Persuasive Speech By Dr. Kabamba

1587 Words7 Pages

Dr. Kabamba has asked us a few times in class that if he were a serial killer and told us that God didn’t exist would we believe him. He went on to explain that for those of us who do believe in God we still would. In today’s world, religion is something we all view differently. Even if you belong to the same religion as the person sitting next to you, there are parts of it that you see differently than them. You will see a certain part of religion most important such as prayer, when they would say baptism is the most important. Even though we are all religious in our own ways, I would like to discuss today why science alone can’t keep us going. That religion affects us more than we realize, and that it is more powerful than science. However, …show more content…

He said that he would believe in God if his prayer was answered. He said a prayer out loud right there saying that he wanted two beautiful women wearing green to walk by in the next ten minutes. He set a time on his phone and we waited there, not many people were passing by. Finally, eight minutes went by and two beautiful women dressed in bright green workout clothes walked by. A person could pray one time, receive an answer and think to themselves that it was only coincidence, such as that man. If you start to pray more continually and see answers, it becomes harder for you to say that it was only luck. It is times like that where people start to wonder if there really is a higher …show more content…

I want to talk about life events that we may not realize how much of an influence our religious views had on it. We all know that a religious person prays to God to receive answers to prayers. This semester it seems that in a lot of my classes we have talked a lot about sexuality. We always mention how our culture effects how we view sexuality. Since many of us grew up in Utah County we might view sex differently than someone living in Argentina. The reason being, is because of the large amount of Latter Day Saints. Sometimes talking about sex can be something people are ashamed of, or even saying certain body parts. When it is not something we should be ashamed of. It is something that should be discussed. Even if you are religious and feel to wait until marriage to be intimate with your partner, you should still understand

  • Comparing Einstein's Letter To Phyllis Wright

    253 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his letter answering sixth-grade student Phyllis Wright’s question of whether scientists pray, Albert Einstein employs purposeful logos and diction to successfully distinguish the religiosity of true scientists from that others. Einstein logically builds his distinction by asserting that “a research scientist will hardly believe ... [in] prayer” and subsequently revealing that experienced scientists nevertheless develop a religious devotion towards “a spirit vastly superior to that of man.” This explicit presentation of the similarities and differences makes it clear how the scientists’ concepts of piety differ from conventional beliefs. Henceforth, Wright would conceptualize Einstein’s beliefs as a variation from the beliefs she is familiar

  • How Did Owen Irving Use Miracles In The Production And Destruction Of Faith

    998 Words  | 4 Pages

    Miracles in the Production and Destruction of Faith In basic religion classes, students are told that as Catholics, they need to have a faith in God and that their faith may not seem reasonable at times. As the students get older, they are told that in order to strengthen their faith, doubts, and working through these doubts, are an expected part of their lives while miracles may strengthen their growing beliefs. To further complicate the matter, students are taught that too many doubts can bring about a loss of faith, as can doubts from these same miracles. In John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany, Irving discusses this balance between healthy doubts bringing about faith and too many doubts eroding faith.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Letter To A Sixth Grade Student By Albert Einstein

    205 Words  | 1 Pages

    In Albert Einstein’s letter to a sixth-grade student, Phyllis Wright, Einstein provides a rhetorically ineffective response about the role of religion in a scientist’s life by misusing specific diction and appealing to ethos. Einstein uses words like “supernatural” and “fragmentary” to describe his religious beliefs; although he understands his audience is young, he is unable to conform his diction to suit the audience’s needs. The grandiose language Einstein uses could be too complicated for Wright. Through the confusion this causes, Wright could miss the candid response Einstein is attempting to provide. In addition, Einstein attempts to appeal to ethos , but dreadfully fails.

  • Kansas Persuasive Speech

    363 Words  | 2 Pages

    I am writing on behalf of the 8th Grade Class at Monticello Trails Middle School to persuade you to publish a book for Kansas. Kansas would like a book because 46 out of 50 states do not have a Goodnight Series book and Kansas is one of those 4 states that do not. I believe that Kansas deserves to be included in the Goodnight Series because many people believe that Kansas is a boring state but there are many things that other states do not have that are in Kansas. Kansas has so much to offer to the Goodnight Series because Kansas is home to some of the most iconic things. Kansas is the soccer capital of the United States where men and women play soccer on the Sporting KC team and some on the USA team.

    My family is good friends with a man in India, Nashod, who, though his experiences were very different, was also chased by Jesus and hounded by Him throughout his entire life. This man experienced miracles, visions, and strange coincidences multiple times, and they eventually led him to my father, who could explain the Christian faith to him. Uncle Nashod’s story, as well as other miracles my family has experienced, has strengthened my faith whenever I experience a moment of doubt. Not only do they prove to me that the Lord is living and active, they also are a reminder that, though he is all powerful and greater than we can imagine, He is also has love for us that is greater than we can dream.

I think science and religion are both very important to the way of life and how we see the entire universe. But I believe religion is more believable than science. For science can be proven wrong at any given time and religion can never be stated untrue. Such as the story of creation, evolution, practices and beliefs can contradict these theories.
