symbolic narratives of the beginning of man. Throughout our societies and other countries, we all have our own sets of beliefs, which serve as our “creation story”. Most people in the United States I’d say believe that God created the heavens and the earth, and it all started with the creation of Adam and then Eve. Other religions have specific creation stories to, that their followers believe and live by. The creation myth of the Epic of Gilgamesh starts out with the introduction of the…

I’ve been on this ship with the Hesperis crew for two months now. We are somewhere in the middle of space between Earth and Venus. Travelling to Venus takes about 5 months, which means I still have three months of living (a very generous term for this situation in my opinion) in a 300 ft3 room with three other people [1, 2]. Trust me it’s not fun. It is difficult enough to live in a cramped living area by myself. The most common topic when discussing human space travel is the effects radiation…

Weather is a day-to-day change in the atmospheric condition such as temperatures and humidity. The climate is the observed weather for an extended period hence it identifiable with specific locations. The climate system is made of the elements such as biosphere (living organisms), cryosphere (ice sheets, oceans, and atmosphere) and geosphere (rocks, soils, and sediments).All these factors influence the changes in the movement of heat on the environment, which leads to climate change. The oceans…

The need for understanding plagues humanity. Our brains work tirelessly categorizing identifying, and creating patterns, relentlessly translating and processing the world around us. This is even the case while we slumber. According to the Activation Synthesis Theory of dreaming even when we are asleep we are trying to make sense of the haphazard cues, details and various stimuli festering in our subconscious. Burdened with the constant desire to understand and make sense of our environment,…

The biodiversity on our planet today has been formed from 3.5 billion years of evolution. Once humans step foot on earth the planet had to support more biodiversity than ever before. Since humans have become the dominant race the levels of biodiversity have declined rapidly impacting each species differently. Biodiversity is all living things; plants, animals and microorganisms, the genetic information they contain, and the ecosystems created by them. Biodiversity is explored in 3 levels that…

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration processes are thought of as completely opposite. They are completely opposite processes locked in a never-ending cycle. That cycle helps maintain the Earth's atmosphere to keep the planet inhabitable by making the air breathable. The processes both have many differences between them, but they also have many similarities. They cause the perfect balance that's essential to life, as we know it. The processes help…

2.1 The Formation of UHI Luke Howard first proposed the urban heat island concept in 1833, he had examined the average temperature between London city and villages in 1920. As the result showed that the London city temperature is significant higher than the rural area in the day and night due to land usage increasing, lack of vegetation, artificial environments and heat production effect the high temperature in urban area than rural area. Therefore, UHI change the urban district of the…

different age and creation of the earth. Yet Genesis 1:1 makes it unmistakably clear that God alone created the heavens and the earth. God made earth from nothing and therefore it has a definite beginning. As Genesis 1-2 continue, God’s involvement with creation is apparent as he not only instantaneously speaks all things into existence but is also recorded planting the garden of Eden (Gen 2:8) and getting His hands dirty by literally creating man from the dust of the earth (Gen 2:7). After…

beaches will either be washed away by immense flooding, or die of dehydration from extreme droughts. As a Christian, I know that this is not what God intended for the world. After God created the earth and all its wildlife He made the first man, Adam. On this day, God gave man the sworn duty of protecting the earth as its created order. After several thousand years, I believe it is safe to say that we have not lived up to that duty. In fact, we have pushed away from it. Pollan argues that…

Feng Shui, which is believed to share valuable wisdom, common sense and sensitivity to nature. Feng Shui depend on astronomy to find correlations between humans and the universe. According to (Hurley, n.d). There are a lot of Chinese Dynasties that influenced Feng Shui, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty. There are two types of Feng Shui, the Form School and the Compass School. Form School, the oldest school of Feng Shui, the Han Dynasty describes in it the “Book of the…
