Science is helpful when it comes to understanding the natural world and its’ mysterious wonders. Ever since I was in elementary school, science has always been utilized to help one understand how things work and why. As we all know, the Big Bang Theory is used to educate students about how the earth and the universe was created. Yet, I got extremely frustrated because I was told that God created the earth and all the living things that exist. And truly this is where I begin my journey with science and my religion. Back when I was in kindergarten, my teacher, Mrs.Rollins, taught us how to make play dough. I remember having so much fun mixing the powder and liquids to form a squeezable solid. When I got off the bus stop, I ran to hug my parents, …show more content…
I enjoyed doing labs and writing in my all black composition notebook. Also, I fell in love with Biology class in 6th grade. Mrs. McMahon was my teacher and she was fun, assertive, and kind.What amazed about this teacher was the fact that she had no children. She said she did not enjoy kids, but she owned a golden retriever. Biology in 6th grade was my favorite class. I enjoyed learning about the creation of life. Mrs. McMahon did an experiment with a dead frog. She wanted us to observe the internal anatomy of the frog. I was a little disturbed when we had a female. As we dissected around its’ stomach, we found about 20 eggs. I was a bit sad to discover that we were dissecting a future frog mom. The other experiment we did was a pig heart. She told us that a pig’s heart is similar to a human's. Back then, we were experimenting with real animals because as a 6th grader one starts to question certain things. She let us dissect a pig’s heart, in order for us to understand the anatomy of the heart and the way it works. In fact, I was thrilled when she announced that we would be experimenting with owl pellets. She demonstrated us that some owls may eat an entire animal leaving all the bones in their pellet. For a fact, I remember her creating a worksheet, so we could write down the the kind of bone and how many. My group had an owl pellet that contained feathers, bird bones and rat bones. I was amazed that we were able to see bird and rat bones in a owl feces. Certainly, Mrs. McMahon was a fantastic biology teacher. I found out that she was going to instruct freshman biology at McIntosh High School. By then I was a Senior in high school, and I was taking Microbiology with Mrs. Cannon. Indeed, I also was a fond of Microbiology. Microbiology went in depth with the various microorganisms that are too small for the naked eye. For our last day of class, Mrs. Cannon allowed to choose a fun experiment.
My favorite class during seventh grade was English, only because my teacher did not make me do too much writing. Towards the end of the year, she made the class write a book and it was really a fun assignment. I had to write a few short texts, ranging from poems to a short story. The short story was my favorite to write, as I got to write about a fun trip I took with my family. I also had to create illustrations for my writings, which made it easier for me and others to understand. Images helped me understand what the writings were to be about, it helped me see what was to happen without actually reading the
Mrs. Schuette was the teacher who made me want to become a teacher. She showed me how much of a difference I could make in my students’ lives. She also helped me find opportunities to start my teaching career by helping with the kids in the special education program in my high school. This gave me the opportunity to be caring, warm, and become interested in the total well-being of the students I worked
...on are used by all people to try to explain the world. Some people believe that science explains life with true facts, and some people believe in a supernatural god who created the world and all life in it. Either way, people use these ideas to explain why they are here on this earth and what their purpose is.
Religion and science are complementary elements to our society. The notion that religion and science should not be merged together, does not mean neglecting to understand the parallel relation between these two concepts and will result in a better understanding of our surroundings. This will put an end to our scientific research and advancement because we will be relying on answers provided by religious books to answer our questions. If we don’t argue whether these answers are right or wrong, we would never have studied space stars or the universe or even our environment and earthly animals. These studies have always provided us with breakthroughs, inventions and discoveries that made our lives better.
Many atheists have used science as a way to disapprove the existence of God. Science is not an accurate way of disapproving the existence of God(2). Scient...
While some people may believe that science and religion differ drastically, science and religion both require reason and faith respectively. Religion uses reason as a way of learning and growing in one’s faith. Science, on the other hand, uses reason to provide facts and explain different hypotheses. Both, though, use reason for evidence as a way of gaining more knowledge about the subject. Although science tends to favor more “natural” views of the world, religion and science fundamentally need reason and faith to obtain more knowledge about their various subjects. In looking at science and religion, the similarities and differences in faith and reason can be seen.
As stated by Prescott, Harley and Klein (1990) microbiology is the study of organisms that are usually too small to be seen with the naked eye.
Science and Religion Working Hand in Hand “Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals.” (Martin Luther King Jr).
Science is an approach by which scientists relate things to each other and explain the main concepts that govern the very laws that they derive. [Gauch, 2003]
When considering the basis for the understanding of both science and religion it is interesting to distinguish that both are based on an overwhelming desire to define a greater knowledge, and comprehension of the universe that surrounds us. Now while, science has based its knowledge of experimental basis, researcher, and scholarly work; religion
Science is the observation of natural events and conditions in order to discover facts about them and to formulate laws and principles based on these facts. Academic Press Dictionary of Science & Technology --------------------------------------------------------------------- Science is an intellectual activity carried on by humans that is designed to discover information about the natural world in which humans live and to discover the ways in which this information can be organized into meaningful patterns. A primary aim of science is to collect facts (data).
Science is everywhere; you always see it in every day life. Like when you get a ride to school from your parents, watch TV, talk on the phone, and listen to music, that’s using science. When you pass buildings science was used to build them.
Science and the study of religion have existed in society for hundreds of years and have agreed and disagreed on many of the same topics. When it comes to solving problems and figuring out complex phenomena we can use both science and the study religion to get answers. While religious studies are not intended to solve problems it can be used and is used just like science to solve problems we have in society. Science is based more on reason and evidence while religion is based more on philosophical ideas and faith. Science is meant to answer problems that require reason and evidence while religion is not.
Although science is definitely a method of obtaining knowledge, when it comes to explaining the universe and human experience, it has both strengths and weaknesses in comparison to other explanations such as art and religion.
All these doubts could not be answered on their own. Some people had to do research on specific subjects, they had to observe them and after a lot of work on it they had to present the results. They got experience in resolving problems of humanity and so science appeared. Nowadays, science is involved in every aspect of our life, even in subjects that we can not imagine. We can see remarkable examples of scientific achievements in technology and also in society, but they will be analyzed in the next chapters.
