Science And Intelligent Design Research Paper

Decent Essays
The universe is something that is always on display for us, whether we pay attention to it or not. We can look around at our world and see the trees, mountains, oceans, animals and much more that are all so unique and awe inspiring. We can even look past this world simply by fixing our eyes upward. The strange thing is that light usually allows us to see by illuminating everything around us, but the sunlight actually blocks our view of the galaxy we reside in. It is not until there is no sunlight that we are able to take in the wonders of cosmos. For me, I have recently looked up and wondered how it all came to be. Coming to college, I have been given the opportunity to pursue any questions I have and truly figure out life for myself. …show more content…
I know that not everyone knows or even cares about the science behind the universe and how it came to be, so I am directing my paper towards those who are interested. I specifically wanted to give people that are asking questions a new perspective on the two main views of life: science and intelligent design. There is a large history of debate between these two main beliefs. Having looked into both myself, I believe they do not have to be separate, but can go hand in hand. I felt that a research paper was the best medium to explain my findings. While most major findings in science are written as a scientific report, such as Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, I found that I had too much information for just a short report. Even though the Theory of Relativity is complicated, Einstein only used three pages to explain it. For people that are not on his IQ level, it is very hard to understand without any outside resources. I wanted people that are already somewhat science minded to be able to read my paper and understand what I am saying, without having to seek other sources for understanding. This is why I formulated the research paper with compilations of many scientist findings and theories, and meshed them all into my own. Like any good research paper should, I analyzed the data and explained it in a way that fits my

    Facing the uncertainty of the natural world, scientists seek to order observable phenomena with structured methodology. Scientific research explains the unknown and provides humanity with a better understanding of the universe. However, the process of decoding the vast unknown is long and arduous; scientists tasked with unravelling the mysteries of the universe must be dedicated to the process and resilient to failure. In The Great Influenza, John M. Barry characterizes scientific research as a noble endeavor only worthy of those of great intelligence and passionate resolve. Barry Utilizes juxtaposition and extended metaphor to present scientific research as a difficult but enlightening process.…

    I don't think I'll ever forget myself as I was just then; my legs sprawled up on the picnic table and back arched to try and conform to the rigid wooden chair that would never be comfortable. My eyes were shut, and my sigh was soft. My chest hurt, but not in a broken-hearted kind of way. It was actually physical, but I tried to ignore it. I felt like crying for no reason, but I didn't.…

    In the landmark decision of Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, Judge John E. Jones soundly argues that intelligent design (ID) does not represent a scientific theory, but rather a religious argument whose teaching in public schools violates the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This argument exhibits both logical validity and true premises in its categorization of the theory as non-scientific, thus being truly sound. In essence, the decision states that ID fails in two major areas – (1) it implies, and even arguably requires, the existence of a supernatural entity; and (2) it entails a false dichotomy in the vein of earlier creationist ideas. Jones argues that each of these individual premises precludes…

    The beauty of the world and the universe is something that is hard to grasp for most people because of the magnitude of how riveting the beauty is. “In the Forest of Gombe” an essay written by Jane Goodall, describes how she was experiencing many different types of beauty from within the forest. The essay describes how we as humans look through many different lenses while we are searching for the meaning of the world. It truly is “our human responsibility” to better understand the awe aspiring world we live in; since, there is so much beauty and that there are so many unknowns that if we leave them unknown we will never grow as a civilization. As humans, we can see the world from many different “windows” and those lenses we see the world from…

    I had the confidence to finally get out of my comfort zone and started doing what regular kids do, which seemed impossible the year before. For such a young person, I sure did realize how mature I was. I learned the habit of not complaining about what is wrong and instead getting up to actually fix it. Having experienced this, I learned that my passion was in making a difference in other people's’ lives. I know I am driven to spend the rest of my life doing it.…

    When given the task of creating both a whole new superhero and comic script, I was shocked by the amount of control and creativity I would have throughout the process. Creating my own personal hero is what excited me most as a writer, although I realized how hard it is to truly be original in the world of comics. Since Superman’s grand debut in 1938 it would seem as though every superpower has been thought of. The “roadblock” of creating an original hero pushed my creativity and lead to my development of my character “Ethos”. In creating Ethos I was influenced by both my academic life and personal interests.…

    The chilly night air rushes around, a gentle reminder that it is midnight and the world is sleeping. Looking up, all I see is the vast expanse of night sky. The sky always seems to be hovering above earth, just out of reach, no matter how high humans try to venture. Instead of the black ominously swallowing up the world, it seems to sit contently above. The starlight cuts through the dark, creating an allusion of nearness because of the stars’ unmistakable glow.…

    Our lives are defined by experiences, with each one serving as a manifestation of our interests and circumstances. One cannot truly live without intellectual stimulation. Such stimulation can be derived from reading, listening, discussing and simply exercising one’s imagination. I’ve always believed that in order to truly discover yourself, you should fill your life with intellectual experiences. Looking back on these years, I feel that my most important intellectual experience was one which I only went through recently, and yet has had a profound impact on my development as an individual.…

    (1) In your own words, define, then compare and contrast the different theories of intelligence that are presented in the textbook, including Spearman 's G Factor, Gardner 's Multiple Intelligences, Sternberg 's Triarchic Theory and the concept of Emotional Intelligence. Sternberg proposed that there consist three types of intelligence: analytical, creative and practical. Analytic intelligence consists of problem-solving; creative intelligence deals with new ideas, new ways of problem-solving and processing certain aspects of information; practical intelligence, in other words, "street smarts," involves the ways people get through life. In general, these three types of intelligence work systematically to solve problems.…
