...This paper will contain a review of the article “Old-Earth Geology and its Ramifications for Life in the 21st Century by Dr. Terry Mortenson, 2003”. Brief Overview and Main Points The theme of the article covered the long debated topics of the earth and universe being billions of years old, which was an idea with its origin and roots beginning in the 19th century, and was understandably named “The Genesis- Geology Debate”. Today, it is a very important topic, to science students, Christianity’s history along with science; and is also highly relevant to the current growing debate over evolution and or creation. The dominant view of the earth’s age in the 1800’s was mostly the creation theory that God created the earth in six 24 hr. days. However, by the end of the 1800’s, theories sought to prove earth’s existence only through natural and evolutionary means. This change in theory was mainly due to 3 French scientists, whose work revolved around natural laws in matter, time, chance and nature itself, leaving God out of the picture. Therefore, during the 19th Century there were 3 dominant earth views: 1) Catastrophists- who believed that creation was “untold-ages” old and that through catastrophic floods many life forms were died off, and God recreated new species. 2) Uniformitarians who ignored origins of life, and believed all geological processes...

...The earth is known to be old, but what is the truth of how old is the earth. There is scientific evidence of how old it is, some would say it’s Billions of years and some would say Thousands of years old. There is a lot of factors like rocks layers, plants, animals, sun, moon and many more facts that can predict how many years has the earth been around. But to find the truth if it’s a Billions of years or Thousands of years we would have to compare the two and even look into scientist discovering facts. Or do we go off the what God has created and the Bibles authors? When we read about how or what makes the earth Billions of years? There was a Geologic time scale that was invented in 1800’s. Within this invention, this scale was only to find the geologic ages, with out the information of periods or events. By this we believe the earth was formed about 4 billions years ago. This dates have been proven by analyzing samples of rocks , solar systems, and minerals. Scientist have collaborated and scientifically giving proves of objects, like how old it the oldest rock on earth or the oldest mineral and where did it come from. Material (Oldest earth rock), Age (4.0 billion years), and Methods (radiometric) our how the geologic scale combinations of specific source that tell the what scientist have documented and dated there sources. These are examples of why some assume the age of the earth is a billion years old. One big scientists believer was James Hutton studied...

...When dinosaurs roamed the earth, a far flung star bathed a world in nascent, invigorating light. Upon its surface dwelled beings such as ourselves, bipedal, two ears, two eyes, proud and tall. They flourished beneath the watchful eye of a virile star, languishing its warming rays upon such a small, careful world. These humanoids had progressed to the twentieth century, almost at the cusp of space travel, nearly within reach to embrace their mother’s warmth in the cool black of space. Yet, her age was showing, the once vibrant stars’ rays became a scathing red, her mass ballooned, and the once welcoming starlight became a bane for these once proud beings. Iron chilled her breast, and the sunlight that once stoked life in abundance now stifled her creations. Great works and colors were stripped of their vibrancy. Cities melted, minds boiled. Their flesh plagued with cancers, boils, and all manner of degenerative disease. A once hopeful culture became one of dread and worry, every moment but a ruesome reprieve from the scathing sun and the chilling eternity of death. Death became them. Their cities, their culture, great tombs in expectancy of the inevitable coming of death. They knew nothing but the grave and the sheer black obelisks that now towered above their homeworld, a meager attempt to hide from the fetid starlight of their corpse star. An untold time passed before their cancer ridden bodies, the death that so halted their progress to that of a sparrow moving grains of...

...Introduction: Dr. Terry Mortenson in the article The Origin of Old- Earth Geology and its Ramifications on Life in the 21st Century, discusses a well know debate that goes back many years. In this review I will give a brief overview of what the article itself is about. Along with that, I will discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses that I have found and thought about. There are some very great points in this article, as well as weak points. I think it is important to discuss both. Overview: The Origin of Old-Earth Geology and its Ramifications on Life in the 21st Century is an article by Dr. Terry Mortenson. He discusses a well know debate that goes back many years. He mentions three French scientists, Comte de Buffon(1708-88), Pierre Laplace(1749-1827), Jean Lamarck(1744-1829), and how they were involved in the development of theories without the involvement of God. He defends his arguments with the mentioning of the four scriptural geologist, George Young(1777-1848), George Fairholme(1789-1846), John Murray(1786?-1851), William Rhind(1797-1874)(Mortenson, 2003) . Strengths: I think Dr. Terry Mortenson makes very good points in his article, with great detail. He mentions the French scientists, and give a brief overview of what they brought to the table. “Three French scientists were prominent in this development. In Epochs of Nature (1778), Comte de Buffon (1708–88), postulated that the earth was the result of a collision between a comet and the sun and had gradually...

