“Who created the world?” “When was it created?” “How was it created?” These are a few questions asked by people around the world. There are several beliefs on how the world was created. Some believe the biblical creation, while others believe the Greek creation. Even though they are different creations with different stories, they still have a few similarities. In the biblical creation and the Greek creation, they both believe in a god or gods that created the world, and they believe that the…

“Alchemy was the beginning of chemistry. It is part of the history of science, which is the history of human interaction with nature, and humanity's attempts to harness the power of nature for very human needs and wants” (“The Magic and Myth of Alchemy”). Alchemists acted on the idea that nature had secrets to give and that it could be exposed through laboratory examination and experimentation. Regardless of their limited knowledge at the time, the work that the alchemists did provided the basis…

Rotation is the action of moving an object around a center and this concept is fully shown in the movie “The Martian”. The rotation however depends on the concept of angular momentum, which is the rotational analog of linear momentum. This quantity is and will be the same for any rotating object and will not change unless it is ever impacted with an external force. In this case per say the Earth or Mars, rotating about its axis the physical quantity will always be conserved. Thus poses the…

is crucial for a Christian to have a firm understanding of his world view, so that, when he is faced with ideas that do not concur with his belief, he will manage to discern them. More specifically, a Christian should know the nature of man, the universe he lives in, and the god he believes in. According to the Biblical world view, there is a god, but a study done by Gallup, Inc. shows that 9 out of 10 Americans believe there is a god; however, their ideas of his nature varied a great deal.…

of the more well-known scientists to begin resisting the church control while limiting religious influences in his work was Galileo. Galileo made his discoveries by using a telescope and was determined to prove that the heliocentric model of the universe was correct, while trying to not go against and disprove the church and the teachings of the Bible (Galileo on Nature, Scripture, and Truth, pg. 391). Galileo believed that nature and the Bible could co-exist peacefully without much…

Important events from chapter 4: When Zee Prime asked the Universal AC about the galaxy where mankind originated, his thoughts were "guided" by the AC. The AC showed him the original galaxy but he was disappointed because it looked just like the other galaxies. This event is important because it shows that the new galaxies that the humans in the story were occupying are no different from the galaxy where they originated. This tells us that their means of living might not have changed…

unknown space we call “outer space” simply because it resides outside the front door. Space. It envelopes us like an old, soft blanket with moth bites here and stains there. At other times, however, it seems as if it’s a blindfold; perhaps the dark universe is trying to protect us from a sinister power lurking in a black hole. It is possible we are all just a speck of dirt under a giant’s fingernail. Why were we put…

Rhetorical effectiveness in writing is essential in order to communicate clearly. To analyze if writing is effective, the speaker must identify the audience and the subject of the composition while using techniques such as the incorporation of logos, ethos, and pathos. Einstein’s response of “Do scientists pray?”, in the letter “Dear Phyllis”, fails to recognize the audience and their level of understanding which undermines the effectiveness of his writing. Also, the lack of a concrete answer in…

higher being that they call god. The teleological argument know also as the argument from design. The argument is used by theists to persuade the existence of god to agnostics and atheists. It states that god or some intelligent being created the universe or life on earth and keeps it in balance. It tells that an object with intelligent design must have an intelligent designer. Hypothetically speaking if someone who does phone repairs for the first time opens one up. They have no idea what…

“The World on the Turtle’s Back” by the Iroquois Tribe is a creation myth. Joseph Campbell classified the four functions of a myth: metaphysical, to instill awe; sociological, to support customs; cosmological, to explain the world and the unexplained; and pedagogical, to guide people. This story fulfills each of these functions when the woman falls through a hole in the sky world and the earth is created by dirt from the bottom of the ocean. Her descendants each have a part of creating the…
