Once upon a time, I was walking around until I bumped into this weird looking room thing. I went inside and noticed that it was a time machine. Since I was learning how the earth was made in science, I decided to go back in time to where it all started. I set the options to 5 billion years ago and then I clicked go. The machine took me there in a flash. At that exact time the sun was being made. I observed that there were dust and rocks flying around everywhere around the sun. After watching it for a while, it got boring so I decided to go to when the earth was made. That was probably more interesting. I set the options to 4 and a half billion years ago and clicked go. There were rocks, pulling together to form the earth. Water vapor was all around the time …show more content…
Then, I left and went back to 460 million years ago. That was around the time when the ozone layer was formed. There was gas that was forming a blanket around the earth. I knew the ozone was meant to absorb the pollution. There was nothing fun there so I decided to fast forward to when life happens in 400 million years ago. I was near the water when I noticed that there were fish evolving! It looked so cool. I am witnessing the first fish that ever formed. When I was finished watching that, I decided to go to the time when plants blossom. When I got there, I saw each plant grow bit by bit. The coolest looking one was a big tree. I made the time go faster, so I can see the plants grow. When I was done, I decided to go to when the sun affected the earth. I had to be careful there because the sun blasted the surface with deadly radiation and I did not want to get hurt. I realized that there was no plants or animals on the surface when there is supposed to be. Finally, I decided to move on to when the sun affected the earth. That happened 360 million years ago. I did not feel safe there so I left and went to when things were becoming normal. That was 200 million years
To properly understand where all elements on Earth came from, it is essential to first learn about human understanding of how the universe started. One of the widely accepted theories is “the Big Bang theory”. The Big Bang theory is a method to explain what the universe was like at the very beginning. Most scientists working in the field of astronomy believe that the universe did have a beginning and its age is finite. One claim that supports this view is that if the universe was infinitely old, there should be stars in every direction possible, either a star or the remains of a star. According to the current understanding, there existed nothing before the Big Bang, but during and after the Big Bang, everything we can imagine sprang into
During the late 18th century, several geologists began to propose an age for earth based on their various studies, and it greatly exceeded the time frame of the Bible. These new studies started th...
Our Solar System was formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago during the Big Bang with the collapse of an interstellar body (Lammer et al., 2009). During these supernova explosions, the dusts and gases that were expelled were mixed and processed to form the planets of our system (Lammer et al., 2009, Nisbet and Sleep, 2001).
There are a variety of definitions of time management. Past researchers and authors, refer to the definition that time management involves the process of determining needs, setting goals to achieve and prioritizing and planning tasks. (Lakein, Alan., 1973). Being effective in time management is key in order to be successful in college and beyond. In college it can determine your grade on a test or paper. When you are not conscious of time and lose track of it, it can hurt you in the long run. It is important to have a schedule or calendar on tasks you need to finish. You do not want to wait until the last minute to begin doing an assignment. Research shows that students who procrastinated on assignments did poorly on the assignment than those who did not
In reading the article “The Origin of Old-Earth Geology and its Ramifications for Life in the 21st Century by Dr. Terry Mortenson, I discovered the different points debated by Christian and non-Christian scientists about how the universe was created. Dr. Mortenson says” Almost everyone living today takes for granted that the universe and earth are billions of years old” (Mortenson, 2003). I will discusses the author’s strengths and weakness in the article that affected my views on the theory.
The origin of the word myth seems to be a myth in itself. Myths have generally originated from a Greek history that used an oral tradition to explain events that occurred before the written word. Often supernatural beings or fictitious characters were used to explain popular ideas concerning phenomena's of nature or the history of people. The myths that were carried on from generation to generation were often very imaginative in an attempt to spark the interest of young listeners. These would be told at social gatherings. The main purpose of a myth was to relay historical information among groups. Early myths often dealt with the origin of man, customs, religious rights, incidents involving the lives of gods, stories of culture heroes, adaptations of old world myths, or the retelling of biblical stories.
According to Genesis God created the Earth and all things in it in 7 days (actually six days and one day for a little R&R). There are within the belief wide ranges of explanations for the scientific discoveries in modern times. In 2000 the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) created a committee to study the first three chapters of the Book of Genesis. What they found were 4 different views of creation days within their group. The first view is that God created the world in 6 consecutive days, with each day being a normal Earth calendar day (24 hours), any geological formations seen today (such as sedimentary rock formations with ten’s of thousands of years of different layers) are said to have come from the Flood in Noah’s time. The most generally accepted date of the creation of the Earth was October 22, 4004 B.C.E. Certain groups such as and especially Christian fundamentalists who believe in the inerrancy and literal interpretation of the Bible are the main subscribers of this train of thought. One example of how this would be possible even when scientific evidence suggest that the Earth is far older then 6,000 years is that when God created things, he created them with a history. Trees would have been created already containing rings. New mountains would appear already eroded. In short, the world would appear much older then it actually is. Other examples such as the “Gap Theory” states that the days were in fact 24-hour periods, however there were large gaps of time between each one of them, enough time to accommodate many geological ages. The second view is th...
How much difference can time make when you need to get your daughter to school? Or when you need to get your son to the doctor because he hurt himself? In every aspect of my life, time is everything. Time management is very important, especially for working adults that have families and are attending school. When I returned to school, I had a plan in place. Part of that plan was not to be a procrastinator which is something that I am so good at. But, I am slowly learning that when my time is managed correctly, I can not only take my time but, I can accomplish more.
These so-called “creation-scientists” have disputed the evidence in support of a young earth. They have added their own measurements and observations, as well as interpreted other scientists’ data, in an attempt to convince others of the possibility and ultimately, the “truth” of a young earth, one that is no more than 6,000 to 10,000 years old.
The age of the earth is one of the most debated topics of religious discussion. Quite surprisingly, the debate also exists with the Christian community. While most conservative Christians hold to a literal six day creation account, there are those who believe that the six “days” of creation are not to be taken as literal twenty-four hours days, but rather ages of time. Careful examination of the original Hebrew language as well as inconsistencies between the Genesis account and the evolutionary theory attest that the earth was indeed created in six literal days.

Now that we have explored my past, present, and future experiences with diversity, it is time to see how they are present within and effect each other. Firstly, let’s look into how my future is present in my past. The most obvious portion of my future that is in my past is my willingness and efforts to love and include everyone and to spread this world view. It took a fellow classmate of mine to demonstrate to my third grade self that we are all human beings and we all deserve to be treated as such. In my future, I aspire to demonstrate this world view to my students and inspire them to treat each other accordingly. This aspiration directly reflects my world view struggles I went through in third grade, for I want to help my students come to
History is a series of important past events that connect with something. History is what makes people make better decisions. There are many definitions of history and everyone has their own.
Others have noted that we're all travelling forward in time (in fact, the theory relativity says that we are all travelling at the speed of light through spacetime) so I'll tackle the travelling-backward-in-time part of the question. And that breaks down into issues of whether backwards time travel is a theoretical possibility, and whether it's a practical one.
