Francesca Holloway · Answer 1

There's four choices for this ...

A. the belief that nothing on Earth is predetermined, and the world is constantly changing

B. the belief that everything on Earth has a place in the natural order, which is determined by mankind

C. the belief that everything on Earth has a place in the natural order, which is determined by its creator

D. the belief that people should not stray from their place in the social order, which is determined by God

And some people are arguing about the right answer, It's either C or D ...

But i think the correct answer is C. the belief that everything on earth has a place in the natural order, which is determined bi it's creator.

Why? this is the explanation, He couldn't have made a theory about God being the creator since the single deity version of God came much later as Greece was polytheistic during his time. This belief was exploited by the Elizabethans to keep the poorer classes in what they believed was their place.
