in need a response to week 4 blog and week 4 journal both should be a minimum of 150 words and the topics are listed below week 4 blog response The flood myths and apocalyptic myths differ greatly from the Eastern (Asiatic and Indian) countries to the Western (Norse, Christian, Muslim) countries. What similarities do you notice in the myths from the East as opposed to the myths of the West? What do you think about the similarities in flood myths? Someone always survives these great cataclysmic events. Are these people divinely spared, a symbol of human resilience, or a necessary part of the recreation of humanity? If you believe the floods were localized, then other people must be alive in other parts of the world; if you believe there was one flood and Noah and his family repopulated the entire earth what are the scientific implications of that theory? Would there be genetic abnormalities after a while like were known to appear in royal bloodlines? All of these questions play into the end of time scenarios presented in apocalyptic literature. week 4 journal response Were you surprised to learn that the Greek term (αποκάλυψη) apokalypsi had a different meaning than you had been taught? Apocalypse as a disclosure of knowledge or a revelation is foreign to our modern idea of apocalypse. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden, a vision of heavenly secrets that can make sense of earthly realities. Does this change your idea of a humanity ending disaster? How do you think humanity might come to a demise?
