Logical Explanation Hundred Thousand
1,136 words
A basic argument used by creationists is that
evolution is "only a theory and cannot be proven.
" This creationist argument is based on the false
assumption that the only way to "prove" evolution
is for someone to actually observe large
evolutionary changes, for example birds evolving
from dinosaurs. Since this can't be accomplished
in a few lifetimes, creationists claim that
"proving" evolution is impossible. This argument
totally ignores the enormous amount of factual
data that supports the po...

... nd obscurity. Today, the name of Lamarck is
associated merely with a discredited theory of
heredity, the "inheritance of acquired traits. "
However, Charles Darwin, Lyell, Haeckel, and other
early evolutionists acknowledged him as a great
zoologist and as a forerunner of evolution. Would
Lamarck have agreed with Darwin? That is the
question. Since Lamarck believe that creatures
willed themselves to change, he would have felt
that the moths felt the need to change. He may
have supported natur...

Media nowadays is considered a window for learning
and is also considered to be our main window to
the world. Media has evolved from simple text in
papers, to voices in radios, to voices with
pictures in television and movies, to the very

With each new development in science comes
conflict, mostly from those who don't believe that
science follows the teachings of their religion or
allies with their beliefs in an almighty power or
God. Looking back in history at some of the great
names in human scientific achievement, such as
Copernicus, Galileo, and Darwin, we see that with
each genius discovery came some outcry from
religious groups. Nikolaus Copernicus was one of
the first pioneers of science. Until 1540 science
had long been a...

... es, that it attaches us; thus Durkheim denied
that it was a true social link, and repeated his
argument that all such links derived from likeness
have progressively weakened. If society itself is
to survive, therefore, there must be some other
"true social link" which replaces it, and this, of
course, is organic solidarity, the product of the
division of labor. But if the way in which men are
linked together has thus evolved from mechanical
to organic solidarity, there should be parallel

Biological Evolution Charles Darwin

Adaptation and Evolution Abstract Though the
theories on biological evolution have reached
modifications through the years, in order to
eliminate its errors, still many people find it
not so convincing. Nevertheless, these theories
brought changes on how some people, especially
among scientists, perceive how evolution occurred.
Furthermore, the ideas of Charles Darwin regarding
natural selection could lead organisms to overcome
any environmental alterations in the universe in
the years to come. ...

Evolution vs. Creationism The fact that science
and religion are two mutually excluding categories
has been clearly illustrated, throughout the
history. After Christianity became a an official
religion in Rome, the ancient ideals of beauty and
perfection, embodied in classical Greek and Roman
sculptures, yielded to midgets, hunchbacks,
lunatics and impotent's. The same thing happened
in the intellectual domain, as well. Ancient

its notions, was r...

Darwin's Theory vs. Christian View Darwin's theory
of evolution is sometimes called plausible. That
is because it influenced much the traditional
beliefs. Before Darwin there were some doubts
concerning the origin of humanity and life. Before
Darwin Church and religions of all kinds gave
their explanation of how the world was created and
towards what end it was heading. After Charles
Darwin presented his theory in 1859, the seed of
doubt was sowed. After Darwin, Church and religion

The majority of people in this world believe that

most religions and cultures believe the universe

Think of it, as a trial to see which will win,

Big Bang Theory Million Years Ago

In my short life on this planet I have come to
question things that many take upon blind faith.
We all know that we must some day die; yet we
continuously deny the forces at work inside
ourselves, which want to search out the answers of
what may or may not come after. It is far easier
for humanity to accept that they will go to a safe
haven and be rewarded for their lives with
pleasures and fantasies of an unfathomable scale
than to question the existence of a supposed
omnipotent being. Yet, the...

After debating all of the presented theories I
have come to two realizations about creation and
the theories relating to it. My first realization
was that I find the framework theory the most
likely of all the theories because it was the
theory with the least holes in it. My second
realization was that if all of us agreed on the
main points of Genesis (God created the earth, all
things are special to Him, He is sovereign over
all things, ect) then it really does not make a
difference how it was ...

Cultural Evolution Biological Evolution

Cultural evolution began to occur during the most
recent Ice Age, or within the last hundred or
fifty thousand years. This is when the tools thats
are used for sophisticated hunting are found; for
example the spear thrower, the fully barbed
harpoon, and the flint master tools that were used
to make all the hunting tools. Cultural evolution
took shape because man had the flexibility of mind
to recognize inventions and to turn them into
community property. The Ice Ages forced man to
depend less on...

Human Evolution: the water theory. Elaine Morgan
The crucial question about human evolution is why
humans differ so strikingly from the African apes
despite their close genetic relationship. Most
Darwinists would agree that such differences are
usually attributable to differing environmental
pressures; and hence that our ancestors at some
stage probably occupied a significantly different
habitat from the ancestor of the gorilla and the
chimpanzee. For the last half-century it has been
generally ...

On the Theory of Evolution Whether it is Lamarck+s
theory that evolution is driven by an innate
tendency towards greater complexity, Darwin+s
theory of natural selection, or the belief that
the evolution of plant and animal life is
controlled by a higher being, the process of
evolution cannot be denied. Archaeological
investigations have proven that species evolve
over time, but the unanswered questions are |How?

Force Of Gravity White Dwarf

Although they are tiny in size, white dwarfs have
played a great role in astronomy. These compact
stars are very different from familiar objects
like our sun. They also pose a seemingly endless
series of puzzles, whose solutions provide new
insights into many areas of physics and astronomy.
To unravel a wide variety of phenomena such as
cataclysmic variables (novae, dwarf novae),
planetary nebulae, and some types of supernova, we
have to understand white dwarfs. These stars may
