First Entry
This is my first time creating a weblog. I am creating it for a philosophy/ethics class, and future posts will confirm this. In addition to this being my first "blog," this will also be the first philosophy class I take. I am a science major and enjoy science courses. I do not know yet if I will enjoy philosophy as it seems there is not always a specific answer to a given question. The study seems very open ended.

Ahh, philosophy is very close to science. Particularly in terms of demands of rigor and proof. Most science is an outgrowth of philosophy. That is, before there were the sciences, the "scientific" questions were being asked by scientists. And when you hit upon anything really interesting in science, you've probably stumbled back into philosophy.
My dad is trained as a physicist and I always say that this is as close as I could get to that without actually involving numbers.
