...Trial was the case of a high school biology teacher John Scopes against the state law against teaching Evolution in classroom. The case drew a lot of public attention. Even though the Scopes trial failed, succeeded in getting people to ask themselves, " what should I believe". In 1859, Charles Darwin released his work" Origin of the Species" old man of human are monkeys. Major people are fundamentalist, support the Bible, they believe God created human the story of Garden of Eden. Darwin''s theory subverted the story from Bible.So his speech had problems with church of England, Evolution is a new thing for the whole society, most people thought it 's a joke, and few people really considered became whose try to defend Darwin's theory and spread the ideas of Evolution. In the late days, Darwin's speak of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, now concept of the life sciences. In 1925, Tennessee passed a law, the Butler Act, that make illegal to teach Darwin's theory of evolution in public school. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) thought the law violated people's rights. " The 1st Amendment to the constitution protects that separation when it says. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."(-Excerpt from Monkey on trial, War, peace and all that Jazz1918-1945 by Joy Hakim.) They came up with a plan to show their dissent through...

...was raised in church with my father being a pastor of a church in the community. I was taught the bible and the book of Genesis. The different beliefs that were instilled in me were to believe that God created man and woman. In evolutionary or ecology classes, we are introduced to the theory of where man came from amoeba-like organisms, or even that we evolved from apes. How did life of origin arise? The components of evolution might explain how, but Creation gives a reason to believe why. Origin of life’s existence, as well as age of the earth is a question that is looked under a microscope and probed through both biblical theories, as well as scientific. Looking at difference evidence, acceptance of creation is growing even in spite of scientists trying to prove evolution. Within this paper, there will be different pieces of evidence and facts supporting each theory and there will be an argument, within my conclusion, on which theory I support. The theory of creation can be explained through various books in the bible. Creationists use the Bible as the truth for which they believe the origin of life came into existence. In bible studies and bible school, we were taught that God took clay from the ground which he shaped to a man that he called Adam. A verse in the King James Version, of the Bible, mentions “and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Then, the Lord made a garden as Adam’s...

...distant galactic alien war? It seems like an odd proposition, since believers generally regard aliens as advanced beings. However, the flushing of space elements into other galaxies could be something NASA should look into. Especially since human waste is filling the Earth at alarming rates. The World Bank estimates that human waste will exceed 11 million tons per day by the year 2100. Maybe NASA can figure out a way to launch it into space instead. Borderless Galactic Space Waste New research from the University of Colorado Boulder has found that galaxies launch heavy elements into deep space and surrounding halos. The study, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, highlights the flushing pattern of galaxies. Oxygen, iron, and carbon atoms fill halos outside of galaxies more than inside. Getting rid of waste is good, right? Not for galaxies. They need those heavy space elements in order to build new stars and planets. The $70 million Cosmic Origin Spectrograph collected the data. This expensive instrument studies the evolution of the universe and is installed on the NASA Hubble Telescope....

In his book Africa since independence Paul Nugent (2012: 134-135) made a convincing case of viewing apartheid as the lineal descendent of indirect rule. He further emphasised that apartheid did not come out of the blue, but amounted to a reworking of the main themes of segregationist discourse which took a tenacious grip in the 1920s, but whose origins can be traced back in the 19th century when social Darwinism was being promoted. The central axiom was that Africans were to be treated as subjects whereas whites were citizens bearing...

...handle secured to a long, rotating rod. In comparison to modern vehicles, the Duryea is nearly primitive; yet it notably serves as the origin for all future automobiles. Past the Duryea, the museum features several other automobiles, demonstrating a sequence of innovation in the automobile industry. Each vehicle in the set is accompanied by a brief description, as well as a few relevant photographs, to educate the audience. The cars are secured behind velvet rope, prohibiting any contact that could potentially depreciate value. In addition, the museum supplies sufficient lighting to highlight the craftsmanship of each vehicle. The exhibit concludes with the 1920 Rolls-Royce, also manufactured in Springfield. A remarkable transformation from the Duryea, the Rolls-Royce conveys a more comparable image to...

...University of Maryland Distinguished University Professor Ira Berlin suggests that the unique circumstances of American slavery continue to shape the nation even today. In his lecture, professor Ira Berlin discussed his book Generations of Captivity: A History of African-American Slaves, published by Harvard University Press. He traced the history of slavery from its 17th-century origins to its demise in the U.S. during the Civil War. According to Berlin, slavery has emerged as a central issue in contemporary American white. Also, without question slavery has a “greater” presence now than it has at any time since the end of American Civil War. One of the reason for this is simply because American history cannot be understood without slavery....

