Plan And Purpose (Creation) Or Time And Chance (Evolution)?
16538 Words - 61 Pages.... accurate evidence.
Creation is based on plan and purpose, while evolution is based on time and
chance. Both creation and evolution are faith propositions that are biased
in their approach. However, the question is: “Which bias is the best bias
to be biased with?”
1. Why can you say that both Creation and Evolution are biased in their
approach?
You can say that both creation and evolution are biased in their
approach because those that believe in creation (creationists) posses a
strong, firm, uncompromising sense of their beliefs and doctrines, and
those that believe in evolution (evolutionists) posses an incompressible
view of their beliefs. Creationists f ....

Botany
643 Words - 3 Pages.... ecology. If chemistry is more your thing, you should enjoy working as a plant physiologist, plant biochemist, molecular biologist, or chemotaxonomist. If you like designs and microscopy, you would probably find plant structure interesting. If microscopic organisms appeal to you, you should look into microbiology, phycology, or mycology. If you are artistic, ornamental horticulture and landscape design might be right up your alley. If you worry about feeding the hungry, you should study plant pathology or plant breeding. At some larger universities, you can even study specific types of , each with its own department. These departments include argonomy (field crops ....

Lenz's Law And Faraday's Law Of Induction
667 Words - 3 Pages.... flux induces an emf, which produces a current in the
coil; and this induced current produces its own magnet field. If the distance
between the coil and the magnet decreases; so the magnetic field, and therefore
the flux, through the coil increases. The magnetic field of the magnet points
upward. To oppose this upward increase, the field produced by the induced
current must point downward. Thus Lenz's law tells us that the current must move
by the use of the use of the right hand rule. If the flux decreases, so the
induced current produces an upward magnetic field that is "trying" to maintain
the status quo.
Let us consider what would happen if Lenz's law were just th ....

The Giant Anteater
346 Words - 2 Pages.... a tube-shaped head and a
long, slender snout.
Giant anteaters certainly live up to their name; some grow to be
over six feet in length, with a tail of about three feet (Encarta ‘98)!
Anteaters' tongues are two feet long, and the animals can move them in and
out of their mouths up to 150 times per minute (Schupska 1). The giant
anteaters lives on the ground. It walks with its front feet turned on the
sides to protect its claws, which the animal uses to rip open ant nest
before eating. Then it flits its long tongue and literally licks up the
ants. The anteater precedes to rip oben a termite or ant hill with its
clawed hand and work its tubular snout down into the heart ....

Cloning 7
611 Words - 3 Pages.... new
genes with commercially or medically desirable properties.
While the potential benefits of genetic engineering are considerable,
so may be the potential dangers. For example, the introduction of
cancer-causing genes into a common infectious organism, such as the
influenza virus, could be hazardous.
We have come to believe that all human beings are equal; but even more
firmly, we are taught to believe each one of us is unique. Is that
idea undercut by cloning? That is, if you can deliberately make any
number of copies of an individual, is each one special? How special
can clones feel, knowing they were replicated like smile buttons. ....

Athrax
796 Words - 3 Pages.... infected cutaneously the bacterium enters a cut or abrasion on the skin, such as when handling contaminated wool, hides, leather or hair products (especially goat hair) of the infected animal. A skin infection begins as a raised itchy bump that resembles an insect bite, but within one to two days it develops into a vesicle and then a painless ulcer, usually one to three centimeters in diameter with a black necrotic (dying) area in the center of the ulcer. Lymph glands in the adjacent area may swell. About twenty percent of untreated cases of cutaneous anthrax will result in death (www.cdc.gov). Deaths are rare due to antimicrobial therapy.
When anthrax is contracted by ....

Acid Rain: Cause And Effects And Issues
3928 Words - 15 Pages.... size. These are: (1) Inco. - Sudbury, (2) Noranda Mines Ltd. -
Welland, and (3) Sulfide - Ontario
There are a number of factors which govern the location of each
manufacturing plant. Some of these factors that have to be considered when
deciding the location of a Sulfuric Acid plant are:
a. Whether there is ready access to raw materials;
b. Whether the location is close to major transportation routes;
c. Whether there is a suitable work force in the area for
plant construction and operation;
d. Whether there is sufficient energy resources readily
available;
e. Whether or not the chemical plant can carry out its ....

Plate Tectonics
516 Words - 2 Pages.... many of the earth's mysteries, people still rejected the idea that the continents moved for several reasons. Ignorance and strong religious beliefs played a part in this, but it was mainly rejected because of the lack of a good explanation for the movement of the continents. Wegener's theory for the movement of continents was called continental drift. This was not believable at the time because there was no way the continents could move through the rigid ocean floor.
During WWII, people started to explore the ocean floor and discovered evidence that would prove Wegener's ideas about land movement. The most interesting feature of the ocean was the ridges running along th ....
