Reason Series Paragraphs For the first segment of the Reason Series the topic of conversation revolves around one main question “Can science disprove God?” and all the little questions that go along with it. After watching the video, the most convincing answer I took away from the segment’s essential question “Can science disprove God?” was the idea that science can never truly disprove anything. It struck me profoundly for I had never realized that although someone could go to every planet,…

their curiosity. But why did traveling help these scientists gain the answers to their questions? With the three different readings that would be mentioned, the English, Dutch, and Spanish had similarly used a system as their way of spreading their sciences: trade and communication. However, the English relied on immigrants joining their communities, the Dutch relied on their trade routes and diverse community…

One of the goals of Wilhelm Dilthey’s Introduction to the Human Sciences is to answer whether the philosophy of history can provide knowledge of socio-historical reality as a whole. The philosophy of history is a theory that attempts to know the interconnectedness of historical reality through a correspondence with the unity of interconnected propositions (Dilthey, pg. 142). Gaining knowledge of the interconnectedness of the whole of history is his distinctive task, and he comes to the…

The world today is increasingly dependent on science and technology (S&T) and the question of gender and S&T becomes even more pertinent. We not only require people to contribute to the growth of S&T, we require that they understand the impact of S&T on our lives and use its products effectively. That worldwide there is a trend of fewer women participating in the growth of S&T is worrisome, as it prevents inclusive perspectives. Education is viewed as a panacea for the imbalances and a…

knowledge. The pursuit of knowledge regards how the individual gains/seeks shared knowledge. So to what extent does the knower’s reliability shape the pursuit for shared knowledge? Religion is typically a devotion thing creating emotion. Natural Science however was based off of scientists reasons causing a bias. And Mathematics which is based off of facts and being named an universal language. In the religion of Islam for example, Muslims are to live off the the moral principles of the five…

psychology is surrounded by hypothesis testing. The argument that psychology is not a science expresses that the mind is not precisely observable. I do not agree with this rebuttal as the full definition encompasses the “scientific study of mind and behavior.” (Psychology Textbook) I have learned that experimentation is key to understanding the complexity of the human mind. Psychology is both a biological and social science. Psychology studies…

Let’s look at the scientific analysis of what crop circles are and their function. There is little scientific information as to what the function of the crop circles. The most relevant evidence suggests that crop circles are manmade (Feder, 2014). They are created by placing a rod and then using rope or string to a board which is then used to flatten the plants (Nickell…

Historical Conflicts of Science and Religion Evolutionary biology is a relatively modern scientific subject which has appeared to rouse great conflict with organized religion. This paper seeks to use properties of NOMA to dispel the alleged conflict between science and religion, and it will also attempt to pinpoint how such conflicts may be prevented. To accomplish this, the definitions of science & religion will be clarified, the feud between evolutionary biology and religion will be discussed…

personal relationship. However, part of the reason it is valued so highly is because of how difficult a virtue it is to maintain. In few places is integrity more highly valued than in the scientific community. With no integrity, the various fields of science would most likely deteriorate into a culture of corruption, causing skewed experimental results, setback in progress, failure to spread knowledge, and a lapse of the public trust in scientists. The young scientist starting out in his…

The Role of Forensic Science in Mass Disasters Mass disasters are an all too familiar reality. The cause of such occurrences can be natural or human influence. Natural disaster include hurricanes, tornados, and volcanos amongst other occurrence (Sudoyo, Widodo, Suryadi, Lie, Safari, Widjajanto, Kadarmo, 2008). Un-natural, or those occurring due to human involvement, are bombings, plane crashes, or mass shootings. Mass disasters usually require extensive logistical support (Prinz, Carracedo,…
