"What is the most profound question that human beings can ask about themselves?
It has to be: Where do we come from?
That leads, of course, to: Where does all life come from?" These questions have interested humanity for years. Many different views on the origin of humankind have been debated and remain in question today. ( Edey, pg.1 )
One view is known as "creation-science".
It is commonly understood to refer to a movement of Christian fundamentalists based upon an extremely literal interpretation of the Bible.
Creation-scientist's do not merely insist that life was suddenly created; they insist that the job was completed in six days no more than ten thousand years ago, and that all evolution since that time has involved trivial modifications rather then basic changes. The existence of fossils, according to a Creation-scientist, is attributed to Noah's flood. ( Johnson, pg.4 )
"Creationism", another view on man's origin, means belief in creation in a more general sense. A Creationist may believe that the earth is billions of years old, and that simple forms of life evolved gradually to form more complex forms including humans. In addition to that belief, however, is the belief that a supernatural
Creator initiated the life process and continues to control it. ( Johnson, pg.4 )
The most reasonable view on the origin of mankind is known as naturalistic evolution.
It means a gradual process by which one kind of living creature changes into something different; evolution that is not directed by any purposeful intelligence.
Another part of the idea is that more complex forms have arisen from simpler forms. Tracing back to the simplest living thing, a bacterium, scientists may find the origin of mankind by finding something even simpler, something out of which bacteria themselves came. Recent work has revealed the existence of a group of bacteria that are as different from other bacteria as the latter are from plants and animals. This discovery compels the reorganization of all life forms into a family tree unlike the traditional ones. Out of this reorganization comes a strong suggestion that there is a single ancestor to all modern forms of life. ( Edey, pg.297
)
The abundance of evidence that there was life much earlier then ten thousand years ago makes it easy to disprove the view of the Creation-scientists. It is hard to disprove the Creationist's view because it is similar to the view of naturalistic evolution. The only difference is simply that a Creationist believes in a divine
Creator as opposed to life beginning naturally. An argument against
Creationism can be found, however, in the imperfections of nature. "Perfection could be imposed by a wise Creator or by natural selection. Perfection covers the tracks of past history. And past history -- the evidence of descent -- is the mark of
In the case of Syria, his definition urges the bystander to take initiative. As elucidated in the text, King’s definition of morality causes Americans to experience vicariously the lives of marginalized groups. Too often, America possesses the tools to confront injustice, but instead, they stand by futilely. This problem is evident today and even more highlighted by the United States’ eleventh hour involvement in World War II. King summarizes this point, stating, “Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection” (citation). Moreover, in the case of the Syrian Civil War, if an individual American cannot bear the complete moral burden, he or she should advocate that the United States government should take action. The moral definition refers to King’s implicit proposal that the American government should bear the moral onus of the world since “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (citation). The idea that immorality is an infection serves as a prominent theme throughout King’s text, and he proposes that its eradication will only transpire when everyone dons the responsibility of purging immorality and
Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz commented, "The most dangerous thing for a brand is low interest." (Gschwandtner) Red Bull is currently available in over 165 countries, resulting in over 35 billion cans sold. (Red Bull) While many companies try to push their products on consumers, Mateschitz decided to take a more personal approach towards attracting consumers and influencing them to make his product stand out and become their first choice. Red Bull's owner states that most of its success came from bringing consumers to the product rather than the other way around. (Gschwandtner) With events in the industries of sport, music, art, technology and adventure, there is little the company does that is not interesting to just about everyone.
The microcosm in the novel Of Mice and Men contains within it a collection of characters whose purpose is to underline the narrative theme of weak versus the strong. The peculiar narration by the author introduces the rising of the motif, oppressed victims fighting a powerful and an unjust opposition. The idealistic perspective envelopes the audience and forces it to pity and provide sympathy for the feeble individuals such as Crooks and Candy. The characters’ flirtation with larger ideas such as the American dream and racial inequality serve as the catalyst for the reader to conjecture upon a deeper meaning surrounding the rather simplistic series of struggles. In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the deliberate presentation of Crooks, Candy and Curley’s wife as the victims of the oppressive forces allows the author’s narration to convey the underlying theme of weak versus strong within the novel.
The idea of evolution by Darwin indicated that the world is not created by God, but through some kind of modification. This controversial idea is strongly objected by most of the religions, such as Catholic, Christian, and Islam etc. These religions sturdily believe that God is the creator of the world, the creator of everything. However, to some extent, Buddhism does teach the similar theory to Darwin’s idea, which Buddhism does not include the idea of God. Also, like the way Darwin talks about “Natural Selection”, Buddhism says that if a person wants to have improvement, he or she must do the good things and undo the bad things. Therefore, as a Buddhist, the idea of evolution shown a positive affect on my beliefs, and it emphasizes and truly proves the teaching of Buddha in a scientific way.
Some of his inventions include the photograph, the motion picture the electrographic vote recorder, and his most famous invention the light bulb. Thomas edison started working on his igea of a light bulb in 1878. He envisioned it as a oil and gas based light that would be longlasting that could be used indoors instead of having to use the outdoor light. He based his ideas on other people's inventions such as Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans. He found that there were many flaws with where light sources and planned on creating a whole different approach to building his light build that would fix all on the problems. Thomas Edison light bulb consisted of a carbon filament. It took him many tries before he successfully tested his lightbulb which lasted thirteen and a half hours. His carbon light bulb became a patent on November 4, 1879. Even though the light bulb was already patent Thomas Edison still found more ways to improve it. He discovered that carbonized bamboo filament could last 1,200 hours, so Edison decided to form the Edison Electric Light Company where he could publicly sell his new light bulbs and have access to new supplies where he can improve and manufacture his carbon light bulbs. Thomas edison created a whole new way of access to working and living environments that impacted history in a great

Men and women in the same racial group are often viewed differently. They also show how stereotypes are recreated and help to reinforce inequality. “…When we witness behavior that has stereotypical associations with a particular race, it literally colors how we view someone (Munsch).” “Bodega Dreams" is a story about Latin students that were treated like they were beneath the teacher, Mr. Blessington. The students were made to believe that it was not possible to overcome their current situation in society due to Mr. Blessington telling them they would never amount to anything.

“I find out what the world needs. Then I go ahead and try to invent it (Sullivan 5).” These are the word that Thomas Alva Edison lived his life by. This is why he is known as the greatest inventor in Americas history. Thomas was granted 1093 patents over his life time. Some of the main inventions that changed the world are the electric light bulb, phonograph and movie camera and projector and much more(Jenkins 1). Thomas Edison is well known for his invention of electricity but he has made many more contributions to society.
In Alfred North Whitehead’s “Religion and Science”, he nullifies the argument between the religious factions and scientists of the world by eliminating all grounds for the argument. Although debated to the “ends of the Earth”, Whitehead points out that these two subjects are actually based upon events that are unrelated. He states “Science is concerned with the general conditions which are observed to regulate phenomenon; whereas religion is wholly wrapped up in the contemplation of moral and aesthetic values”(Whitehead, Religion and Science). Through his definition of both viewpoints, he is able to explain one will never see the other, thus no argument exists.
