“Does God begin where science ends?” is a question Professor John Lennox begins his speech with. It is remarkable that science and God has become one the most discussed debate in the world, but at the end of the day, science is not at war with God. This debate is fuelled by two opposite worldviews, atheistic materialism and theistic views (Christian views). Professor John Lennox goes on to say in his speech that science has rendered atheism irrelevant and that he sees science and religion…

X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a Professor at Wuerzburg University in Germany. While working with a cathode-ray tube in his laboratory, Roentgen observed a fluorescent glow of crystals on a table near his tube. In the past, people were unaware of how harmful x-rays are, because they are invisible. Scientists and researchers working in the radiography field were not aware of the effect on the body after continuous exposure. When radiography was in its infancy, it was…

What makes somebody a cyborg? In today’s society science has evolved to new heights than ever before. With this evolution we see an entire new wave of technology being used to help people in revolutionary ways. The current definition for a cyborg is “a person whose physiological functioning is aided by or dependent upon a mechanical or electronic device.” (cyborg Def. 1). However, in our beloved Eastern Commonwealth we have grown to define them as something different. Instead of looking at…

those who take the challenge in transforming it into a popular manner. The sophisticated science reports use a variety of vocabulary unknown to the majority of the populations. Scientific terms and other writing structures specialized in the description of scientific reports make it difficult to understand for beginning scholars who do not have a sufficient amount of background information in the realms of sciences, so what changes in word structure occur to assist them? Journalists take the…

The following study was to determine if good intentions can possibly sooth pain, increase pleasure and even make things taste better (Gray, 2012, p.659). Three experiments all of which used a experimental groups, were taken place to determine three different aspects can contribute to answer the questions if whether intentions can contribute to pain while physical experience can also be sensitive to positive intentions (Gray, 2012, p. 659). Each experiment had different details the experimenters…

The idea of “collaboration” and the ideas present in the book can help solve the technical, technological and social ingenuity gaps. At the beginning of the book, the author explain that they can solve the social ingenuity gap, but the last chapter that we had focused on (which was “Techno-Hubris”), the author mainly discussed issues on the technical and the technological ingenuity gaps. As we looked further in the book, the author give us valid examples of each ingenuity gap that make his…

Revision Faith vs. Fact: Can Religion and Science Coincide? Evolution. In my case I learned about this concept in elementary school biology, then in middle school, again in high school, and now it is once again reiterated in my college level classes. In the past, the theory of Evolution and the concepts relating to it were just another part of the curriculum I needed to learn in order to get a good grade. It was something that we were taught as basically being fact, a viable explanation as to…

The Role of Psychology in Science There is a reason why we have a vast array of divisions within the world of psychology. Whether it’s from Child Psychology to Adult Development and Aging or from Military Psychology to Rehabilitation Psychology, there seems to be a study of the mind for almost anything and everything that we do in our lives. These divisions, along with 50 other subfields of psychology, branch out and interconnect with the other disciplines creating a network that sources from…

Have you ever tried to carry on a conversation with somebody but they are too busy texting or playing on their phone or device in hand? Have you ever been ignored by a friend to “hang out” because they were too busy playing a video game? Technology is growing at a faster rate than it ever has before with new devices such as smartphones, laptops, televisions, etc. The real question though is; are we depending on it too much? Scientists and even our everyday, ordinary person is coming up with new…

the transformation of matter has progressed from a vague, philosophical Greek definition to the European Enlightment modern understanding of matter and ending with Dalton’s universally accepted “Atomic Theory”. Although this fundamental aspect of science isn’t necessarily any more complex than the nature of physics or description of cosmological bodies, the inability to visually see matter with the naked eye has made it more difficult to scientifically define throughout history.…
