God is that being that is absolutely perfect and no one more perfect exists. {No one more perfect than God can exist} (Descarte ... God exists, his existence is logically necessary considering he is “all knowing, all powerful, and all good.” {Since he is all knowing, all powerful, and all good he must exist because his powers are unlimited} (Malcolm) 3. Therefore the possibility of conceiving a being than which nothing greater can be conceived entails the logical necessity of the real existence of such a being. (Anselm) 4. Therefore to say that God does not exist is to contradict oneself. (Malcolm and Descarte) 5. The concept of God though, is not self contradictory, therefore Gods existence is logically true. (Malcolm) 6. In conclusion God DOES exist. The objection to this argument can be that existence ...

- ... enemy had a chance to strike at him. He ordered the deaths of Macduff and his family (Act 4, Scene 2). Fortunately, Macduff escaped to England where he combined forces with King Duncan's son, Malcolm, and proposed retaking the throne of Scotland. The slayings of Macduff's family is a subsequent event that followed the death of Banquo and is a distant but close consequential result of Macbeth killing King Duncan.

Malcolm's army camouflaged themselves in branches and leaves thus fulfilling the prophecy of "Great Birnam woods moving to Dunsinane." When Macbeth and Macduff engaged in a mono to mono duel, Macduff said, "Tell thee, ...

- 247: Rene Descartes
- ... him that he could describe the fly's position at any instant by just three numbers. Those three numbers were along the planes of the floor and two adjacent walls, what we now call the x,y,z coordinate system. Most cities today are laid out in Cartesian fashion, so we give directions as x,y coordinates easily and without realizing it.

The Cartesian coordinate system is made up of two number lines, one usually labeled the x-axis which runs horizontally, the other usually labeled the y-axis which runs vertically. The axes meet where they both are zero, we call this point the origin. When working with equations (or inequalities) ...

- ... and that. Until one day I saw that we were nothing but brand names and things that were so miniscule that we didn t see that the grown-ups were right in labeling us generation-X. We are the generation of brand names and advertisements. These clothes, with brand names spread all over them were what was normal so everyone had to have it. If you don t have Tommy or ... I was younger I was told that everything would be decided for me, but a little later in life you would be free to make your own decisions. I believed that. But now we generation-X aren t free to make decisions because we have our friends and the clothes company tells us what we want to be normal. I was told last year by someone what I need to be ... sorry if I did offend you, and I wish I hadn t but I spoke the truth I believe in and nothing can change that.
