Source Of Energy Earths Surface
683 words
All life on Earth depends on energy from the sun.
Solar energy is the source of energy for

evaporate and form clouds that eventually provide
fresh rainwater. Solar energy is the result of
thermonuclear fusion reactions deep within the
sun. These reactions produce so much energy that
they keep the surface temperature of the sun at
about 10, 300 B 0 F. Eve...

In both The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Hebrew
Bible, the humans are constantly coming into
contact with supreme beings; weather they are
polytheistic or monotheistic. Each book describes
its own God, or gods and goddesses, in different
manners. In Gilgamesh the gods and goddesses are
more personal with the humans and guide them on
their way. Where as God in the Bible is more of an
observer who contacts only those he wants to save.
It seems to me that the deities in Gilgamesh are
more willing to h...
