Can science disprove God? This is a key question in the Reason Series that is especially discussed in Episode One and one that I have always wondered about myself. Disproving anything with science is close to impossible because the scientist would need to rule it out in every situation that could possibly happen. God is outside our universe and can’t be measured, therefore, science can’t disprove him. Solid evidence of a creator does exist, though: something can’t come from nothing, so something

question to be studied through experiments. Experiments would need to be tested to find out your hypothesis. The results would be your overall conclusion as to whether the hypothesis is true or not. According to Mader and Windelspecht, “The atomic theory states the elements consist of tiny particles called atoms” (22). Each atom has an atomic weight. Protons have a positive charge.

As previously mentioned, the point of this essay is to bring together multiple topics, under the umbrella of self-deception, in an attempt to construct a plausible understanding of this subject. Through the use of three subtopics – motivations, forms, and advantages/disadvantages – readers are able to grasp the concept of self-deception with clarity. Within the subtopic of motivation, I explain that there are two forms of motivation toward how and why people will engage in self-deception; there

I found several things about this week’s assigned article by Watson & Rayner (1920) fascinating, but one thing that stood out in my mind was the transfer of the fear response to an alternate stimulus. As we learned in our text, we know that a transfer can occur between similar stimulus and this is known as generalization in classical conditioning (Mazur, 2013). Within our text, Mazur (2013) describes an eyeblink experiment where rabbits were given a shock (US) near their eye and this was repeatedly

The Assscat is a group a professional improv actors who truly know the art of improv. While watching Assscat I was able to notice many of the things we have discuss in class. The main points of the improv that stood out were the chemistry of the group, the structure of the Harold, and the commitment of the performers. Watching the Assscat performance, the improv seemed flawless but in reality the performers are going through natural human struggle like any other improver. Watching the group I could

Throughout elementary and intermediate school, the scientific process is portrayed to students as a linear process. Though what they have taught children is wrong on several occasions. Those teachers and textbooks tell us that there is one specific order of steps and events that is always followed when finding unknown information. However, scientists often have to go back to revise or change something within their hypothesis or experiment, which could happen several times within one study. Judah
