Christian humanism, is a philosophical union of Christian and humanist principles, and like much humanism often refers to a commonality among all humanity as its basic ethos. Christian humanism has been traced back to at least the 12th century, and its proponents claim it to be grounded in the mystery of God as present in history as a human being, Jesus, and secondly, on several teachings of Jesus, as found in the New Testament. It does not elevate ordinary human beings to the status of deities, nor does it deny the primacy of God, but rather it seeks to celebrate humanity and place the serving of one's fe ...

These differences can be in the individual noises produced, ...

Humanity: Encyclopedia - Bacteria in the human body

The human body contains a large number of bacteria, most of them performing tasks that are useful or even essential to human survival. Those that are expected to be present, and that under normal circumstances do not cause disease, are termed normal flora. It is estimated that 500 to 1000 different species of bacteria live in the human body (Sears, 2005).

Humanity: Encyclopedia - Secular humanism

Secular humanism is that branch of philosophy that advocates the use of reason, compassion, scientific inquiry, ethics, justice and a presumption of equality within a worldview centered upon human beings. The term was originally coined in the 20th century to make a clear distinction from "Christian humanism". A perhaps less confrontational synonym is scientific humanism, which the biologist Edward O. Wilson termed "the only world-view compatible with science's growing knowledge of the real world and the laws of nature". ^Including:

Humanity: Encyclopedia - Alphabet of human thought

The idea of an alphabet of human thought originates in the 17th century, when proposals were first made for a universal language. René Descartes suggested that the lexicon of a universal language should be composed of primitive elements. By systematically combining these, one could generate "an infinity of different words." In the early 18th century, Gottfried Leibniz outlined a language in which grammatical and logical structure would coincide, thus making possible the automation of thinking. The basic elements of his ideal l ...
