Its not about a race or caste or country or creed, its about mortals, its about life. Focused on short-term gain we are so busy fighting each other, on the basis of race, caste, money, colour, sex, town, city, state, country and on every possible way through which we could show the world that we are supreme. But we forget in our puny fights that the actual villain of our lives will show itself after million years. If we are so smart the way we think we are then we wouldn't be living the lies. Earth which has been sustaining us for the past million years would be the one at the end destroying our lives and our mark would be diminished from the cosmic time. And if we are that smart the way we think we are then we wouldn't fight among us and come together use our intelligence to fight the actual villain and cheat it, if possible. Life of our descendants depends on what we do today.
Life itself sends its own stories across billions of years. It's a message that every one of us carries inside, inscribed in all the cells of our bodies, in a language that all life on Earth can read. The genetic code is written in an alphabet consisting of only four letters. Each letter is a molecule made of atoms, each word is three letters long. Every living thing is a masterpiece, written by nature and edited by evolution; the instructions for running and reproducing the intricate machinery of life. The essential message of life has been copied and recopied for more than 3 billion years. We still carry within us the echoes of these extinct civilizations in our languages and our myths
Today, we have a single global civilization. How long will it live? There are so many ways for a civilization to die. If an eruption were to happen tomorrow, our civilizat...

What new wonders, undreamt of in our time, will we have accomplished in another generation and another? How far will our nomadic species have wandered by the end of the next century, and the next millennium?Our remote descendants, safely arrayed on many worlds throughout the solar system and beyond, will be unified by their common heritage, by their regard for their home planet, and by their knowledge that, whatever other life may be, the only humans in all the universe came from Earth. They will gaze up and strain to find the blue dot in their skies. They will marvel at how vulnerable the repository of all our potential once was, how perilous our infancy, how humble our beginnings, how many rivers we had to cross before we found our way.
I DON’T THINK THE BELIEFS OF RACE ARE INFLUENCING THE MEANING OF CIVILIZATION. SIMPLY BECAUSE EQUALITY IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET CIVILIZATION.
Some people call Space “The Final Frontier” but at one point all land west of the Mississippi was considered the frontier. Humans are curious people, sometimes too curious for our own good, but when we find something new we always explore and why would it be any different with space. When we explore the out reaches of space will no longer seem so small or insignificant. The idea of one day unlocking all of the Universe’s secrets, solely through our own advancements as a people, is what gives me that sense of
WE THE WILLING, LEAD BY THE KNOWING, TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE UNGREATFUL, WE HAVE DONE SO MUCH FOR SO LONG THAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF DOING ANYTHING WITHOUT NOTHING AT ALL, GD!
When we see around us we see that we all are in the most advanced and technical world. We are in the 21st century where we consider ourselves the most modest and civilized people. But, I think the more we are modernized and enlightened, the more we are becoming narrow minded about race. According to me, in today’s world race is not only about color now, it is more about the upper class and lower class. We human beings are known as the most smartest of all the organisms, but our smartness is leading us to create and build differences between our own human race. Other animals and organisms with whom we share this planet and the ones from whom the species human came, never show these attitudes towards their other members. Firstly, in this
... our ability not only to understand our human limitations, but also to appreciate their unimportance in our situation:
On average, about 1.21 million abortions are executed annually from unintended pregnancies. Many people believe that a woman should have the choice to abort the life that she created. But they do not take into consideration that the word unintended essentially means accidental. Most people do not look ahead before they do something. Why should a baby’s choice of life be taken away when they did not have the choice to be created. It wasn’t their mistake that they were created. Once life is established, it should not be destroyed. Abortion should be illegal because it is a form of murder, there are lots of alternatives to abortion and many ways to prevent pregnancy, and because a woman’s physical and psychological health can be damaged in and after the process.
