Writing Assignment Number 1 The Big Bang Theory. Natural selection. Darwinism. Evolution is how all living organisms have been created and developed from the beginning of time until now. A very debatable topic in science classrooms all over is whether or not its is acceptable to teach evolution and the making of the universe in schools. Critics often argue that evolution should be taught in schools because it has more evidence than creationism. However it is extremely significant that…

Creationism vs. Evolution is a widely discussed topic that has been talked about for ages. People constantly dispute whether or not creationism or evolution are right, and which answers the commonly asked question how did we get here? Personally I support evolution over creationism, which will be explained later on in the essay. Supporters of creationism of mainly tend to be Christian or Catholic. Now there are a lot of religious people who are and aren't sensitive to this topic. Many of those…

As the years progress, scientists make scientific breakthroughs about evolution or creation. My main goal in this paper is to give 6 or more scientific facts and discoveries to help support my belief in creationism. My first scientific fact of creation is the development of intermediate species and how scientists have no fossil records of them. Intermediate species are one of the biggest arguments a creationist can give against an evolutionist. In intermediate species the argument is if one…

I don’t remember ever asking where it all came from. I grew up in what was, for the most part, a highly educated and progressive environment with little exposure to much else – I remember many happy hours spent with those glossy DK children’s books and I’m sure I came across early humans at some point – but I don’t know that I was aware of anything but evolution until middle school. I had been introduced to the creation story from the bible in school, but with it came various Native American…

Rhetorical critique of the article “Can life exist on other planets?” Danny Faulkner, the author of the article “Can life exist in other planets?”, attempts to answer this controversial question by arguing that the answer can only be derived from the ultimate validation of one of the two major theories of origin, creationist and evolutionist. He being his essay by making a distinction between the evolution of life and the origin of life, which he argues are completely different. The evolution…

What made Darwin stand out from the crowd was his ideas that took all supernatural factors, even God, in the design of the natural world. His ideas were simply evolution and the mechanism of natural selection. Darwin was a big follower of Paley’s work on Natural Theology, but Paley relied too heavily on supernatural factors. Darwin published his work On the Origin of Species in 1859, and in it contained the components of his theory of evolution. Coyne talks about the six components: evolution,…

Introduction I will be discussing the similarities and differences between uniformitarianism and Catastrophism. The debate on these being going on for years. Why these two theories are very different from each other. Catastrophic believe that there was a great worldwide flood. Uniformitarians believe that the world started from the Big Bang Theory. How old is the Earth thousands of years old or billions of years old. Both theories have their own compelling arguments on how…

In the traditional method of critical thinking, the goal is to find the right answer by discovering and ferreting out the wrong answers. Thus, in a multiple choice quiz, a student could determine that the correct answer was C by knowing that A, B, and D were incorrect. This student knows that, as Sherlock Holmes said, “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” To me, this quote sums up the premise of what Elbow refers to as the doubting…

Theistic evolution is one of three main origin of life world views. The other two are atheistic evolution (also commonly known as Darwinian evolution and naturalistic evolution) and special creation. Atheistic evolution states that there is no God and that life can and did materialize physically from already existing, non-living beginning accumulations of matter under the power of natural laws (like gravity, etc), although the beginning of those natural laws is not justified. Special creation…

Throughout this course, we were exposed to many ideas about organism classification due to evolutionary linkages, survival of the fittest and random out comes. Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory often creates conflicts with religious teachings in particular, Christianity; many Christians disagree with Darwin’s theory that “man is not the most supreme creature on earth, but humans just evolved from a single cell over long periods of time.” Faith is intangible; it could simply be a belief.…
