History #2

There are several ways to which we can establish the New Testament as factual. First of all the number of historical copies is incredibly high, and also history supports it geographically. Although we cannot prove the miracles happened we can prove that people and places in the New Testament did indeed exist and are completely factual. There have been countless attempts throughout history to de legitimize the New Testament and they have all been proven false. Although you cannot argue miracles and that is a thing of faith, we can prove the historical and geographical truth of the bible, and also the fact that it has more than likely been translated near perfectly due to the number of copies attained.

History 1

The fact that history can be a little bit subjective is true. There will always be two different sides on recording much of history, but this does not make it any less true it just shows the differing perspective on the events in history. It often actually gives us more context into the thinking and culture of the time when it captures the emotion and perspective of the victor. But the fact is that history is taken down by so many people and passed down in so many different ways that you cannot discredit major events in history. Yes throughout time some events have been poorely translated but you cannot discredit all of history when for the most part events have been observed by many people. The idea that history has just been recorded by the winners is very false, it has been written down by the winners and losers, and they both will have biases but this does not make it false, just shows different perspectives. And therefore history should not be discredited and is still clearly vital to society and education.

Socialism not working

There are several reasons why socialism is very in effective. First of all socialism would implicate that everyone would make the same amount of money and own the same amount of property, this is ridiculous because there are skill jobs and people would not want to take 8 years to become a doctor if you make as much as a janitor. Also there would be a loss of pride in your craft, because the laziest and and the hardest working person would make the same amount of money with no reward for hard work. The other problem with socialism is it grants the government to much power and as long as human greed exists than there will always be those in power searching for greater power and wealth than the others. It would take a perfect government system and ruler for this to work and it is completely impossible for this to happen.
