:(D) Aztecs (A.D. 1200-1521) The Aztecs are known for playing ballgames, the use of a calendar, and customs of their ancestors. The only major difference is that the Aztecs were more war-like; the Aztecs were not intellectual. They themselves did not advance knowledge or civilization but used the methods of their predecessors.  (Veronika)

:The Mayans (A.D. 300- 900), numbering 5- 16 million, are known as the “Greeks of the New World”.  They used a yearly solar calendar, traded using different materials, and they did understand the concept of zero.

:The Toltecs (A.D. 900- 1200) resided in northern Mexico and were fighters who were also conquered by the sword.

:The Aztecs (A.D. 1200- 1521) were very warlike and also fell by the sword.  However, they had ingeniously invented plots of floating land to grow food on.

:The Incas (A.D. 1250- 1537) developed an immense empire in South America, which is considered to be the largest civilization in all of the Americas. They had an excellent system of messengers and soldiers, and they did not demand any type of tribute to the empire.  As great as an empire as the Incans were, a disastrous civil war weakened it and was no match for the Spaniards when they arrived there from Europe.  (Olivia)

:... [T]he Christian faith is in fact different from every other religious faith. Through going back to the Hebrew language this becomes clear. The Hebrew word for faith which is used in the Old Testament is emunah. Emunah is an action oriented to the word “support”.  So when I say that I have faith in God, I am not just saying that I have confidence that God exists, like people in other religions say, I am going even further. I am saying that I fully support what I know God can do and is going to do. So the Christian faith is different from the faith in any other religion.  (Jenna N.)

:I do not believe that “faith” can be properly applied to any other religion because most religions either believe in multiple gods with human desires and temptations or one god that acts on “whims.”  (Olivia)
