Nevertheless, the pivotal role of choice in Zoroastrianism has been established by Herman Lommel (pp. 156-65) and others, and Ilya Gershevitch has argued effectively for the ethical character of the gathic opposition between the two spirits (1964, pp. 12-14; cf. Gnoli, 1984, p. 118). The most lucid evaluation of dualism as a fundamental element of the Gathas is that of W. B. Henning: "Any claim that the world was created by a good and benevolent god must provoke the question why the world, in the outcome, is so very far from good. Zoroaster's answer, that the world had been created by a good and The following passage from the Gathas ( Y . 30.3-4) is fundamental to understanding Iranian dualism: "The two primeval Spirits (

How Persia Created Judaism Angels: Winged Beings from Back to Table of Contents Page Angels and Monotheism Did Angels Evolve? The Origin of Good and Evil ... Michael and Mithras Angels and Monotheism The word “angel” is the Greek “angelos” meaning a messenger—someone who brings messages from God. The Hebrew is “malak.” The Greeks had Iris, in Homer, who brought messages from Olympus to humanity. The Greeks also had Hermes or Mercury who also was a messenger, the Herald of God. Do Christians accept these as angels? And they had their own name for the lesser spirits that acted as messengers for the gods—daimones. To accept angels is immediately to become polytheistic—an angel is a lesser god! Catholics will deny that angels and demons are gods at all, and presumably that Satan is also not a god, which is all puzzling to we mortals deprived of patriarchal religion. A god is a notional being with divine, that is to say superhuman or supernatural, powers. If angels are not gods why can they do supernatural things? If Satan is not a god like Yehouah, why is he such a trouble to God himself? If God is all powerful, why does he need angels to bring messages to earth on his behalf? If we are to believe all this then God is not all powerful, the Devil is just as powerful and both have armies of lesser gods to fight their cosmic battles and bring messages to earth while they are busy elsewhere.

    http://www.math.sfu.ca/histmath/Europe/Euclid300BC/INDEX.HTML
    
    Extractions: Euclid , author of the most important textbook of all time, and arguably the most influential geometry text to date, the Elements (which has existed in more editions than any other work than the Bible ), flourished around 300 B.C.E. in Alexandria. Invited to open the mathematical school at the Museum and Library at Alexandria, Euclid accepted and compiled several works, some of which are still in circulation today, some of which have long vanished. Many people before Euclid were essential in his collaboration of works and ideas to create the Elements To tell the story of Euclid is in some ways to tell a story of Greek math, thus our exploration begins with Thales of Miletus (624 - 547 B.C.E.), who is the first mathematician mentioned in Eudemus of Rhodes' formal history, written around 320 B.C.E. Pythagoras (572 - 497 B.C.E.), famed for the theorem named after him, of which is probably the most interesting of all ancient mathematicians. His group of disciples, known as the Pythagoreans, believed all is number; number is the substance of all things. Hippocrates of Chios (c. 5th century B.C.E.) was one of the greatest geometers of antquity. He is credited with writing a text which is arguably contained in most of Book I of the

Hellinistic refers to the Greeks and others who lived after Alexander the Great's conquests, during which there existed a mixture of civilizations. Important schools of this period include Epicurianism, Stoiciscm , and Skeptisicm Epicurus of Samos (341-270 B.C.). Founder of the philosophical school of Epicurianism which, similar to the Atomists, believed that atoms are fundamental parts of the real world. Believed that fate was governed by laws of nature and not some mysterious gods. Straton (Lambsacus, 340-290 B.C.). Greek physicist. Conducted experiments leading him to discover that bodies accelerate when they fall. However, erroneously, he also believes that heavier bodies fall faster. Also studied the lever, but does not find it's law. His work emphasizes the use of experimentation for scientific research. Lived in Alexandria, then moved to Athens to head the Aristitle's Lyceum after Theophrastos. Zenon of Citius (4th century B.C.).

Was the first to model the Earth according to scientific principles. According to him, the Earth was a cylinder with a north-south curvature, suspended freely in space, and the stars where attached to a sphere that rotated around Earth.

    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/archytas/
    
    Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Archytas of Tarentum was a Greek mathematician, political leader and philosopher, active in the first half of the fourth century BC (i.e., during Plato's lifetime). He was the last prominent figure in the early Pythagorean tradition and the dominant political figure in Tarentum, being elected general seven consecutive times. He sent a ship to rescue Plato from the clutches of the tyrant of Syracuse, Dionysius II, in 361, but his personal and philosophical connections to Plato are complex, and there are many signs of disagreement between the two philosophers. A great number of works were forged in Archytas' name starting in the first century BC, and only four fragments of his genuine work survive, although these are supplemented by a number of important testimonia. Archytas was the first to solve one of the most celebrated mathematical problems in antiquity, the duplication of the cube. We also have his proof showing that ratios of the form ( n n , which are important in music theory, cannot be divided by a mean proportional. He was the most sophisticated of the Pythagorean harmonic theorists and provided mathematical accounts of musical scales used by the practicing musicians of his day. He was the first to identify the group of four canonical sciences (logistic [arithmetic], geometry, astronomy and music), which would become known as the

    Extractions: Thales and Geometry Thales is the founder of Greek geometry. 41 This statement implies not only that he introduced geometrical studies into Greek usage, but also that he founded Greek geometry with its striking specificity. According to the evidence of Proclus (who used Eudemus's book systematically), Thales proved that the circle is halved by its diameter; he found out and stated that the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal; and he discovered the theorem of the equality of vertical angles and that of the equality of triangles with equal bases and adjoining angles (11A20 DK). In the two latter cases there are direct references to Eudemus (frag. 135, 134 Wehrli). [End Page 404] There are no grounds for believing that tradition has preserved all of Thales' achievements. Thus, according to Pamphila's evidence quoted by Diogenes Laertius (D.L.1.24), but naturally absent from Proclus's commentary on the first book of Euclid's Elements, Thales also inscribed a right-angled triangle in a circle. A. I. Zaitsev defines Thales' achievements as a "real revolution in the forms of human cognition," to wit: "first, Thales realized the necessity or at least the desirability of proving geometrical statements that seemed self-evident, and second, he gave those proofs." Now we may ask, why did Thales (unlike the Egyptians and Babylonians) begin to prove theorems? "The first mathematical proofs," Zaitsev writes, "were the natural fruit of a social climate where the discovery of a new truth not only gave an immediate satisfaction but could also bring fame. For it is clear that in these conditions, mathematical truths confirmed with proof became a particularly attractive object of search; one who found a faultless proof could as a rule count on public recognition, while the achievements in any other field of knowledge could as a rule be disputed." 42
