In this era of new technology, information is getting easier to access and easier to misinterpret. There is a huge distinction between hate speech and freedom of speech that liberals, libertarians, and conservatives as well, seem to be misunderstanding. It is an ongoing debate that certainly needs to be addressed in a manner that will educate people about this rampant and damaging problem. On one side, we have liberals who feel like if others do not agree with their ideology, then the other side…

I, Wan Aida Deliana will be focusing on Richard Dawkins atheistic view as I believe that his statements are the things that I question in life. The strength of Richard Dawkins is that he is able to relate to his audience with science as his religion. Dawkins explained his several point of views by applying scientific concepts and the concept of Darwinism. He grew up in an Anglicanism Christian upbringing. He mentions that in his biographical introduction, he realized that there are…
Project MKUltra is an exemplary case of human experimentation that as indicated by others damaged essential ethics. Indeed, the part of national security was completely in charge of its creation. In spite of being dynamic for almost a quarter century, extend gained basically zero logical ground. Its long propagation can be ascribed to the officials' absence of responsibility and their perspective of rights. It is these rights that make discussion about the adequacy of other research programs…
True science has given us airplanes, electricity, heart transplants, the computer, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering and a host of vital everyday goods and services. True science takes what God has given, try to understand it, subject it to all kinds of experiments and tests and see what secrets it can reveal and marshal them for the betterment…
In this vast, unknown universe that we are in, there exist four fundamental forces, (1) strong nuclear force, (2) weak nuclear force, (3) electromagnetic force and the weakest of them all, (4) gravitational force. All of them are very significant to the race of humans but one force seems to be very commonly known and familiar that we tend to forget how this force is astonishing and remarkable; how this force had shaped the world and society that we know today. Thus, let us begin knowing how…
Erwin Schrödinger was a physicist pioneer who gave a series of lectures in 1944. They were published under the title What is Life? (Harold, 2001). Though philosophical in nature, many have wondered if life can be reduced to biology or even further down to chemistry. This sent many scientists looking for the answer and spawned the guiding question, could human life be artificially created at the cellular level? This would consist of arranging the correct amounts of various elements into the…
“Does God begin where science ends?” is a question Professor John Lennox begins his speech with. It is remarkable that science and God has become one the most discussed debate in the world, but at the end of the day, science is not at war with God. This debate is fuelled by two opposite worldviews, atheistic materialism and theistic views (Christian views). Professor John Lennox goes on to say in his speech that science has rendered atheism irrelevant and that he sees science and religion…
X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a Professor at Wuerzburg University in Germany. While working with a cathode-ray tube in his laboratory, Roentgen observed a fluorescent glow of crystals on a table near his tube. In the past, people were unaware of how harmful x-rays are, because they are invisible. Scientists and researchers working in the radiography field were not aware of the effect on the body after continuous exposure. When radiography was in its infancy, it was…
What makes somebody a cyborg? In today’s society science has evolved to new heights than ever before. With this evolution we see an entire new wave of technology being used to help people in revolutionary ways. The current definition for a cyborg is “a person whose physiological functioning is aided by or dependent upon a mechanical or electronic device.” (cyborg Def. 1). However, in our beloved Eastern Commonwealth we have grown to define them as something different. Instead of looking at…
