Title Researchers and scientists have constructed extensive research on dinosaur’s extinction. Speculation instead of real evidence seems common in most theories about the dinosaurs’ extinction. However, Jay Gould’s essay “Sex, Drugs, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs” is the complete opposite of speculation over evidence. Rather, Gould uses the mix of persuasive techniques, such as rhetorical questions, logos, along with profound evidence to not only disapprove of other theories but convince readers of his place on the dinosaur’s extinction.
And expectedly, as an expert witness, he provided knowledgeable and scientific proofs to support the defense side. First of all, he stated his neutrality towards religion, making sure that his evidence is definitely unbiased. Osborn started his delivery with his belief that our ancestors are not ape-like, instead they are more human than ape. As a staff in the museum, he urged the investigation and exhibition of murals, habitat dioramas, and dinosaur mounts. His mentioning of the existence of dinosaurs was conducive to denying the bible.
After Brady says everything in the Bible is true, Drummond says: “now if what you say factually happened--if Joshua halted the sun in the sky--that means the earth stopped spinning on its axis; continents toppled over each other, mountains flew out into space. And the earth, arrested in its orbit, shriveled to a cinder and crashed into the sun. How come they missed this tidbit of news” (Lawrence and Lee 89). Brady looks ignorant as Drummond demolishes him with facts. Drummond considers that Brady says everything in the Bible is true, but why did all these facts get left out from science?
The making of film, or the concept of it, has been around since the beginning of the 18th century. The lens of the camera has captured some of the most beautiful things, but also the most prejudice. Stereotypes of races, ethnicities, and gender have always been around but were widely considered acceptable in films of that era. Almost as long as there have been people filming, there have been people fighting for equality to be presented on the big screen. Danez Smith is one of these modern fighters in his free verse poem “Dinosaurs in the Hood.”
Dr. Mortenson taught his audience on the subject of how the idea that the earth is billions of years old became such an accepted belief, and is almost unquestioned by the current generation. Using Processional organization, he presented his speech through the years of different atheists and deists such as Jean Lamarck, and Pierre Laplace, as well as through the eyes of “liberal theologians” such as Thomas Chalmers, and George Stanley. Dr. Mortenson showed his audience through means of informative speech, how we should understand that the prevailing belief the world is billions of years old, did not happen overnight. Through his approach to the audience, his organizational process, and his informative strategy, Dr. Mortenson could effectively or inefficiently captivate and inform his audience or confuse them further on the subject. Dr. Mortenson kept eye contact with his audience almost the entire time he spoke, only looking down briefly to read notes.
As discussed in the article by Clive Thompson, many people use different ways of speaking. Based on text conversations, social media posts, and comments language has made a drastic change. TBH grammar has made like a huge change on society. Lookin at billboards and social media, people post is a totally diff manner than speaking. Lol I remember the last conversation I had with my aunt that lives in Charleston, SC.
The book “Darwin’s Doubt” by Stephen C Meyer attempts to negate the negativity surrounding the theory of intelligent design by giving a creationist’s perspective on the different issues surrounding the controversy and provide an argument for the legitimacy of intelligent design from a scientific and rational viewpoint. The book is broken into three different sections part one titled “The Mystery of Missing Fossils”, part two titled “How to build an animal” and part 3 titled “After Darwin. What?” Part one of the book focuses on the lack of validation and evidence hence the name “The Mystery of Missing Fossils” and gives a very brief introduction to the problems of missing fossils, missing phyla, and just general missing validation of the evolutionary
There are persons I have met in life that speak a lot, but say little. A person might be using a lot of words while speaking but conveying little information. It is very important to learn how to use words effectively in order to achieve your goal (whether it is to teach, to inform, to persuade, to critique or to comfort). There is no person on this Earth that has not regretted saying the wrong words at the wrong time in their lives. Speaking the right words to relate messages, meanings, emotions is an art that needs to be learned, and it is not easy no matter if we have the gift of speech or not.
The Jurassic period doesn’t just sound cool, it is cool! This is when the continents broke apart, massive sea flooding inland occurred, huge amounts of future fossil fuels were deposited, large numbers of very interesting fossils were deposited, in many ways this is the period where the rubber meets the road with regard to modern societal resources and interests. Much of the initial work on Jurassic period strata was conducted in western Europe, during the early 19th century.
The New Testament of the Bible proved its reliability and authenticity through different evaluation. First of all, the Bible passes the Bibliography Test, which is an examination using ancient documents to compare with the textual materials. According to Daniel Wallace, he stated that over 200 biblical manuscripts were discovered in the Sinai in 1975. In 2005, one of the textual critics, Bart Ehrman argues that the biblical manuscripts have many spelling difference and synonyms that are used in the text. However he didn’t comprehend that these limited amounts of mistakes couldn’t threaten the central meaning of the text.
Stuttering is found to occur across cultures, languages and races; it affects both monolingual and bilingual speakers (Guitar, 2013). According to Gordon (2005), Mandarin is the most widely spoken language in the world, with more than one billion speakers worldwide. In the United States, over 60 million people speak a language other than English (Ryan, 2013), among which Mandarin is the second most common spoken language (about 2.9 million). Statistics shows that increasingly more people have started to speak Mandarin in the United States over the past three decades (345.3% change) (Ryan, 2013).
Scientists across various fields of studies with excellent academic achievements voice their unwavering belief in the theory of creation, and they depict multiple experiments and studies to solidify the validity of creationism. Evolution versus creationism is a battle that began long before today’s modern trials and protests, yet the same basic principles still exist. Creationism is as scientific as evolution, and evolution is as faith-based as
With confidence we know, a baby dolphin is a procreation of its parent dolphins. If questioned the ancestral origin of it, the answer would be, it’s from some kind of fish. But in reality, the earliest ancestors of them are not marine creatures, but a terrestrial creature - Hippopotamuses. This knowledge evoked a certain confusion I had about Natural Science making me realize, what people know with confidence is nothing but a tiny bit of a large story known as ‘knowledge’. While the term confidence can be defined as the ability to know for sure, doubt is defined as a feeling of uncertainty and a lack of conviction.
Nicalea Greenlee Astronomy, 7 December 15, 2017 Science vs. Religion Science and religion has always been an argument for years. I think science and religion are both very important to the way of life and how we see the entire universe. But I believe religion is more believable than science. For science can be proven wrong at any given time and religion can never be stated untrue. Such as the story of creation, evolution, practices and beliefs can contradict these theories.
