Assignment 3 It has been saying that evolution should be objected these days because there are more and more counterexamples have been found. However, after reading related materials, I believe there are still many aspects to prove the evolution theory is valid. One of theories that go against evolution is that it violates the second law of thermodynamics. Many people think that according to the law, total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time, or remains constant in ideal cases

In 1976, an idea that would eventually become a worldwide cultural phenomenon was conceived. Interestingly, the term “meme” was coined by British biologist Richard Dawkins before the invention of the internet, and was defined as “ideas that guide human behavior.” The word was derived from the greek mimema (that which is imitated) which Dawkins shortened to rhyme with the word gene (Mondschein). Initially, it was used in evolutionary biology to compare the passing of genes onto next generations to

Wind written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, takes place in a small town in the heart of Tennessee, Hillsboro, and the Bible Belt in the 1920s. The play, converted to a novel, covers an early case of evolution v. religion in the South. Thinking the teachings of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is interesting, a young teacher, Bertram Cates, teaches the theory to all of his students, even though it is outlawed in the state at the time. Not soon after, he finds himself behind bars, and big lawyers

In this day and age human activity and climate change have interfered with the natural habitat of many animals causing them to become endangered or extinct. One example of this is a type of bird called the albatross scientifically called Diomedeidae. Albatross are one of the most impressive sea birds, if not the most impressive in the world. They have the largest wingspan of all birds, which can be up to 3.4 meters long (National Geographic). They glide for hours and hours at sea only flapping their

unsure on how humans, animals, and even the floating, wet rock called Earth got here. Many speculate that a big bang caused the earth to form, and others take a more religious approach, with an all knowing power, or mystic being, being the one who created the Earth and everything on it. Throughout this paper I will be taking a religious approach to analyzing, comparing, and contrasting the creation stories of Christianity, Hinduism, and the Aboriginal religion, and discuss how humans appeared on Earth

he realized that God was creator of all, and all the theories, like evolutionism, was something he wanted to defend, not support. Lewis states: “We must sharply distinguish between Evolution as a biological theorem and popular Evolutionism or Developmentalism which is certainly a Myth. [...] To the biologist Evolution […] covers more of the facts than any other hypothesis at present on the market and is therefore to be accepted unless, or until, some new supposal can be shown to cover still more

Reminiscent of ethnology, evolutionary psychology roughly states that the mind is the way that it is because of adaptions to the environment, and that insights of evolutionary biology can be used to bring new light onto the human brain, and human behaviour more generally. These neo-Darwinists have sought to apply natural selection to social organization much like Herbert Spencer’s meek justification that the social stratification and colonial domination of expansionist industrial capitalism reflected

Every time when the new-born ideas of designers have first showcased their presence on the catwalk, when a season is coming to an end and ready to pass its baton to the next one, you can always hear that certain sound coming from your wardrobe. And NO. We’re not talking about the haunted closet. For that the sound is not made by something that’s already in there, but something that is yet to be. Deep inside of your wardrobe, what’s being created by your favourite designers with the most desirable
