of scientific principles. Evolution is considered a theory, a fact many creationists site in their arguments, but it is essential to realize that it is a scientific theory or “an idea that has the broad explanatory power of a set of observations and which, importantly, has been corroborated by many, many independent studies using different kinds of data.” Creationism, on the other hand, is an untestable belief that is also referred to as a theory. Though the same word can be used to describe both

This is a video that is presented by Morgan Freeman in Through the Wormhole discussing and debating on different theories on whether or not gravity is real. In physics, the term gravity is well defined as the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass; the force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall toward the center of the earth. In addition the video starts to state that the gravitational pull of the sun keeps

introduced to Ishmael, one of the first sessions they have is speaking of how man came to be where we are today. Initially shocked by the question, the narrator suggests the thought of what many are told of how we can to be, the big bang or other theories. Ishmael rejects the idea of stating it is a “myth” and later saying to the narrator when he

Conditioning is the way toward figuring out how to respond to nature. Numerous practices have been beforehand molded in the human species by the earth. To pick up control of a subject of study the behaviorist must know the distinction between what practices have been preconditioned and what was acquired from past eras. Human brain science has neglected to make great its claim as a characteristic science. Because of a mixed up thought that its fields of truths are cognizant marvels and that thoughtfulness

Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behavior The theory of reasoned action (TRA) was developed by Icek Ajzen and Martin Fishbein in 1975, to examine the relation between attitudes and behavior (Morisky, 2002). The intention to behave a certain way is determined by the persons attitude toward the behavior (Littlejohn, 2011). Later, behaviors appeared to not be completely voluntary and under control. This led to the addition of perceived behavioral control, and the theory got the name “the theory of

there is one factor in which neither of them can see completely eye to eye, religion. The theory of evolution brings up multiple questions of whether or not there is any legitimacy to the concept of religion, especially that of a polytheistic view of God such as Christianity.With these theories being popular during Darwin’s time period it is easy to believe that Charles believed in God. In Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Nelson Bridgford this idea is supported by analyzing that “Evolution's biggest

Chemists are typically portrayed as unaware and socially inept, which might be a true stereotype for a small population but is most certainly false over the entire population. Chemists such as Madame Curie, Paul Ehrlich, Louis Pasteur, Oliver Sacks, and many more have been breaking down stereotypes through their lifework and their personalities outside of science. In their works they showed passion like none other. Fighting through several barriers and setbacks, they were able to achieve their goals

Generally, these concerns then bring to light the recurring issue around the concept of reproducibility within the scientific community. According to those who participated in the Open Science Collaboration (2012) research paper, reproducibility is the process of “obtaining a meaningful estimate of reproducibility requires conducting replications of a sizable number of studies” (p. 658). The Econmist’s (2013) article acknowledges reproducibility as a core principle of science, which expresses that:

The scientific method is important in everyday life. Individuals go through the scientific method without even realizing it. For example, when an individual must check the oil in their car, one must first make observations, formulate a hypothesis based on those observations, then perform the fix/experiment, then record the results. In lab number two, Daphnia organisms will be placed in water, a caffeine solution, and an alcohol solution, and for each solution the Daphnia is placed in, the organism
