...Introduction The use of the scientific method, various types of research design, classification, and program evaluation was imputed by God and used in biblical times long before modern scientist developed the use of these research methods that are being used today. This paper will discuss and analyze four passages of scripture that contain several research designs and the vessels that God used in order to fulfill His will. Describe how Adam demonstrated the use of the concept of classification In the book of Genesis, chapter 2 verses 19-20 states; “Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.” (NKJV) In this passage of scripture Adam is demonstrating what is called taxonomy classification. According to Andrews, (2013) taxonomy classification is defined as living things (organisms) that are grouped according to their commonality. God gave Adam the authority to name every animal and not did he only name every animal but he also grouped every animal according to their natural habitat including the birds of the air and every beast of the field. This was a direct display of taxonomy classification displayed in biblical times imputed only by God our...

...Nevertheless, eyewitnesses didn’t give up and kept bringing forth a variety of evidence. Over 4000, sober, level-headed people had turned in things on this so called monster for further research. In the 1950’s, a book was written by a local doctor containing these run-ins, along with sketches of what these people had seen. This book inspired many people, some even quitting jobs to join along in the monster hunt. By 1958, four separate expeditions were launched. They started using sonar and were detecting moving things which they could not describe. In the 70’s people were getting sponsored to go on expeditions and they began to set up traps by combining sonar and underwater photography. They weren’t successful in capturing an exact image of the Loch Ness monster, but they did gather lots of evidence which raised lots of questions in the media and the public. From what scientists, researchers, and Loch Ness monster fanatics have gathered so far about this creature, none of it proves that it does exist. But nothing has proved that it doesn’t either. To this day, people continue to search for the legendary beast, and the myth lives...

...CONCLUSION................................................................................................................................6 BIBLOGRAPHY.............................................................................................................................7 INTRODUCTION The ministry of worship and preaching of chaplains is unique in the sense that they are tasked with providing for the religious needs of different people and in a pluralistic environment. Although this type of setting provides many challenges, chaplains are afforded abundant ministry opportunities. This paper first will attempt to describe the opportunities, advantages, and disadvantages of technology in the area of worship and preaching for chaplains. Secondly, this paper will describe the role and functions of chaplains in the healthcare setting when providing worship services. This paper will show that when properly used technology can become a tool that will enhance, promote, and advance the ministry of worship and preaching in the chaplaincy ministry. The Chaplain and the Use of technology in Worship When considering the use of technology such as multimedia, the chaplain has to consider whether the use of such technology will ultimately enhance, fortify, or detrimentally affect the worship service. The question is how technology can be better employed, in order to become a means thru which the people of God are able to worship in a meaningful and spiritually...

...Summit about an issue that has become commonplace in today’s media: global warming. We know much of Gore’s bid for presidency in 1999, in which he ran – unsuccessfully - on a platform of responsible energy consumption. Fourteen years later, Gore is still arguing the same points, but with increased vigor. Its no surprise that after fourteen years of heavy campaigning, many Americans are well aware of the issue; in fact, many have changed their buying habits to reflect this growing concern – one the private sector has not failed to capitalize on. In this essay, I will attempt to first define global warming, touch on the “going green” movement and how it’s affecting consumer buying habits, explain how the car industry is being affected and the describe some of the motivations a company may have to “go green.” What is global warming? As with any business discussion, we must first understand the topic being discussed. Global warming debate has becoming increasingly prevalent in news media, T.V. shows and popular culture in the past few decades. Defined as an increase in the overall temperature of the earth, global warming is a topic that has been debated furiously from both sides. The EPA estimates that the earth’s temperature has risen by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the past century. While this may not seem like much (and opponents to the global warming theory are quick to point this out), large bodies of information show that small changes in average temperature lead to significant...

...Research, Statistics, and Psychology Paper Psychology uses statistics and research to validate or invalidate theories. Research is used to find answers to questions. The scientific method is important because it provides researchers with the steps they must take to find the answer they are looking for in a study. Statistics are used to prove or disprove theories or questions by using the collection of data and mathematics. Many types of research could be used to make the world a better or even healthier place and this is why statistics and research is important in all fields of study. Research is an important part in the field of psychology. It is used to establish facts rather than opinions. Research is defined as an organized and systematic way to find answers to questions (Henrichsen, Smith, & Baker, 1997). There are four main goals of research in psychology, these goals are describe, predict, explain, and apply. Researchers use the scientific method to meet these goals. The scientific method is described as a process involving fives steps to conduct research. The first step is to determine a problem or make an observation. The second step is the development of the hypothesis. Testing the hypothesis is the third step. Recording the observations is the fourth step. The final step is to draw a conclusion(s) (Cowens, 2006). The scientific method is used in all fields of research. Primary and secondary data is used in research to support a hypothesis. A research first focuses...

...ENGL 1101/ F October 7, 2014 Google May Just Be Making Us Stupid The ability to perform research in just about every aspect of society. Thanks to modern technology a great deal of this research is readily available and right at our fingertips. In the world today many people have begun to rely on google as a primary means of finding this information. Because of this, it is thought that google may be “Making Us Stupid”. The article, “Is Google Making Us Stupid” by Nicholas Carr provides a quite reasonable argument to support this idea. “My mind isn’t going-so far as I can tell-but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think.” (24), is a statement made by car concerning the effects of the internet on his own brain. This is to imply that due to abundant use of the internet for research purposes, it had started to have subtle effects on his thought process. The area he most noticed this change was in his ability to focus when reading. This was attributed the fact that as a writer, he used the internet quite frequently and abundantly for research. Before the internet came to be his saving grace, he would have had to rely on the archaic relics known as books and other forms of media to perform his research. Just due to the nature of this beast, it sometimes required hours of grueling page turning, which in addition to expanding one’s mind can also cause paper cuts. According to Carr, He is not the only one suffering with this dilemma. There...

