It is no secret that Americans lag behind other countries in math and science achievement. While various forms of referendum have been proposed to address the insatiable ranking, valid progress is yet to be achieved. In 2009, President Obama set a goal for Americans: advance to the top of achievement rankings in science and math. Additionally, in order to further ignite participation, the Administration allocated “$4.35 billion Race to the Top 2009 competition focused not only on encouraging…

Experiments are by definition in the glossary, “a deliberate manipulation of a variable to see if corresponding changes in behavior result, allowing the determination of cause and effect relationships”. To put this term in simple terms, we use experiments to purposely make changes in a study to get accurate results. In the hypothesis talking on a cell phone impairs driving skill it is highly important to follow the crucial protocol to make an efficient experiment. In an experiment there are two…

Graphology is the study of the brains expression through an individuals handwriting. It is often referred to as a pseudoscience as it does not have the distingushible aspects of a legitimate science such as using observation and experimentation to try and prove it wrong also to ensure that the researchers do not only try and find evidence to prove it. Meanwhile, Pseudoscience’s tend to ignore conflicting evidence. The scientific paper titled “ Does Graphology Predict Personality and…

Imagine being told that you are receiving treatment for an illness when in actuality the scientists are studying how the disease spreads and kills. This was a reality for 400 black men from Macon County Alabama. This is one example of why it is imperative to have Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). There is a need for regulating studies because causing damage to people not worth the possible benefits of a study. Researchers should only have freedom if their experiment is if there the harm is as…

Evolution is merely a scientific theory and its explanations are locked within the domain of science. Faith however, can answer theological questions and provide insight where science cannot. The genesis narrative account if interpreted symbolically, one can decipher aspects of the kingdom of God. This theme perhaps starts in genesis, as God infuses within humanity the five characteristics…

Biology, the science of life or living matter in all its forms…especially with reference to origin, growth, reproduction, structure, and behavior is a subject that school districts learn from childhood education throughout high school. Within learning the sciences and adapting to today’s society with technology being used, past theories are currently used in childhood elementary schools…

Energy is the ability to cause changes in matter or the ability to do work. Modern civilization thrives because people have learned how to change energy from one form to another. They use the changed energy to complete work. We use energy to move cars along roads and boats through water, to cook food on stoves, to make ice in freezers, and to light our homes. We use energy for everything! Generating energy means converting energy from one form into another. For example, a popcorn machine…

In “Building Baby from the Genes Up”, Ronald Green argues that investing time and consolidating in genomic science and gene technology will lessen diseases, boost lifespan, improve cognitive functioning, and perhaps contribute to cosmetics enhancements, such as orthodontics. Green addresses the common concerns many people have such as; genetic selection on parenting, being made for the use our substantial genes, the social division will increase. and religious connotation of this technology.…

I aim to explore what is needed in order to be human. Can we turn to science for an answer? Some paleoanthropologists identify the category of the human with the species Homo sapiens, others equate it with the whole genus Homo, some restrict it to the subspecies Homo sapiens, and a few take it to encompass the entire hominin lineage. These differences of opinion are not due to a scarcity of evidence. They are due to the complete absence of what sort of evidence can settle the question of which…

The brain and the mind are a puzzling union because scientists disagree on whether or not the mind is imaginary or real. There are three positions most psychologists take on the topic of brain and mind connections being dualism, monism, or perspectivalism. Some scientists support dualism which is the notion that says the brain and body are separate, because the body is physical while thoughts and emotions are not. This view is widely supported by Christians because it distinguishes between the…
