What qualifies as "History"?

answers1: Technically I suppose, but usually it's just about people.
answers2: Being honest I consider the main component fear in all these
negative responses. Read your history (if you don't believe me) and
see that it was politics, fear and money when Christianity was
originally formed. It was fear when those in power were deciding what
to put in and keep out of the bible. It's been fear every time there
has been a religious war. Same with salem witch trials. Any time
anything unexplained that isn't G*D related is spoken of. It's the
fear that produces the reaction to quote the bible. It's fear,
confusion and need to Save the "poor confused soul" and lead it into
so called "riotousness" When a friend of mine started into "new age
stuff' over (wow) 16 years ago. I was worried for her. I didn't know,
what I do now. I was fearful for her mind, her psyche, her body, her
soul and the rest of her. It was while Turing to understand what she
was getting into and doing Research, that I realized what Wicca, Witta
and ultimately what ozitrue was. I was lucky that she found a small
group of people who were wicca and really accepting and wonderful
teachers to her and I. I over came the fear to rationalize and analyze
what she was getting into. I think that if more people could be opened
minded, yeah go into it guarded, but with an opened mind and really
Research both sides of it. Talk to people on both sides about it
before just quoting the bible. Than maybe the world would be a better
place. There's not much, I can think of to do about people like that.
But try to inform those who wish to learn more and try to ignore those
who speak in fear or recite the bible. There will always be
intolerance! Especially towards those who do not practice a so called
"normal" religion. I do feel that the main Component is fear. Fear of
the 'devil'. Fear of loosing your soul. But mainly the fear of the
unknown. Note: This may sound anti WWJD It's not my intention to bash
your religion. only post my thoughts on this topic.
answers3: History is that which has passed, just as your question and
my answer, soon as I am done with it will also be. <br>
<br>
The big bang is history. As is evolution. It is just not part of
recorded history.
answers4: Very interesting question as it crosses several disciplines.
For example, when we reference the history of astronomical phenomena,
this is part of cosmology. In terms of evolution, that would be under
paleontology for the most part. <br>
<br>
When we consider history in the context of the humanities, this is
generally a reference to the past events involving humankind. This can
be gleaned by archeology or the examination of writings. Even oral
sagas constitute history in this sense. <br>
<br>
In general, history would focus on events that have a discernible
impact on events that occur afterward. For example, it is history in
what Socrates drank just before dying (since it killed him), but not
what he had for breakfast the day before (as that would be just
trivia). Of course the level of impact is subjective, so how game 1 of
the 1988 World Series ended would be a part of sports history, it
pales in comparison to the Presidential election that same year. <br>

Hope that helps.
answers5: Anything that has gone before the present time is history.
If you want to include the formation of the stars and universe, that's
a little difficult because all that is available is a series of
hypotheses. No one has any proof of anything and there is o record of
the events. Evolution can be regarded as history as long as there is
something concrete to point to - such as fossils, DNA records that
trace the development etc.
answers6: Today will be tomorrow's History.
answers7: There are various "types' of history. There is written
history, pre-historic history from before writing, the history of
early man, the history of the world, the universe.
