Observable universe

and that if the creation of complex molecules such as RNA, DNA, or a protein required the skill of a scientist, could the much more complex molecules within a cell arisen on accident? Therefore, it is more logical to believe that God created the universe and everything in it than evolution because it does not qualify as a scientific theory, because a “simple” cell is too complex to have arisen by accident, and because the natural world gives evidence of a creator. Evolution does not qualify as…

The very idea of planets orbiting around stars would have shattered the views of many people throughout history. After the Copernican revolution taught us that the Earth is not at the center of the universe but rather planets orbits the Sun opened up the possibility that planets might also orbit other stars. About two decades ago, a new scientific revolution began with the first discoveries of planets orbiting around other stars, called exoplanets. An exoplanet, is any planet that orbits a star…

Are we alone in the universe? Are we, human beings, the only living beings in the universe? Are there others out there? There are many questions that can be asked regarding life beyond our planet. Whether or not we are alone in this life has been a question the human race has been asking since the very beginning. We constantly question our own existence, as well as the possible existence of other intelligent species. Among the questions asked are, have we been visited by them? do they live among…

The article H. J. McCloskey wrote, On Being an Atheist, discusses how arguments presented are proof that God does not exist. As I learned from Dr. Foreman’s presentation, Arguments for God’s Existence, there is nothing that can be proven with one-hundred percent certainty. We need not use arguments, but we should use evidence, just as an attorney in building a case against or for an accused. (Foreman, Approaching the Question of God 's Existence n.d.) Evidence sometimes is circumstantial, full…

“The Universe Next Door” by James Sire provides insight into the various opposing worldviews society faces today. Beginning with the Pre-Modern thoughts that believe in God’s existence, spanning to the Modern view placing matter in the center of reality, and concluding with the Postmodern thoughts which deny the existence of reality. Throughout the semester we have discussed several of these viewings of the world, noting some views appear to be more practical than others. With the use of…

Galileo continued to further his argument with evidence of observable comets and supernovas, which show that the sunspots are not an isolated event, and that many imperfection can be observed with new the new tools of his time. Galileo also points out that the sunspots are a recurring phenomenon. This makes them constant…

wind storm (ru’ah sa’arah) was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing and streaking about it and in the middle of the fire was a source of brilliant light.” The LORD’s stormy approach to Job was wild, uncontrollably wild; so was the universe that God described. There was no gentle voice here. We have to ask ourselves, after all Job had been through, why this approach? It hardly seems a comforting or heartening response to a broken person. From the forceful intensity of the…

There are many theories that support it could've been prevented and that it couldn’t be prevented. World War II was one of the bloodiest wars, if not the bloodiest, in all of the wars ever. The total military deaths that came from the war were roughly around 19 million people killed (Appleby 519). It featured great Allied leaders: Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. The Axis leaders consisted of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Hideki Tojo. These six men were…

Doctor Faustus, written by Christopher Marlowe is about a man who sells himself to the devil. The reasoning behind this trade to the devil is for power, fame and knowledge. This story explains his time, and experience in selling himself to the devil. This play was a well known play at the time. It struck people because it was a rebellious decision the main character made, especially with the historical and social events at occurring at this time. The historical impact from what was socially…

The idea of time-travel is very interesting and many have attempted to find way in which it can be done. Before thinking about time-travel however, time itself must be defined. Is it all readily set out with everything existing simultaneously, or is it simply an ever-changing present moment and nothing more? It must also be said that the past and the future are very different concepts, despite appearing similar. Because of this, time-travel to the past and the future must be considered…
