Universe

Much of the world believes that God is nonexistent. Much of society deems the splendor and majesty of creation to be nothing more than a coincidence. In A Designed Universe, author Robert C. Newman, Ph.D., covers four topics: The Right Chemistry, The Right Environment, The Right Universe, and finally, Explaining the Design. In those four sections, Dr. Newman describes the perfection of God’s creation, and how life would not exist had it been created even slightly differently. From the amount…

The universe as we know it is constantly changing, adapting, and molding itself right before our eyes. With such little knowledge about the universe and how it works, scientists for almost a millennium have been working to provide answers to some of the mysteries of the universe. How did human beings come into existence? Is there other life in our galaxy? These are just two examples of questions researchers’ debate often but unfortunately to this day in the 21st century are still not able to…

Are we alone in the universe? It is a question that many people have asked but no one has been able to answer as of yet but the proof is coming. It is statistically highly improbable that we can be the only life in this vast universe. There are trillions upon trillions of stars in the known universe and each has its own solar system so the odds of finding life are far from impossible. Just last year, NASA's Keppler mission comfirmed the first near-Earth-size planet in the "habitable zone" of a…

Are we alone in the universe? Are we, human beings, the only living beings in the universe? Are there others out there? There are many questions that can be asked regarding life beyond our planet. Whether or not we are alone in this life has been a question the human race has been asking since the very beginning. We constantly question our own existence, as well as the possible existence of other intelligent species. Among the questions asked are, have we been visited by them? do they live among…

I take a look at the Universe and at first glance I see a magnificent entity “revolving on a noisy, creaking pivot” (Fitzgerald pg. 31) so grand in scale that nothing can ever be compared to it. This universe is home to human existence and when I look through our “troubled history and sympathize[d] with the brave struggles” (Fitzgerald pg. 66) of those who have come before and their actions. With every good deed that they committed there comes an equal evil action that accompanies it and evens…

Man Isn’t Center of the Universe Anymore? Before the sixteenth century, the common knowledge of astronomy was based off the Pythagoras, Aristotle, and the Ptolemaic model. They said the Earth was the center of the universe and everything, including the sun, planets, and the heavenly spheres rotated about its center. Aristotle established the principle that there were only seven planets considered wandering stars: Earth, moon, sun, Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter. Anything besides these stars…

42: The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything: Existentialism in the Hitchhikers Guide In a world without meaning, what are we to do? Aliens, humans, existential robots, and pan-galactic beings, all ask some version of the above question in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and none of them is ever provided an answer except for “42”. Although there is no ultimate answer to the purpose of life, these creatures all react differently in the face of nothingness. While some choose to bemoan…

mysteries of the universe in someone's hand". An American poet/author by the name of "Benjamin Alire Sáenz" wrote these words in his book Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. Christians strongly have faith in this statement, and that the hand holding all the mysteries of the universe, is God's hand. In fact, Christianity gives compelling and powerful answers to the biggest mysteries such as Origin, Meaning, Morality and Destiny. Origin: Where do the Universe and Human…

the same type. At this given time, 116 elements are known, and roughly about 90 of these occur naturally. But how do we know what elements are in our universe?, Scientists have developed many theories as to why and how we know. These theories consist of mainly the Big Bang Theory and how it had created the first and lightest elements in our universe, or Red giants(Dying stars) because as the dying star’s core begins to run out of hydrogen it begins to die and create carbon atoms as a result of…

be human nature or the physical environment, leaving no room for characters or a higher being to manipulate their chosen destiny. In his works, “The Open Boat” (1897), “A Dark Brown Dog” (1901), and “A Man Said to the Universe” (1899), Stephen Crane explains the disregard the universe has for humanity and the forces of fate that lead humans to their rightful destiny. Edith Wharton, with her novels “Ethan Frome” (1911) and “Age of Innocence” (1920), exhibits accounts of men with similar…
