Science and technology: without them, it would be impossible to improve the world and sharpen life. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein occurs in a world before advanced technological developments, yet philosophy is endured. After falling in love with the nature of the sciences, Victor Frankenstein paves his own pathway of creation and creates his own being in a sickening way. This form of creation is becoming a popular research topic in today’s world, and since the science field is dramatically…

Forensic Sciences: the History, the Advancements, and the Achievements Could you get away with murder? Hundreds of years ago you probably could, but today with all the advancements that have been made in technology and forensic science many of the toughest cases are solved that couldn’t be before. While forensic science might not always be 100% accurate, it has developed a lot since it was first practiced and without using forensic science a lot of crimes would go unsolved. Forensic science…

An Analysis of & critical response to Alvin Plantiga’s EAAN In the book Science and Religion: are they compatible? Plantiga seeks to establish the idea that theism is perfectly compatible with modern science, which he does rather successfully in his argument against Daniel Dennet. He accomplishes this by addressing one of the most controversial subjects in the Science-Religion relationship, evolution. Alvin sets about this in several ways, one of which is by showing that there is no conflict…

procreation into manufacture" ("Leon Kass"). But cloning can help in medicine like organ transplants and producing drugs. Cloning has many negatives that need to be accounted for, but the positives are so beneficial that cloning should be used in science. Organisms that are genetically a copy of another organism are clones ("What is Cloning?"). These organisms are produced from a single cell (Miller and Levine). Clones can be produced naturally,…

Shelley’s Frankenstein: Science, Science Fiction, or Autobiography? In this evaluation, I will consider Sherry Ginn’s assessment that while the novel contains autobiographical details, it is actually a work of science fiction. Sherry Ginn, an Assistant Professor of Psychology and the Director of Women’s Studies at Wingate University in North Carolina, relates the many similarities in the Mary Shelley’s personal life and her novel Frankenstein.

brain and mind has ushered in a host of new disciplines, set to unveil some of the mysterious processes of the brain. Cognitive science, in particular, is an interdisciplinary area of study - combining psychology, anthropology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, and philosophy – that focuses on the mind. A subdivision of cognitive science, called the cognitive science of religion, explores the connection between religious experience and the mind. As Christians, we must critically…

cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy. He overcame many struggles and changed the way people look at the heavens. Galileo was one of the first to use the scientific method and many historians credit him for being the “founder of modern experimental science”. Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was the eldest of seven children born to Vincenzo Galilei who was a well-known musician and skilled mathematician, and Giulia Ammannati who was educated and came from a noble…

The science versus religion controversy is one in which I believe will continue on until the end of time. Dr. Charlie Townes, a Christian man and renowned scientist, considers the parallels of the two demonstrate they are fated to eventually unite (Townes, 1966). Many view science and religion as two completely separate realms, which are fundamentally different and pursue truth in distinctively unlike ways. On the religious front, many hold firm to their faith and historical beliefs; whereas,…

Forensic Analysis: Art or Science? Forensic analysis (often referred to as forensic science) is the application of science to legal matters and crime solving chemistry. There are many issues regarding this “science,” such as whether it is a “science” at all. Forensic analysis is more of an art than a science. There are many scientific methods and procedures involved with forensic analysis, but with the somewhat large possibility of human error affecting the results, and considering the…

The interest in forensic science started when I was in middle school. Originally when my father constantly had crime shows on t.v., I was annoyed and uninterested in the shows. After a while though I decided to just watch the show, and the more I did that, the more I enjoyed the shows. My favorite at the time was the show NCIS. The specific person that got me interested in forensic science was Abby Sciuto from the same show, NCIS. To be a forensic scientist, you need to have a skill set…
