If there was anything in nature that there was not a myth to explain, the Greeks became curious, started to wonder and create new myths. Eye color was a common thing people wondered about. One day Zeus got bored of doing things he was supposed to be doing, so he decided to listen to conversations of humans. The conversation he overheard made him wonder. “Eye color is very interesting, isn’t it,” said one man. “Yes, it is,” said the other. “How is it that if the mother has green eyes and the…

“The Inner Climate” by Pico Iyer and “Touching the Earth” by bell hooks both share the idea of connecting to the nature. Pico Iyer argues that in order for one to externally change, they must first internally change. Similarly, bell hooks argues that the individual spiritual change affects the external environment. Though both the essays show the importance of the nature and how one should connect to it, they both go in a different direction and have their own perspectives. The use of…

When we look up into the sky we think that we are living the present, but in all reality we living and looking at the past. The light that we see from stars takes time to reach earth, this means that we can be looking at the light of a star that was produced four years ago; this is a result of the distance between earth and the star. The life and death span of a star depends on the mass of the star. Based on the distance of the sun from the earth and the amount of energy that the sun produces,…

an unknown force — a cosmological constant — which kept the world stable." This contradicted to what Lemaitre theory was. As stated in 'A Day Without Yesterday': Georges Lemaitre & the Big Bang, by Mark Midbon, "...Lemaitre decided that the universe was expanding. He came to this conclusion after observing the reddish glow, known as a red shift, surrounding objects outside of our galaxy. If interpreted as a Doppler effect, this shift in color meant that the galaxies were moving away from us…

world/universe began around 14 billion years ago and the earth is around 4.5 billion years old. Another type of evolutionist is called "deists". They believe that God created the universe, but then at some point he stopped creating and allowed natural processes to originate life and drive evolution. Compared to Evolution, Creation is on the complete opposite of the spectrum. Evolution is based on facts, whereas creation is typically based on the belief that life, the Earth, and the universe were…

Creation and evolution had fight for centuries, people who believe in science insist evolution is right, people who believe in god insist creation is right, so lets talk about those two title. Frist lets talk about evolution. Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to biodiversity at every level of biological organisation, including the levels of species, individual organisms, and molecules.…

Many people have attempted to put an age to the Earth. Aristotle believed that Earth has existed eternally. Various others attempted to use the bible to extrapolate back from known history which resulted in a relatively recent beginning. In 1654, Archbishop James Usher of Ireland used this theory and estimated the creation of Earth to be 4,004 B.C. (Ticotsky, 2006). A couple of decades later, Nicolas Steno formulated the idea that is now known as “original horizontality” in which layers of…

This research paper is about six different hypothesis about how life started. It states the claim, the evidence and the scientist. It also says the year it was presented. In this paper it explains the six hypotheses that is the origin of biomolecules. The primordial soup hypothesis is that living things were made from a ocean from the combination from the chemicals in the air without oxygen and some type of energy to make amino acids which would then turn into living things.The Iron Sulfur World…

was at the center of the universe. It was not until the 16th century when Nicolaus Copernicus, a mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic cleric brought the ‘heliocentric system’ to the public, starting the Copernican Revolution. Even though they had started to finally figure things out, the extent of human knowledge was very limited. To me, I think the reason that humanity is so puffed up about its existence is because we cannot comprehend the vast space that is our universe. According to Carl…

The Ways Nature Affects the Workplace Human beings by design have an innate need to connect with nature. Currently, a growing number of companies are experimenting with “biophilic design”, which simply means incorporating a physical and ephemeral presence of nature within a space or a place. Biophilic design promotes the view of nature indoors, and can be as simple as incorporating a fish tank, having green or wooden walls, as well as featuring potted plants within a space. As a species, we have…