There are two possibilities in relation to the origin of life: Either a supernatural being (God) created life or all life evolved on its own. Many people, who are known as
This vast universe, which we understand so little of, is governed by a set of rules and principles which were laid down since the dawn of time. The universe was created by God and it is He who laid down these rules. It is also He who created time and then created life out of nothingness. While doing so, He also instructed us how to spend our lives and told us what is right and what is wrong. In other words, He told us what to do and what not to do, and we, each and everyone of us, is bound to concur and abide by these rules. Culture and race is irrelevant ; these laws are absolute and are meant for every

“The greatest mystery of existence is existence itself” (Chopra). Chopra, a world-renowned author, perceives the existence of life as a truly mystifying cerebration. The pending question that many scientist, and even theists, attempt to answer is how life ultimately began. Currently, the mystery is left with two propositions, evolution and creation. While both approaches attempt to answer the origins of life, evolution and creation are two contrasting concepts. Evolution views life to be a process by which organisms diversified from earlier forms whereas creation illustrates that life was created by a supernatural being. Creation and evolution both agree on the existence of microevolution and the resemblance of apes and humans but vary in terms of interpreting the origins of the life through a historical standpoint. A concept known as Faith Vs Fact comprehensively summarizes the tone of this debate, which leads the question of how life began.
What is meant by Metaphysics? Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value.
Life is unpredictable. It does not always bring happiness and gives us all that we want. Regardless how hard we try and how much we desire to move life according to our own direction, it does not move according to our wishes. In our life, we have to make important decisions. There are few decisions that give direction to our lives. So, in order to make these decisions it is imperative that all the rationale and logical factors should be taken into consideration. But, often, times come when we take decisions under the influence of others. In this family, relatives and friends play important role in my life. If i rewind my life, then, I can also think of various events where I made decisions under other people’s influence. We put on others that make us to follow and obey what others say to us our priority and value. One of the decisions that pinch the pain and dubiousness in my heart and mind is related to continue friendship with a friend at school. I still do not know whether I made that decision rightly or not but I often think about that. In my school, there was a boy who had no friend. He used to greet everybody but he did not have any real or close friend. This aspect of his has always made me to suspect his personality. One day I found him in the library and we started a conversation. After that, we often began to see each other in the library. Slowly and steadily, we became good friends. The feeling that was appearing in my heart that I am being a friend with someone who was alone used to make me feel delighted. When I became friend with that boy, it revealed to me that he was really lonely and painful. He badly needed someone to share all the things that he was suffering from. In the times of troubles, I was a supporter and...
The abstract idea of life cannot be explained by such simple ideas as being animated, breathing, or speaking. Ordinary machines in this century can perform all of these basic functions. The quandary with defining death is not as abstract and elusive as that of life. The problem of defining life and death has plagued philosophers and the religious bodies for thousands of years for one reason; each philosophy or religion has tried to define the meaning of life and death from only their certain perspective. The seemingly appropriate approach to this problem would be to understand the ideas presented in various philosophies and religions and through this knowledge create a new definition for each idea of life and death. The movie Blade Runner has taken this exact approach in its attempt to finally define life and death in a logical and un-spiritual manner. By taking the position that death is a concrete idea that can be explained, Blade Runner accomplishes the task of interpreting the idea of life in terms death. Through this approach, the meaning of life is redefined to accommodate for the existence of the replicants. Also, as a result of this novel notion of life, it is apparent that humans and replicants never actually live, even though they are alive.
Based on the book I have read, Man & The Universe, written by Mostafa Al-Badawi, I am overwhelmed. To be honest, this is my very first time reading such book, ilmiah book, because I know I really don't like reading at all. Not even reading novels. I have very least interest in reading!
The term Homo sapiens (‘wise man’) that had been coined by Carolus Linnaeus was made to highlight the superiority of men in all the Kingdom Animalia, specifying the high level of intelligence and intellect of the entire species. However, an advanced and complex structure of a group of humans that flourish and exhibit a large extension of progress is called a civilization (Bartlett, 2012).
