scientific research and as what many people have dubbed "The War on Science". Society and Science has butted heads throughout history from the science of genetics, to the shape of the world, even to something as simple as washing your hands to prevent the spread of germs. Society and Science has never been on the same page. We as society improved both technologically and efficiently yet why do we still deny and reject science? We live in a society where vaccinations and climate change is…

Drawing negative comparisons between science and religion we can say both have created war, starvation, and even disease in societies. germ warfare, atomic weapons, and toxic GMO foods is the flip side of the coin.

December 15th, 2013. This was the day I established the Science Leaders of Tomorrow, SLOT, in order to stimulate other students’ interest in science and math. With SLOT, I volunteered at a local elementary school with other students to teach the kids about science and engineering. I once helped a fifth grade student, Manny, who was struggling with circuits in his science class. After working closely with Manny for two weeks, he was able to use circuits to build and program a robot. The next time…

Rhetorical Analysis: The Danger of Science Denial It is important to appreciate the current nature and status of the world because there are individuals who laid the appropriate foundation for it.

1564 in Pisa, Italy. He died on January 8, 1642 in Arcetri somewhere near Florence Italy. “Galileo was and is seen as the ‘hero of modern science’” (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). The reason for this is because he made many discoveries and was known for his work as an engineer, philosopher and mathematician while playing a major role in science during the Renaissance. Galileo was the oldest child in his family, born in Pisa, Italy, but he later moved with his family to Florence.…

Scientist have transformed history with new discoveries. Phenomenal events that change the direction of science. Many scientific theories have caused conflict with the religious beliefs and values of some people. Galileo Galilei’s interest in optics and astronomy drove him to innovative discoveries, His confirmation of Copernicus theory of a heliocentric solar system, caused a clash between faith and science. This refuted Aristotle’s theory that the heavens were perfect and unchanging. The…

INTRODUCTION The relationship in the middle of religion and science has been a subject of study since established artifact, tended to by thinkers, scholars, researchers, and others. Points of view from various land locales, societies and chronicled ages are differing, with some portraying the relationship as one of contention, others depicting it as one of amicability, and others proposing little communication. Science recognizes reason, induction and confirmation while religious incorporate…

practice sciences, are looked down upon and neglected no matter what their ideas and discoveries are simply due to their gender? Well, in the 17th and 18th centuries women practiced in scientific research in many different fields, including, chemistry, astronomy, biology, etc. But, they were not treated with respect or acknowledged due to their gender. Most European universities and academies of science excluded women entirely, some did indeed allow women to hold professorships in science in…
