when religion has always played a factor in politics and nations. America itself was built on a colony that left England to escape the religion they refused to follow and believe in. John Winthrop, a leading figure, claimed to see “the city upon a hill,” meaning this country, that colony, would be an example of religious tolerance. There is no such thing as “one true religion” and it will never be achieved while we live in the land of a variety of cultures, religions, and…
kept his strength after causing his own downfall. In a brief overview of the plot, Oedipus was born to a well-off family and disposed at birth, in fear of a prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother. He would be left to die in the hills but a messenger would deliver him to the palace of Corinth- raised by Lord Polypus and Queen Merope (Akhter, Muhammad, and…
From the quill of esteemed playwright, William Shakespeare, comes the comedy, Twelfth Night, a play often credited as one of the first to examine the complex dynamics of gender and how it is performed. In Act I, Scene V, Viola, dressed as Cesario, meets Olivia for the first time and begins to unravel the complex inner-workings of an interesting dynamic between the two of them. Following a beautiful deliverance of Duke Orsino’s message, Cesario improvises an eloquent speech about how he would…
there. With the superior assistance of Emilie, Voltaire was able to write and publish Elémens de la philosophie de Newton in 1738. This was a simplified guide to the scientist, making his advanced works more familiar to the people, including the gravity of the planets, the proof of atoms, and the refraction of light. Voltaire then recognized mow much he owed to Emilie for helping him with this masterpiece, so he made the frontispiece of the work showing him being touched by the divine light of…
In everyday life, we do not see boulders roll up hills spontaneously; some work must be put in to move a boulder against the pull of gravity. The Second Law provides an answer as to why these actions do not spontaneously occur, and why other actions do spontaneously occur. In a few words, the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the entropy…
The negative however far out weighs the good. Although they were good in giving an acquisition it is nearly impossible to get coyote hills to be a park and need to be changed. The people of Fullerton have been asking about the price and they still haven't answered. They were wondering what the price was so they can buy it but the commissioner said “price doesn't matter,” which can be…
“Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!” Those were the last words anyone heard from David Johnson. He had been closely monitoring a steaming, trembling snow-capped mountain near Vancouver, Washington. Mount St. Helens had not erupted in over 100 years. But two months earlier, an earthquake had jolted it to life. Homes were evacuated and roads were closed as hundreds of explosive blasts of steam burst from the volcano and earthquakes shook the area. Scientists knew that pressure was building up…
The irony of feeding the innocent human the idea of war to fulfil its hunger War never changes, the conflict brought about by human nature is timeless; this is evident in the commonalities found through the evaluation of “Harlem” by Langston Hughes, which was written during World War II , and “Out, Out” by Robert Frost, which was written during World War I. One of the major goals of human existence is to fulfil the human condition, and the human condition is not satisfied without constant…
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder caused by a defect in the gene that helps create the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. This enzyme helps to breakdown the amino acid phenylalanine; without this enzyme the levels of phenylketonuria (PKU) increases, this causes serious cognitive disabilities, hyperactivity, seizure, and abnormal small head (microcephaly) in infants, and small risk of brain damage.1 Phenylketonuria can affect pregnant women, babies, children and adults. Therefore, people…
in the Grand Canyon layers, which prove a flood created the canyons in days, not millions of years as evolutionist teach. First, evidence that takes away from evolution is that: evolutionists would have to believe that the Colorado River flowed up hill; the Colorado River is more than 4,000 below the elevation where the Colorado River meets the Grand Canyon. When you look at this through a creationist viewpoint, a massive amount of water came crashing into the land to forge valleys, the water…
