not require or need a purpose to exist.. .God is Creator. Yet, the Creator had to have had a direct establishment in all things to exist or else things would neither exist nor have purpose. Now, humans are able to create things with a purpose, but do not have a purpose to God—God does not care about our cell phones, books, printers, cars, fly swatters, etc.—humans care about these things and gave these things purpose in the universe. Further, God created humans and endowed humans the…

Did you ever wonder what would happen if giraffes didn’t have long necks? Or what would happen finches all had the same beaks? If these fantasies were true today, both animals would be extinct. The reason many animals are alive today is because natural selection has helped the animals survive and adapt. Organisms that are better adapted to their environment that survive and reproduce is the process of natural selection. It is proven that organisms that are best fit for their environment will…

In Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, humans and androids stand in direct opposition with one another: they must destroy each other to maintain their existence on a dystopic Earth with an ever-dwindling population. With this being said, the distinctions between dehumanized humans and humanized androids seem to grow smaller all the time, creating a cause for concern for both humans and androids alike, begging questions of what it means to be human, what it is to…

Introduction When examining the works of Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973), can viewers glean that she transcended traditional figurativism in her paintings? Did her work illustrate the social dynamism of a growing Brazil? After investigating Tarsila’s aesthetic choices to experiment with color and geometry, which characterized her style of topographic surrealism, her audiences may discern that she opted to deviate from Eurocentric precepts as painting evolved in early-to-mid 20th…

How do airplanes fly? What inventions led to the modern airplanes and jets we have now? We all have these questions in our head but not everyone is curious enough to find out. The dream of flying is as old as mankind itself. However, the concept of the airplane hasn’t been around for that long. Before that time, men and women tried to navigate the air by trying different things I’m stating birds. They built wings to strap onto their arm or machines with flapping wings called ornithopters. On the…

Towards the end of the novel we see that the androids have come together for safety much like they did in the movie, however they seem to care less about protecting one another and more about the scientific odds of winning if they fight together vs. apart. While explaining an alarm system he is creating Batty is asked by Isidore, “Won’t the alarm affect us?” to which Pris says, “That’s right…It’ll affect Isidore,” (162 Dick) meaning J.R. the human who has been so kind to help and protect them.…

One of the subfields of seismology is to study how and why earthquakes occur. Predicting and projecting when, how, and why earthquakes occur can save millions of lives, while also saving billions in public taxpayer funds to rebuild after the damage. There are several types of gravitational forces that occur within the earth and cause earthquakes, such as plate tectonics and seafloor spreading. Understanding these actions can allow us to have better understanding of the causation of earthquakes.…

Introduction What is very interesting about this research is that when the balls are cold the gas molecules inside tend to get tired and not have so much energy to help the balls bounce. It’s their job to act as a spring to help the balls bounce, but in order for the ball to bounce it has to be the right temperature, meaning the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment. In this case it has to be warm outside because that’s when the gas molecules inside are excited and they have a…

In the Baja California coast of Mexico, shrimp ponds were reported to be affected by algal blooms and the responsible algae were the prasinophyte Nephroselmis sp., Cochlodinium polykrikoides, Prorocentrum rhathymum, P. minimum, and Heterocapsa triquetra (dinoflagellates) and Nitzschia sigma (diatom) (Gárate-Lizárraga et al., 1999; 2004; 2006; Sierra-Beltrán et al., 2005; Gárate- Lizárraga and Muñetón-Gómez, 2008). Severe losses in shrimp farming in Mexico caused by toxic dinoflagellates and…
