Article Summary “The Origin of Old-Earth Geology and its Ramifications for Life in the 21st Century,” is an article that informs the readers of the impact of the Old-World theory. The debate that Dr. Terry Mortenson discusses in the article has been around for a significant amount of time, and yet many do not have any idea that it exist. The consequences of this debate can be seen all over the world because of the rejection of God that accompanies these theories and the author gives a general idea of how it affects us. Dr. Terry Mortenson mentions the three French scientists, and how they were involved in the development of theories without the involvement of God. The mentioning of four scriptural geologists and their backgrounds help defend the author’s argument.
Christian describes life as “a new form of complexity” (xxiv). How did oxygen and photosynthesis cause life to begin on Earth? 3. Eventually, multi-celled organisms emerged from water, to land, and eventually (about 7 million years ago) into human ancestors. What were some stages in the development to our species, homo sapiens?

It is not restricted to just one country, state, or person. Everything we do has consequences to our environment and we all need to be aware about what affects it can have. "Data gathered from surface weather stations, ships, buoys, balloons, satellites, ice cores, and other paleoclimatological sources indicate that the climate of Earth is becoming warmer" (Hess, 2014, p. 103). Most people use the term Greenhouse Effect and global warming interchangeably.
As far back as 1620, Francis Bacon noticed that the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America looked as if it would fit together. Between then and 1912 others identified further similarities but it was only that year when Alfred Wegner published a theory and subsequent evidence to explain why the earth appeared to be a huge jigsaw puzzle. He suggested that all continents were once a huge supercontinent, called Pangaea- which drifted apart. The evidence for this was the distribution in geology around the globe. Some mountain ranges in Scotland, for example, are similar to those of the east coast if North America.
Lyell- The idea that our planet’s history stretches back over a period of time so long that it’s difficult for the human mind to imagine. Lamarck- First person to try to explain evolution using natural processes. Malthus- Principles of population. The human population will grow beyond the space and food needed to sustain the number of people. Wallace- They both thought the same exact thing about evolution 8a.
4. Why would Diamond choose to start here? Chapter One: Up to the Starting Line Diamond says: “An observer transported back in time to 11,000 B.C. could not have predicted on which continent human societies would develop most quickly, but could have made a strong case for any of the continents.” Why does Diamond begins his story at this point in human history; why not sooner or later? o Because this date corresponds approximately to the beginnings of village life in a few parts of the world, the first undisputed peopling of the Americas, the end of the Pleistocene Era and last Ice Age, and the start of what geologists term the Recent Era.
In this book, or series of stories as I perceived it, Kolbert continues to reinforce the urgency of global warming through personal experience and expert opinions. However, not everyone is on board, including the United States government, with the plans to
These are the clues that prove the climate is changing day by day. Begley suggests there is no certain way to stop climate change due to global warming, so now people need to find out how they are going to make efficient adaptation plans to keep the planet safe from climate changing threat. Rising global temperatures have been accompanied by changes in weather and climate. Small changes in the average temperature of the planet can be a large and potentially
These are mostly minority opinions it like the reverse of the puritan days when the belief in science and the enlightenment is considered an strange and weird now those belief are considered weird. Most people today would be similar to the enlightenment type of thinking than the puritans. They try to use reason and critical thinking before making any major decision and not just follow what other people tell to do. Today we also use science to try explain the world instead of religion which let up process technology must faster than we have before . In the end the enlightenment thinking is what we know to be as a
In addition, entering a black hole would not only take thousands of years to occur, according to “Spaghetti theory” the gravity would be so intense as you neared the center of the black hole, your body would be stretched out into a thin strip of organic matter. Not to mention that this is all assuming that black holes are connected to other black holes in some separate universe and at a different time. Speaking of which, since time is relative, Spock going into the black hole a few seconds after The Narada, and coming out after it has been 25 years is quite plausible. So both the timeframe and how this scene was portrayed have little scientific background and is most likely
