How do Michelangelo's David and Donatello's David relate to Renaissance Humanism in at least two ways?

Humanism art is extremely realistic, and both of these statues depict realistic standpoints. In Donatello's David, since it is free standing, (this was the first free standing nude) it gives it more of a human and realistic feel. Both of these peices of art are detailed, realistic, and proud, which is exactly what humanism art was. In Michelangelo's statue David symbolizes civic independance, represents the ideal of youthful and physical perfection, David is depicted as a noble, and it shows David at his best-vigorously healthy, beautiful and rationally contempt. I just wrote an essay on this and above is the information i gathered upon my research! I hope this helps anyone else looking for info:)

How does philosophy today relate to the philosophy of Jesus?

Jesus is the personification of compassion.Philosophy tried its best to explain what compassion is without which humans remain a mere social animal. Jesus first of all is the Creator of all humankind, and the rest of the Universe as well, so the aspect of Philosophy did not come as a surprise to Him. I agree that Jesus is the personification of compassion, but also so much more. The philosophy of today is something that varies according to whom you spend your time with, and what they are thinking. I ususally see that as a term that intellectuals of the academia world prefer to use as opposed to living one's faith out by lifestyle. It's a way of saying 'man's view of religion verses God's way of His Son living out the life that only by faith others can actually have. I may have others that disagree with me on that but that is how I see it. There were several in the ancient world who had the admiration of the people of their time and they were considered to be very intelligent. But the Lord's response to those who were of that nature came through Paul when he was writing the New Testement, and he observed that the culture he spoke to 'worshipped' many gods, and had the intelligence to even have an altar to the 'unknown' god, and it was to that 'god' that Paul spoke about to them. If you want to learn more about that read in the Book of Acts in the New Testement. I don't recall the chpt. but reading through that whole book you will find out about that passage. The world's philosophy of today, what little I know about it and it is extremely little, is not exactly warm to the idea of the Christian's faith as it doesn't seem to want to accept what Jesus did for them. As I said earlier, it depends on where you are and who you spend your time with to know what the answer is to that kind of a question. Or: Not in the least. Humankind has learned a great deal in the intervening years. The philosophy of Jesus was not adhered to in his time - except by him - it certainly is not today. There may be a few, very rare, individuals who aspire the the philosophy of Jesus but they will be in the minority by an unknown but very large margin.

How is a theory different from a guess?

A "theory", as the word is used in science, is not just a guess; it's refers to a system of thought that is well-established, and confirmed by numerous experiments. For example, the "Theory of Relativity" or the "Big Bang theory" are more than wild guesses; there are strong reasons to believe in each of them, including the results of numerous experiments.For more information, read the article on "Scientific theory", in the Wikipedia - or at least the introductory paragraphs.
