being but rather causes them. This people term it as Supreme Being, God. ARGUMENT FROM DESIGN       ...
