“As a man thinketh so is he”, a verse from the bible noted by my Grandmother in the interview. Providing the listener with some of my Grandma’s strength as a person and view on her life. Being able to overcome alcoholism is one thing, but becoming a counselor for chemical dependency is another. My Grandma is a very strong lady and has been a great role model for many to look up to, even me ever since I was a little kid. Simply looking at my Grandma’s history: being sober for 51 years, beating…

65,000,000 years ago, an entire species was killed off. There are so many different theories of how the dinosaurs dissapeared. There are many different ways to explain the extinction which took place 65 million years ago. One of the main reasons was the possibility of a sudden change in the climate or atmosphere. For instance, a nearby supernova explosion could heat up the upper atmosphere, disturbing the ozone layer. Disturbing the ozone layer could produce large ice clouds which would cool…

extinction events some species are more probable to survive than others are (Futuyma 173). Amphibians have survived through many of the great extinctions (Kolbert, 2009). They once were an all marine organism but have evolved throughout time and now can live on…

Growing up as an only child to a single parent who worked two jobs to pay the bills taught me a great deal about life. I was not only taught to work hard, but also to be dedicated to by my goals. I saw the injustices of life in ways other children were sheltered from. I remember how difficult it was for my mother to work 16 hours and still provide a home cooked dinner for me, and during that dinner listen to how my day was spent. There were even some days she had to take me to work with her at…

punishment for breaking sacred law, crashing into Earth and killing everything in the vicinity. And we can still see the scars of this event today. The local people feared if they strayed too close to this land they might reignite some otherworldly creature. Luritja people were forbidden from going near the craters, as that was where the…

In order to know exactly what the stumbling block principle is, a stumbling block must be defined as it is used in the Bible. First, in order to understand a stumbling block, “offense” must be defined. Offense within the Bible can be defined in two ways. It can be seen in the Bible as God or Jesus causing unbelievers to stumble in their ways and become saved, and it can also be seen as an experienced Christian causing a new Christian to act against their conscience; this offense can also be…

Around 543 million years ago the Cambrian Explosion occurred, some say it may represent the most important evolutionary event in the history of life on Earth. The “Cambrian Explosion” refers to the rapid appearance of most major living animal body plans in the fossil record within 20 million years or less. This may seem to be a long period of time but is a relatively short in evolutionary history. This swift change in the fossil record appears to be inconsistent with the ideal of the slow…

66 million years ago, the last group of dinosaurs disappeared forever; leaving us with the question - what killed the dinosaurs? And how did they disappear? Was a gradual or a quick and calamitous end? The “Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) Extinction Event took such a significant blow to life on Earth it marked the end of the Cretaceous period that fell at the end of the Mesozoic Era, which gave way to the Paleogene Era (SciShow). The first period of the Cenozoic Era that continues today. Scientists…

In a thought-provoking literary composition by Stephen Jay Gould, the hypotheses of dinosaur extinction are intermingled with the all-consuming thoughts and dilemmas that plague much of the modern society, including: sex, drugs, and violence; as well as one great unknown- how dinosaurs became extinct. Gould adds the public’s lust for outré, controversial statements with real, scientific inferences. Plaguing the world with questionability, the explanation for the dinosaurs’ extinction is still…

Have you ever wondered what the other half of the world was like? Just like a person can wonder what the 96.5 of the earths water was like. Talking about the mysterious ocean. Did you know it might actually be possible for us to have living dinos in the water, want to know why? Because of the whole theory that a meteor hit earth and killed all living dinos except for some that water dinos were fine and didn’t get effected. So one-day u can discover a megalodon eating your butt But that…
