Elliot Sober's book on evolutionism and creationism examines the current debate about the differences between these theories and their attributes. In my essay, I want to compare evolution and creation through his perspective. Evolution is the idea behind the existence of the differences between organisms and the processes of how they came to be through the observation of early forms of life throughout history. Creationism is the opposite, where the belief is that the universe and its life forms have...

Technology these days is improved more than before. What we previously knew before as a floppy disk now is a thumb drive that improved its storage capacities to more space and its size to smaller that we could take it anywhere. Technology has advanced in different categories such as medicine, education, marketing, and others. The use of it depends on the person how they use it and how they help contribute to society. In the healthcare sector, technology has improved...

Have you ever stared up at the sky and just thought about how life even came to be? Since the establishment of science, many have questioned how not only the human race came to be, but also how all living things have become what they are today. There are two theories that scientists recognize, which are: creationism and evolution. Both theories have provided distinct answers to this question of where living things originated. However, creationism bases the answer on a...

As I think of Time, all I can come up with is that it passes. It is irreversible and just only moves forward. Why do we need time though: to measure or calculate a duration that has been taken to do something. We use seconds, minutes, hours, days etc. to measure time in our daily lives. The definition that I just mentioned for Time may be sufficient to understand it in the context of daily lives but to really understand...

When you look up at the sky in a clear night, you see a bunch of stars shining in the sky. All the starlight are unknown worlds waiting for us to study. After reading The Illustrated Brief of The Time by Steven Hawking, I saw the mysteries of the space and time. Albert Einstein’s formula E=MS shut the door of time travel down. It means that we need more energy to reach higher speed. Time travel requires light speed to...

The Next Generation's big screen outings are a mixed bag, to put it nicely, but the best film by far is the time-bending Star Trek: First Contact. Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-E travel to the past to prevent the cybernetic Borg from mucking with Earth's history. It's a good film all by itself, but even more excellent if you're an invested Star Trek fan. We get to see huge, never-before-seen moments in the Star Trek universe,...

Introduction The concept of time travel has been one of dreams, fantasies, and the imagination. What would you do if you traveled to the past? Would you make corrections or changes to your past, maybe fix what you regret, what if we had more time to do what we can not: these are some of the questions that people ask themselves when thinking of what life would be like if time travel was possible. Thousands of books and movies have...

John Wyndham’s book title is slightly ambiguous due to the fact that he invented the word for his book, but it originates from the word “chrysalis”, a stage in the butterfly life cycle. The Chrysalids is a book about the aftermath of a nuclear war, and the struggle of people who are different. The novel follows three main groups, the people of Waknuk, the Fringe people, and the Sealanders. Every group represents a stage in the cycle: caterpillar, chrysalis, and...

Evolution is a theory or scientific notion which conveys the idea that all life in our world has developed over time and continues to change by a process known as natural selection. Every living creature has participated in the evolution of their species, that's right, even us humans. An animal whose evolution goes back as far as 30 million years is our very large furry friend, the bear. Bears are classified in the Ursidae family which includes eight altering species...

Rice is a type of edible grain which is currently the staple food for over 3.5 billion people. It has been an important food for humans for centuries and has been cultivated as early as 7000 BCE. After the domestication of rice, rice crops were bred to be stouter, straighter, to have increased yield and to grow grains which hung on the plants instead of falling to the ground. It is estimated that by 2050 the number of people relying...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? Beauty is subjective, not objective; as everyone defines and sees beauty differently. Now, why does everyone presented in the media look similar? Why is there a beauty standard? How come everyone wants to look like the same few people? What is the rave about double eyelid surgery all about? We need to ask, where is this coming from? Whom are we all trying to look like? What does this beauty standard...

Earth was formed around 4.54 billion years ago through the gathering of mass from the accretion disc of the solar nebula during the formation of our solar system. In its early stages, earth was constantly under heavy bombardment from other floating bodies, leading to intense volcanic activity. After approximately a billion years of constant collisions Earth was eventually covered in water and hence set the stage for life to begin and prosper, with the earliest evidence showing that life may...