...Patterns of Evolution When it comes to natural selection there is pressure for all organisms that have reproduction. I just don’t think there is that much for humans because of the advantages that we have, such as brain functions which helps invent items for everyday living in different types of environments. Having a population with differences among the herd, there would be conflict on who fits better with the habitat and who doesn’t. For example, that is why there is so much prejudice, racism, war, and killings going on in the human environment. Just like in some animal species, if one of them doesn’t fit into their pack or have a deformity, they will more than likely kill them. The process of unrelated organisms evolving to become similar in appearances and behavior is known as convergent evolution. An example of these would be rodents that are distant relatives that live in the dessert. In divergent evolution closely related species living in different environments and facing different environmental challenges sometimes evolve dissimilar characteristics. Some of these bones make up human arms, dog limbs, horse legs, and bat wings. They all have the same origin, but all have very different morphology and very different uses. Adaptive radiation is where a number of species evolved from a single ancestral species. Honeycreeper which is a breed of birds found off the Hawaiian Islands is a great example of adaptive radiation. Then there is co-evolution which is the process...

Hong Kong has grown to become a significant home country(negara asal) of FDI(foreign direct investment) with an outward FDI stock of ,$154.9 billion in 1998, or some 3.8 per cent of the global stock of outward FDI. Indeed, it had become the world’s tenth-largest source of FDI in that year based on the size of outward FDI stock after the United States (with a share of 24.1 per cent of the global stock of outward FDI), United Kingdom (12.1 per cent), Germany (9.5 per cent), Japan (7.2 per cent), the Netherlands (6.4 per cent), France (5.9 per cent), Switzerland (4.3 per cent), Italy (4.1 per cent) and Canada (3.8 per cent). In fact, Hong Kong is almost as important as Canada whose outward FDI stock was $156.6 billion in that year. Thus, Hong Kong had become a significant source of FDI in the world economy, particularly more so in relation...

The United States Marine Corps traces its institutional roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed by Captain Samuel Nicholas by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on November 10, 1775 (Marines.com). The Marines play a big role in the Revolutionary War because they were better trained and better experienced for example. The first Marine landing on a hostile shore happened when a force of Marines...

...EDU 576 Philosophical and Social Issues in Education Impacts on the evolution of America Education Jessica Welch September 4, 2013 Many events and individuals impacted the evolution of education. Socrates (470-399 BC) impacted the evolution of education by his method known as the Socratic Method. This method of teaching involved not giving information but answering questions with questions until students were able to come to their own conclusion of the truth. Socrates is considered one of the few philosophers who changed how philosophy was viewed. His main goal was guiding students to search for the truth and not just giving the answers. His approach made to education made others recognize what is good, real & true. Socrates was a unique teacher even though he considered his self not to be a teacher. The Socratic Method is still used today by teachers. The concept lets teachers take a back seat and lets students have take the lead by having a discussion questioning things rather than memorizing information to get a better understanding of the topic. His method makes you question everything and not just accept someone else’s version of the truth. It causes you to dig deeper and really research and think about the topic. Joseph Lancaster (1806) opened a small school in London. He offered free education to those who could not afford to pay for education and wanted to send their children. The school became extremly popular. However...

...In this paper I will be explaining the history of Habeas Corpus and its evolution through the years. I will explore the origin of habeas corpus, what role it plays in our country, and the action that is currently being taken regarding it. I will also be delving into the way that the Bush administration dealt with the writ of habeas corpus. Since the U.S. Constitution was written, the writ of Habeas corpus has been considered one of the most basic and fundamental guarantees of civil liberty that we as American citizens have enjoyed. Even so, many questions have been raised regarding the proper use of this writ. Many of these questions have come to light over the past decade. In the years following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States government hundreds of people as part of the war on terror. Most of these people face imprisonment indefinitely without having been charged with a crime or even given the status of prisoner of war. The purpose of Habeas corpus is to protect American citizens against such things as wrongful/unlawful imprisonment and torture. It is a civil liberty that our Constitution guarantees cannot be taken from us. The precise origin of Habeas Corpus is unknown but it is believed to have originated from Anglo-Saxon common law. The principal use of Habeas Corpus comes from the middle ages, when similar laws were used. The sum of these laws have aided in molding our current use of habeas corpus. Habeas Corpus has been used to compel...
