Life Goal God
596 wordsEach of us has a goal in life. One may be consciously aware of its existence- it may have been articulated or it may be implicit, but none the less it is there, just below the surface, and can be retrieved and made explicit when we are asked about it. This goal however, does not complete the causal link between belief and behavior- something else is at work and at a much deeper level. This is a desire that is so spread out and so elusive in form that it remains untouched by the intellect. But it...

An interesting note is that three different sheep were involved in producing Dolly, versus the usual two or one (in-vitro fertilization). Furthermore, the Roslin scientists used three different breeds for each sheep to prove tha...

Noting that a subject S may arrive at the belief that p via m...

Degas, only two years his junior, had yet to show anything like the same originality, and at the 1865 Salon exhibited a hopelessly dull, hopelessly conventional historical painting entitled The Evils befalling the City of Orleans. The fact remains that there is richness in Degas personality that Manet's lacks. A gentleman painter, a man about town, Manet only skimmed the surface of some of...

A clone is an organism derived asexually from a single individual by cutting, bulbs, tubers, fission or parthenogenesis reproduction. Parthenogenesis reproduction is the development of an organism from an unfertilized ovum, seed or a spore. Hence, cloning, biologically speaking, is any process in which production of a clone is successful. Thus, the biological term cloning is the production of genetically identical d...