...Mental Illness Ellen is a 35 year old laboratory technician, she is happily married and has a beautiful three-year-old daughter Emily. Unfortunately in the last three years she has been unable to enjoy her life or her family as well as she wants to. She has been suffering from a severe form of Postnatal Depression which has forced her to leave her job and spend eleven months in a psychiatric hospital. While now on the road to recovery, Ellen admits that the hardest part of her illness is coping with the attitude of others: "I had no history of mental illness prior to my daughter being born. I was happy and successful in life but now I find myself being treated as an alien. People, including family and friends, seem not to know what to say to me - so they say nothing. Little is known by the majority of folk about "clinical depression", so you're treated as an outcast". 1) Poor mental health is something which will probably affect everyone of us to some degree, either directly or indirectly, at sometime during our lives. 2) But despite the fact that mental disorder is classified as an "illness" which can be "treated" just like physical illness, many psychiatric patients can identify with Ellen's experience of feeling like an outcast. 3) Society can be very uncomfortable around those with mental health problems and as a result, there is a general reluctance among people to admit to mental distress or to reveal that one has been hospitalised, taken medication or had...

...A French paleontologist by the name of Philippe Taquet named this approximately 110-115 million-year-old dinosaur genus in 1976. The bones were discovered in the Gadoufaoua beds of northeast Niger, Africa just ten years earlier. There are currently two nearly complete skeletal structures associated with this dinosaur; both found in the southern Sahara Desert, and one of them Taquet researched. This paper will continue to discuss the Ouranosaurus in its entirety. It will start with background information, including how to pronounce its name, what it looked like, how it was classified, and which dinosaurs it was similar to. The paper will end with more descriptive aspects, such as when and where the dinosaur lived, what and how it ate, who its...

...Fiorella Gomez-Sanchez Monday 1 – 5 Class Research Paper Bullied to Death Bullying has become an epidemic that due to technology has spread profusely during the last couple years, causing fear, severe depression, and even death. Bullying is something that has existed throughout the years, but the recent violent cases that have surfaced due to the consequences of this; is something that cannot be ignored. Such consequences include the suicide of many innocent teens as well as the acts of revenge in cases such as the Columbine shooting misfortune. The big question is, with all these tragic events taking place, who do we hold responsible? Should these students be held responsible for their actions, should the school be held responsible for not taking action and dealing with the problem from the beginning? It is more than apparent that action must be taken in order to stop this hateful violence. Dr. Olweus, PhD, of Norway, describes bullying as “repeated negative, ill-intentioned behavior by one or more students directed against a student who has difficulty defending himself or herself. Most bullying occurs without any apparent provocation on the part of the student who is exposed. (Olweus)” The praying begins at a very young age; it can even begin in kindergarten or first grade, but the bigger targets are in middle school and high school. Usually it is for minimal reasons such as, having an accent, not dressing or looking like “others”, not being from a wealthy family,...

See the sample paper and Turabian for correct formatting. introduction Daniel, a contemporary of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, went into captivity to Babylon in 605B.C. when he was around fifteen years old. Jeremiah warned that the Lord would was sending the Babylonians to punish Judah. In 605 B.C. , Nebuchadnezzar led the Babylonian army to victory over the Eygptians at Carchemish, establishing control over Syria and northern Israel. Then he marched south and took some exiles including Daniel.1 “The Book of Daniel is not only one of the most intriguing works in the Bible, but it is also filled with timeless truths that are just as relevant to modern believers as they were to those who first heard them.”2 In this research paper we are going to assert that Daniel foresees the antichrist who will appear at the end of the age. There is much controversy about the antichrist. Who is he? Was he Hitler or Mussolini or some other despot that persecuted and...

...C8057 (Research Methods in Psychology): Writing Laboratory Reports Writing Lab Reports & APA Format Structure and Content of a Laboratory Report This following provides a brief overview of the structure and content of various elements in a laboratory report, based on APA guidelines. The APA publication manual can be referred to for more detail. The purpose of a lab report is to communicate research in a clear, systematic and standardised way. Primarily, a lab report should communicate the following things: → Why did I bother? Why did I do this experiment and why is it an interesting contribution to science? → How did I do it? How did I carry out this research (this should be detailed enough so that the experiment could be replicated precisely)? → What did I find? What were the results of your study? → So What? What do your findings mean in terms of your hypotheses and what theoretical contribution do they make? IMPORTANT! The advice that we give you in this handout is not inflexible, it is a guide! For example, when we say that the title should be fewer than 15 words, the world will not end if your title is 16 words. So, please use your common sense. In case you don’t have any, the snail of sense will appear to give you some advice. Format There are several sections to a lab report: → Title → Abstract → Introduction → Method o o o o o → Results → Discussion → References → Appendix (Optional) Title Your title should ideally be fewer than 15 words. A good title alerts the reader...
