What is the “right” science to teach students, creationism or evolution? The teaching of creationism and evolution in classes has been a huge controversy over the past decades. The belief that God created the world in a few days or that humans evolved from organisms long ago is still a battle today. Many people believe the idea of evolution because there is evidence to support the arguments that earth slowly developed through natural selection to what we know it as today. Although, there is a…

Essay on Judge Jones decision In this essay I will be examining Judge Jones’ decision with regard to the demarcation problem as it relates to Intelligent Design. I will do this by examining his conclusion, then trying to see the method of how he got to that conclusion by looking at his premises, when I have reconstructed the argument that he is making, I will then evaluate the strength of the premises and validity of the argument to see whether or not he should have reached that conclusion with…

The Outbreak of Cholera in Haiti Ayva Rodriguez Felician College The Outbreak of Cholera in Haiti It’s been almost 5 years since the cholera epidemic in Haiti affected thousands of people that even until now the pathogenic organism are still around claiming the lives of Haitian individual ("Combat Cholera," 2014). Cholera may have been around during the time of the Greek physician “…Hippocrates (460-377 BCE) and the Indian peninsula” as their record indicates the similarity of the disease…

billion years. One of the most simple and primitive cells, the E. coli cell, is still vastly complex with a detailed structure. An E. coli cell must contain a capsule, a cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, plasmid, pili, bacterial flagellum as well as a nucleoid. The idea that one of the most primitive cells on Earth appeared spontaneously from inert chemicals out of chance opposed to the idea of the creation of a primitive yet complex cell from a higher being proves that both…

The next topic a student should be schooled in is cells and cellular biology. While cells are the building blocks of all living organism, scientists have confirmed that there are actually different types of cells depending on the organism. The two main classes of organisms are the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes. The prokaryotic is the simpler of the two and are the one-celled organisms such as bacteria and archaea. The interior of a prokaryotic cell consists of a main nucleoid, which contains…

Clostridium tetani is a rod shaped microorganism’s bacteria in charge of the frequently lethal infection tetanus he word tetanus originates from the Greek word tetanus, which anticipates the meaning to stretch. Tetanus is described by unbending nature and sudden contractions of skeletal muscle and infection within the integumentary system, skin (Tortora, et al., 2016). Bacterial cells, similar to plant cells, are surrounded by a cell wall. However, bacterial cell walls are comprised of…

Sarah Di Lello Mr. Jordan Bible 12B April 3, 2018 Creation vs Evolution The debate on creation versus evolution is one that will never end and never be won as long as we exist. The best we can do is discuss, not to win the argument, but to win over people. Our goal as Christians is to be stewards of Christ, being His vessels to spread His Word to change souls, not to win arguments and lose the people He loves. However, there are many pieces of evidence that solidify the reliability and authority…

Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is an acute and potentially life-threatening infection caused by toxins released from the bacteria Clostridium tetani. It is commonly found in soil, fecal matter and dust in areas that tend to by hot and humid. The bacteria enter the body through open wounds or cuts, causing bacterial infection in those that have not been vaccinated or have not received the proper vaccination. Tdap should be administered in three doses during normal childhood vaccinations and it…

partially due to the long standing misunderstanding of what exactly it is and its symptoms. “The causative agent of cholera, one of the most serious gastrointestinal diseases, is Vibrio cholerae, a slightly curved, gram-negative rod with a single polar flagellum. Cholera bacilli grow in the small intestine and produce an exotoxin, cholera toxin, that causes host cells to secrete water and electrolytes, especially potassium” (Tortora…

What is biodiversity? Introduction Biodiversity is defined as the variety of life on Earth at all its levels and includes genes to ecosystems, as well as the ecological and evolutionary processes that sustain it (Cardinale, 2012). The Earth’s biodiversity has long been a source of wonderment and scientific curiosity, but is increasingly becoming a source of concern. The sheer diversity of life is of inestimable value. Biodiversity has a number of functions on Earth, from providing a foundation…
