The news December 5th brought to our ears, the news that Steven had died, was news none of us were expecting, at least not yet.

President Bush, the night of the September 11th attacks, addressed the nation in order to comfort, reassure, and install hope within the lives of the American people. Bush, conscious of his audience, used Aristotle’s Three Ways to Persuade, to aide him in his goal to influence the nation on several levels. The use of logos, ethos and pathos, enabled him to convey a sense of security and confidence throughout America and the rest of the world. ARISTOTLE’S MODES OF PERSUASION Ancient…

Today’s most infamous religion, Islam, has many scientific allusions present in the Quran and the Hadiths (traditions/sayings of the prophet Muhammad). One of these allusions is present in the Quran describing the development of the embryo [23:14] “Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation.
