I read through part of the article, Meditation on First Philosophy, which is based on the first, second and sixth meditation of Rene Descartes. Rene Descartes, a French philosophy, developed a key of how he concluded from these visions that most science would be proven and a central part of his life work. The religious beliefs of him have been debated within a circles of existence human nature such as doing the best thing of with God. That is what the reason of developing the natural science of the existing culture. In general, meditation was based on the practice of how humans being react and change overtime. Also, it has been practiced all of the nations comes to their minds with numerous religion traditions and beliefs.

As the first meditation "Of the things of which we may be doubt", there were two common ways of Rene Descartes first meditation: First, it can be worked as the groundwork for his meditations of life which follows where it could be written as a powerful tool against Aristotelian philosophy. Second, it can be standing along the foundation of the skepticism. Skeptism informs humans mind body which has informed the conception of their mind-problem. Descartes stated that "The belief that there is a God who is all powerful, and who created me, such as I am, has, for a long time, obtained steady possession of my mind" (Descartes 12). Thos quote means that who else is God turns out to be human and which the thing has been created. Also, for the powerful possession of their mind was more certain. Moreover, he is trying to set up a doubt considered what humans may be exist.

The second meditation is entitled "The nature of the human mind and how it is better known than the body" and it takes place after the first meditation. According to this, the cogito argument have contrasted the phrase between "I think, therefore I am" meaning the good complement of meditation. The phrase itself could be Descartes "frame an image (effingo), reminds him of an error; for he should in truth frame one if he were to imagine himself to be anything" (Descartes 19). This quote dedicated to the human of what thinks it could be an issue for their truth. Looking into the matter, humans brain function was totally overloaded which their mind was relieved. Descartes knew that it was unclear that they might like the humans would be making new thoughts, processing their mind better known than the body. He thinks he knew three things for certain: his own existence thinking thing, the concepts of substance and identity; however, he still doesn't know if any substance exist.

The sixth and the last meditation is entitled "The existence of material things, and the real distinction between mind and body," and it all come from things which were dedicated to real things. Descartes produces two arguments for the existence of material things, one is based on imagination and the other is based on pure understanding. There could been a difference between these two arguments. He stated that "The imagination cannot be an essential property of his mind, since the Meditator could still exist even if he could not imagine" (Descartes 50). It is true that there is no widely accepted proof of God's existence but the imagination could not exist to his mind. However, it is not true to say that Meditator could been exist but there is no success that he could not imagine. His conclusion made everyone happy, so nothing to fear from science. Science rules in the realm of the human body, but only because of the certain of science depends the existence of a non-deceiving God. Whether they admit or not, scientists depend of God for his ideas.