...Jonty Chimbera INQ 270 9/25/15 The nature of God in Genesis The depiction of God in the Bible’s story of creation, namely Genesis, brings to mind the image of an almighty and powerful God. (Genesis 1:1) starts with the introduction “In the beginning, God created heaven and earth” suggesting that he was alone in the void. Either out of boredom or perhaps out of a need to have someone else to confirm his greatness therefore creating the earth, plants, animals and most important, mankind. Throughout the book, God consistently makes poor decisions, and then eventually acts to fix the situation. Throughout Genesis, God accepts the fact that humans make mistakes and accepts their imperfection. God changes from one who does not tolerate...

...could put me at risk of developing heart attack. Knowing the risk factors of developing diabetes and heart disease I have to be very cautious about my health. Eating healthy food with less carbohydrates and fat would reduce the risk factors. Healthy habits not only include food ,but also my activities that will keep me healthy.Regular exercise would help me to burn the extra calories and prevent formation of plagues in my blood vessels. Creating or strengthening our spirituality can have untold beneficial effects upon us after loss. By spirituality I do not mean religion. Many Bible stories demonstrate how God comforts His people in times of sorrow and loss. Job clung desperately to God, despite catastrophic loss and unhelpful friends. David, a man after God’s own heart, openly grieved the death of his son. We need to put our faith in God’s promises, trusting that our Heavenly Father knows best and that His understanding is perfect. Isaiah 55:9 says, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” God desires to give us comfort, but we must reach out and accept it. Through prayer and meditation on His Word, we can find a place in God’s...

...Picture an alien lifeform. A prodigiously elongated head unproportionate to the size of its lanky body. Its arms extending so far it exceeds its knee caps. Legs that are shorter than the size of its upper body creating an off balanced proportion of the average human physique. Skin the color of an emerald, and fingers that reach out so far they double, possibly triple, the length of human fingers. An ear cavity placed slightly above its extended neck, as well as jet black eyes resembling the darkness of a midnight sky. Where did the initial idea of a lifeform like this originate? Was it simply the result of someone's imagination, or has there been untold proof of such creatures? Throughout centuries people have gone public with encounters that they said to have had with an alien or alien related object; however, despite the numerous claims, governmental officials have persistently proclaimed that confirmation of...

...Floyd Ogle Instructor: English 1A 11 September 2008 To Catch a Dream On August 28, 1963 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., possibly one of the most eloquent, and certainly one of the most passionate men to ever share his heart, delivered a stunning and earth shaping speech. He delivered this speech not only to over 200,000 people in attendance at the Lincoln Memorial, and not even to a nation struggling with the perils of racism and equality, but to generations of people who share in a dream and strive for freedom; a dream that many still dream today. Even though we are closer now than at any point in history, we have yet to experience the freedom of which Dr. King dreamed. Racism is not a problem only in America, most every nation deals with racial issues on some level. Though none of us could ever forget the tragedy of the Holocaust, we tend to forget that it was racially motivated. Hitler’s goal was to exterminate the Jewish people. “Anne Frank was murdered by the Nazis in Bergen-Belsen [concentration camp] for being a Jew, just one of over one million Jewish children to be killed in the Holocaust” (Melchior). The Holocaust, while the most prominent, is not the only example of ethnic cleansing that the world offers. Darfur, the Sudan, Croatia, and Kosovo, just to name a few, have all dealt with this racial horror. South Africa, as well, deals with racism. As the political power shifts toward black South Africans, white South Africans face continual racial violence...

