  • 1.  Real-world situations and real-world contexts enable real-world learning. 2.  Learning occurs when learners take ownership of their learning. 3.  Everyone is a teacher; everyone is a learner, all of the time.  4.  A learning environment is composed of its community members, cultural values, and physical surroundings. 5.  Improvement of the organization requires consciously collaborative participation by community members.​

  • Some of the classic arguments for God’s existence have been largely abandoned, others have been refined, and new arguments or points about arguments do regularly appear.
  • The ontological argument, for instance, purports to prove the existence of a perfect being; the cosmological argument purports to prove the existence of a necessary or eternal Creator; the teleological argument purports to prove the existence of a Creator concerned with humanity.
  • If God exists then we also have an incentive, not to mention a moral duty, to fulfil this purpose; our eternal fate hangs on whether we follow God, as we were created to, or rebel against his authority.
