10/10/19

Aim: How does the Greek mythological story of creation highlight the troubles between the family structure, the sexes, the struggles for dominance and control, and the child paying for the sins of the parents?

“First there was Chaos, the vast immeasurable abyss, Outrageous as a sea, dark, wasteful, wild.” ~ John Milton

Observing the diction and mood of Milton’s quote, how does this create perspective on the origins of the Universe.

Darkness and chaos exist and that in turn brings light and creation. Chaos is nothingness because something that is disordered can be fixed, we can’t comprehend nothingness. When the universe was created, it was created from nothing, something we can’t comprehend.

The article was about the origins of the universe. If we're saying that chaos is nothingness, then before the big bang there was nothing, chaos.

The Greeks are trying to give an explanation, science adds on. Science it started from an atom. Both are right.

Science has some answers but Greeks explain the missing elements.

All wars are over religion, all of them are right/wrong but all the theories start from nothing. They're all related. Every person from every single period of time, all said the universe came from nothing. We bond over nothing.

Children will always pay for the signs of their parents. When we're born we can't control it. We all pay for Adam and Eve’s original sin.

Student Reflection

From this lesson I learned about the beginning / creation of everything. Scientifically the Big Bang Theory is the way we justify creation and what we believe. But the thing is that it, along with all other theories store with one singular idea -  the fact that everything started from nothing. People are uncomfortable with not knowing the answer to something, which is the reason why we create all these theories. Some have come to be more believable than others and those are the myths we believe as times goes on.