...All Summer in a Day Children grow up not knowing how the world works. They don’t understand why people are different from each other, and sometimes they react to differences with jealousy or cruelty. In All Summer in a Day, by Ray Bradbury, the children are jealous and even angry with Margot because she has had experiences that they have not, and she suffers unfairly as a result. You could write a literary analysis about the Figurative Language in this story: The children pressed together LIKE so many roses, so many weeds intermixed. Simile They were remembering gold or a yellow crayon or a coin large enough to build the world with. Metaphor They always awoke to the tatting drum, the endless snaking of clear bead necklaces upon the roof. Metaphor They turned on themselves, like a feverish wheel, all fumbling spokes. Simile She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghosts. Metaphor It’s like a penny. Simile The great jungle that covered Venus, that grew and never stopped growing, tumultuously, even as you watched it. It was a nest of octopi, clustering up great arms of fleshlike week, wavering, flowering in this brief spring. Metaphor You could write an essay about what Ray Bradbury is saying about mob mentality in "All Summer and a Day". "All Summer in a Day" shows Margot, the quiet, invisible outcast of the class, being singled out by the rest of her classmates, after telling...

...Globally, Buddhism is a major religion with a complex history and system of beliefs. The founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama, was the son of an Indian warrior-king. He was believed to live an extravagant life through early adulthood. However, when he became bored with the indulgence of royal life, he wandered into the world in search of understanding. He was soon convinced that suffering lay at the end of all existence. He became a monk and deprived himself of worldly possessions in the hope of comprehending the world around him. Through meditation, he finally understood how to be free from suffering. Following his epiphany, he was known as the Buddha. Karma is a belief of Buddhists that refers to the good and bad actions a person takes during their lifetime. Good actions involve either the absence of bad actions or actual positive actions. These actions include generosity, righteousness, and meditation. All of these actions bring about happiness in the long run. However, bad actions such as lting, stealing, and killing bring about unhappiness in the long run. The weight that actions carry is determined by five conditions: frequent, repetitive action; determined, intentional action; action performed without regret; action against extraordinary persons; and action toward those who have helped one in the past. Finally, there is also neutral karma, which derives from acts such as breathing, eating or sleeping. Neutral karma has no benefits or costs. Karma is connected to...

...al-Haytham was among the first scientists to develop a system of inductive experimentation in order to document his discoveries in optics and other fields, and his discoveries and strong ability to build a case for explaining his observations were influential for future scientists in adhering to a strict code of conduct for good scientific inquiry. Another incredibly influential Muslim scholar was al-Biruni, who lived around the same time as Ibn al-Haytham. Al-Biruni visited many Islamic courts and palaces in his lifetime and travelled a good bit of the world; wherever he went he often measured latitudes and longitudes and made observations of the arc of the sun. Through his work, al-Biruni introduced techniques to measure great distances on the Earth through the technique of triangulation, which allowed for a significantly more accurate way to measure vast distances. In fact, through his technique al-Biruni was able to make a reasonably accurate estimate of the Earth’s diameter; information that Columbus might have found useful! Perhaps one of the best known of the Muslim scholars of the time was Ibn Sina. As a child, Ibn Sina spent much of his time reading from the local royal library and became a practicing physician at the age of sixteen. Ibn Sina contributed significantly to our understandings of medicine and philosophy. Ibn Sina was able to build off of the medicinal discoveries of other Muslim scholars and scientists to write his most famous work, the Canon of Medicine, in which...

...nuclear. Being such a large power supply, this also puts it under the eyes of terrorists. The energy production is a benefit to mankind, but the waste given off by it is incredibly dangerous. Terrorists looking to make a dirty bomb seek out this waste to drop radioactive fallout over a large area, causing great sickness and death to occur. There have only ever been two cases of cesium-containing bombs, and neither was detonated. Both involved Chechnya. Both were thwarted, but there remain many sources of dirty bomb ingredients that are stolen or lost every day. The European Union reports 70 go missing every year, whereas the U.S. reports one goes missing every day. Again, we see the duality of this technology, being able to provide power to untold millions, or being able to give radiation sickness to large numbers of...
