Studying human remains dating back more than 5,000 years ago is typically quite difficult. Although Otzi’s, also known as “iceman”, remains are over 5,000 years old, archaeologists are able to perform an autopsy him due to to the fact he was frozen in ice. When Otzi died he had fallen down the Italian Alps landing him in an advancing glacier. The glacier had preserved his body in ice so well that archaeologists were able to extract DNA, pollen, and tissue samples to find out about his origin,…

This article is related to week 3 labeled “Human Population Grown” The world seems to be moving towards overpopulation and has achieved a milestone in early 2012.

A. Current population is the amount of people taking up a space at an immediate time, on the other hand projected population is the expected future number of people in a place. Current and projected population growth will become dramatically different in the coming years. The current population of the world right now is about 7 billion, but by 2050 world population is expected to rise to almost 10 billion people! In the region of Europe, out of its 14 countries, they have a combined current…

First, I wanted to cover maps as an intellectual technology that has changed the way people think. The progression of maps to where they are today can be illustrated and is closely paralleled by childhood cognitive development. Maps, like a child’s development, went from a “egocentric, purely sensory perception of the world to… [a] abstract and objective analysis of experience.” It also caused society to go from a purely sensory observation of the world to a more abstract and objective view of…

The Book of Genesis is a book concerning beginnings. Part of Genesis describes the creation of the world in order. God creates the universe first. Then He brings light and dark, the sky and seas, the land and plants. After that, the sun, moon and stars, the birds and the fish, animals and humanity are created. The purpose of God of having created humankind is found in Genesis 1:27 that says: “So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created…

Discoveries about dark matter, high-speed gas clouds, and a small disk around the core are now leading scientists to a new understanding of how our galaxy formed and the way it works, by John S. Gallagher III, Rosemary Wyse, and Robert Benjamin. Our understanding of the Milky Way has come a long way from the time people wove a story about the milk of a goddess spilled across the heavens. About 400 years ago, Galileo Galilei aimed a primitive telescope toward that area and wrote that through it…

action themselves. This relates to our previous reading of Pope Francis book “Praise Be to You” as the people of these churches are not just warning people of the dangers of climate change, but are taking actions. It also shows that taking care of the Earth is something humans should do because it is taught through the Bible, making spreading awareness of the issue of climate change and inspiring people to take action is a manner the church should be involved in. The article strongly shows that…

to verify the creation account, so our understanding of what took place is given to us in God’s revelation to man, which is His holy Word. One need not go any further than the first verse to understand that it is God who created the heavens and the earth. It is in verse 2 where the controversy of what took place next occurs. There are many different views that have been postulated including the gap theory. This view will be examined in detail and the conclusion will be made that it does not…

In the land of Meteora, the gods were known as failures. They were banished from Olympia. Their city loomed with dark clouds that were there for eternity.Not even a streak of delicate sun could streak through these clouds. The gods there grew to be gloomy and expressionless gods who hope to die. The city lurks with the scent of death. The town`s people`s eyes have lost colour. The eyes of the people of Meteora is a stale, hopeless grey. The citizens of Meteora were giving up, and they were…

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your favorite things in the world would one day just disappear with no trace of their remains? The beauties of the Last Frontier, otherwise known as Alaska, are slowly disappearing and leaving no remnants. Each year, the ice grows thinner and thinner and arrives much later. Not too long before the beauty, which we have in our own backyard, will soon disappear. This past summer I went on a trip to Alaska with my family, and this magical state has a…
