Intro: Thesis: In this paper I will defend my thesis that all things with a purpose must have an intelligent designer. I will do this by discussing my arguments that support my thesis and expelling any potential opposing arguments concerning them. If something plays a certain role it has a purpose and everything with a purpose was designed for that purpose, so all things with purpose are designed. To examine my argument and to establish that all things that play a role are designed, I have…
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…
spectrum. Evolution is based on facts, whereas creation is typically based on the belief that life, the Earth, and the universe were created by a very famous supernatural being, who goes by the name of 'God'. This belief is also commonly known as Intelligent Creation. It may be shocking to learn, but a recent poll of the National Academy of Science found that 95% of biologists are either agnostic or atheists. In our day and age, Evolution is being taught as an unquestionable fact which is being…
breads, biscuits, and muffins all use chemical leavening agents such as baking soda and an acid or baking powder. The acid and the base in the chemical leavening agent react to form CO2 that cause dough rising like yeast fermentation. Gluten free products use yeast and gums to help leaven the product and set its structure to trap CO2 bubbles. Gluten free products however typically do not rise as well as yeast or chemical leavening agent techniques because of the lack of elasticity formed by…
environmental concern in Vietnam. Most industrial areas do not have waste water treatment plants and, around Vietnam, only 14% of waste water is treated. This has resulted in the loss of many ecosystems. The war also had a great effect on the environment. Agent Orange was used as a defoliant, bulldozers were used to remove vegetation and topsoil, landslides were purposely created, melaleuca forests were burned and elephants were bombed. It is estimated that 20,000 square km of forest and…

Independent Publishing versus Traditional Publishing The stereotypical image of a writer ensconced in a garret, tucked far away from reality so that they can concentrate on creativity is a thing of the past. Whether you decide to publish through the traditional route or publish independently most authors will have to partake in marketing their works from bookshop signings, having a social media presence to school visits. Now that I am beginning to see my manuscript take shape it saddens me…
Flashback: Pearls and feathers, bobs and glamour! Reality: I was sitting at the very back of my poor excuse of a high school’s plain old, bland “English 4” class in Levi mom jeans, a cropped top, and Chuck Taylors; except I wasn’t. I wasn’t at all. (Take One): Pouncing upon my sister’s Macbook Air, I was on a written escapade away from the Upper West Side’s public school nightmare and, instead, running up and down the catwalk at New York’s Couture’s 1956 Fashion Show! In a riveting, platinum…
As part of the Vietnam war, the U.S. military sprayed 12.1 gallons of Agent Orange defoliant on trees and vegetation in Vietnam. This so-called toxic chemical is mixed with other varieties of herbicides used for removing trees and dense tropical foliage that provided cover the Vietnam troops. Much of agent orange contains dioxin, which is a highly dangerous and toxic chemical, known to cause “reproductive and developmental problems, disruption of the immune system, interference with hormones and…
interesting to see the progression of weapons from the early beginnings to now. Most people believe that chemical warfare agents were first introduced during the World Wars. Interestingly enough, the concepts of these agents were developed as early as 600 B.C. They weren’t known as chemical warfare agents however; the techniques that were used mimic the action of these agents that are being used today. During the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens, the Spartan army used a mixture of…
