Is this course on target for an HNRS course? this question looks relatively easy, so i guess i'll go with it, especially since i am already late. I think that HNRS courses should make one think differently than normal. They should make you look at things in a different light than you ordinarily would. The ability to look at things from different perspectives is very valuable to people in all kinds of fields, and also valuable to a follower of Christ. Thinking in varied ways and seeing things from different angles will help in everyone's career fields. For me, in the law field, thinking differently and being able to see things from different perspectives could help me win cases because criminals will obviously think quite differently than i would. Seeing things from different perspectives is also very important in Christianity. Paul addresses this when he talks about being all things to all people, as we have discussed briefly in class. Being able to think like other people and put ourselves in their shoes will help us reach more people with the message of Christ. So, yes, for me, i think this course is on target for an HNRS course. I do not think like a scientist at all, and i have a hard time understanding where people are coming from in that field. Hopefully this class will enable me to think differently and make it easier to understand others more fully.