The Continental Drift Continental drift is the suggestion that over long periods of geological time, the continents of the Earth have moved apart from each other and had once formed almost one single land mass known as Pangaea. Whilst the theory that the continents had moved over time had been speculated upon before, the theory wasn’t properly developed until 1912. Wegner's Theory and Evidence: The theory of Continental Drift was first proposed in 1912 by the German geologist Alfred Wegner...

Abstract The study of geomorphology is an academic discipline related in explaining the earth’s surface and to understand the processes which create and modifies landforms. The geomorphology textbooks focusses on the detailed processes which takes places in the weathering of rocks and the transport of debris as landforms are created and destroyed. The global inspection reveals an imbalance of areas of lands and sea and almost infinite variation of shapes which illustrates the continental and oceanic areas. Geographers require the...

The advancement and knowledge on the plate tectonics theory was a very important asset to biogeography, it provided a foundation for our understanding of our ever-evolving planet. The theory provided our understanding on the landmasses that inhabit this world as well as the ocean basins. Paleontologists refer to the total of Earth’s dynamic as TECO events. In this essay I will describe more in-depth about the Earth’s dynamic structure and how plate tectonics affected biotas. Starting with the geological timescale,...

For millions of years, the earth has never stopped moving, internally and externally. The features of our earth are continuously changing and have been doing that since the formation of the earth. Today, geologists present a scientific theory justify the movement of the earth’s plates called tectonic plates which divide the earth’s crust into plates and boundaries (Continental Movement by Plate Tectonics 2019). This report is written to give information about the four types of boundaries and their effect on...

Plate tectonics is a scientific theory describing the large-scale movement of seven large plates and the movements of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere. Alfred Wegener, a geologist in the 19-20th century, discovered the theory of plate tectonics in 1915, when he also proposed the theory of continental drift and Pangea. The country of Iceland sits on two plate boundaries (Eurasian and North American) which are divergent. This means that the two plates were moving apart, then the space was...

Have you ever thought of how money started? Well, it all started with bartering. People use to swap their goods for the other persons goods. Bartering turned to coins. The first coin ever minted featured a roaring lion created by King Alyattes in Lydia now known as Turkey. Coins then turned into bank notes around 1661 AD. In 1950 credit cards were then introduced. Money has evolved for the better because there is more control over how much people take...

The earthquakes that rocked Haiti and Chile were caused by the Earth's shifting tectonic plates. Researchers have developed a new model (MORVEL for 'mid-ocean ridge velocities') of the Earth to predict the movement of one plate relative to another (Sherwood, 2019). This new research project by scientists allows us humans to predict what will happen in the future. We can use this to our advantage of our planet to help save many lives that would be lost due to natural...

The glasshouse mountains are volcanic peaks located in the Sunshine Coast, halfway between the hinterland and the coast. Unlike most volcanoes formed on plate boundaries, the mountains are bye-products of the East Australian hotspot. Hotspots are formed when anomalously hot magma, called thermal plumes, rise from Earth’s core into the mantle. Hotspots then develop on top of the plumes in the asthenosphere and melt the surrounding rock, creating a weak spot. The magma then rises through the cracks and erupts,...

The claim that “Destructive earthquakes are only generated by interactions at the plate boundaries” only states that earthquakes are generated at plate boundaries (interplate), however, there are also earthquakes that do occur away from plate boundaries, known as intraplate earthquakes. Intraplate earthquakes are caused by immense stress within a plate and originate from ancient fault lines and/or rift zones. Earthquakes are measured by using an instrument called a seismograph, determining the magnitude from 1-10 on the Richter Scale. The magnitude...

Tectonic plates—the large slabs of rock that divide Earth’s crust so that it looks like a cracked eggshell—jostle about in fits and starts that continuously reshape our planet—and possibly foster life. These plates ram into one another, building mountains. They slide apart, giving birth to new oceans that can grow for hundreds of millions of years. They skim past one another, triggering earth-shattering quakes. And they slip under one another in a process called subduction, sliding deep into the planet’s...
