What is life, how did it start and who created it? No one really knows how life was created and how it evolved. Scientist believe that life is the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death. Beyond our earth there are unknown billions of miles of space that includes galaxies, solar systems and planets. Earth is 4.5 billion years old however the universe is 14 billion years old. The earliest forms of humans were documented to be on earth 200,000 years ago. This time frame is microscopic compared to the time span of our universe. I believe that there is extraterrestrial life beyond our planet and that aliens have been to earth in the past.
Many famous scientists, such as Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, and Miyuki Hatoyama, believe in extraterrestrial life. Experts base their belief on statistics of huge numbers that extraterrestrial life has the high probability of existing. There are billions of galaxies that have millions of solar systems and trillions of planets. Many of these planets must have some type of life form due to the infinite probabilities. Recently, NASA discovered that Mars has ice on the surface which indicates water was present when the planet was warmer. The most important element to sustain life is water. If Mars had water, could it have had intelligent life forms in its history?
On a regular basis, I watch Ancient Aliens, a television show on the History Channel. The show has credible, famous scientists and Ancient Alien theorists that offer evidence and hypothesis on important structural ruins created on the Earth in the past. This television show has made me believe in alien life. One example is the Great Pyramids, but we’ve all heard of the connection how aliens may have helped lift the heavy pyramid stones. However, more compelling proof surrounds two other places, Puma Punku and Nazca

    In John/Hank Green’s video, “Life Begins: Crash Course Big History #4,” he discusses many different concepts encompassing the beginning of life on Earth. Life can adapt, metabolize and reproduce; but even these broad standards can make it difficult to classify certain things as ‘living.’ Regardless, the underlying principle is that life will actively try and increase its longevity, contrast to non-living things, which make no active attempt to exist longer. Another big idea is the transformation of scientific knowledge regarding life. For hundreds of centuries, even scientists believed that life could spontaneously appear – if food were to be left out in the open. This concept was shot down by scientist Louis Pasteur, who conducted an…

    In the case of Egypt’s pyramid the pyramids truly hold the vault of questions towards multiple Anthropology subgenres, but the most prominent is Archaeology. One major question that is above them all, is how in a world of sticks and copper tools did they manage to build a monument that today with our technology we can not even begin to build? Josh Bernstein attempted to answer these questions by talking to multiple sources, Like John Vanhawken the man who believes that the dwellers who escaped the fate of Atlantis came and constructed these monuments for its people. While others like Zahi Hawass believe that the Egyptians did in fact create the pyramids. Zahi Hawass has strong evidence as they have uncovered multiple tombs, pharaohs inside as well as copper tools and his most important piece of evidence is in the fifth floor resides markings behind the stones that have initials and one of the groups that helped construct the amazing structures. But on the other hand John Vanhawken has evidence such as the structure size that we cannot build with todays technology, How they are aligned exactly with Orion stars suggest that no civilization was capable of such accuracy.…

    Have you ever wondered how many of the great marvels of the world were created? The pyramids of Egypt were a great marvel constructed by men—as far as we know it—with such precision that it’s makes you wonder. The pyramids are not a building stile only know to Egyptians. The Mayans also use pyramid style buildings in their temples. Why two different civilizations, separated by miles away with no connection with each other, built so precise constructions, like the pyramids? Somehow they were influenced by the same culture.…

    Failure is something no one likes. I have learned over the years that failure is perceived as a bad thing. No one ever told me failure could be taken as a good thing. That was until I read a story in This I Believe II. The author explained why he liked failure and why failure could be a good thing. Forgiveness is something everyone should learn. Many people in our lives may do wrong to us and if we hold on to the hurt and anger we will never find happiness. I was one of those people who could hold a grudge forever, and then I realized that being happy was more important to me so I learned forgiveness (mainly with a little help). When I read a story in This I Believe II I realized the author had a life very similar to mine. It help me appreciate learning forgiveness.…

    I believe that to be an American means to believe in yourself and stand up for what you believe in. So I have a story to tell about a boy in my third grade class and what he believed in. In my third grade class at Fort Crawford we had a variety of students but one student was very different than the rest of us. His name was Gino and he was a Jehovah witness. Gino was everyone’s friend and we did not treat him any differently than everyone else but my classmates and I didn’t understand some of the strange things he did or rather didn’t do. To begin with he didn’t celebrate birthdays not even his own and he also didn’t recognize any national holidays such as Christmas and Halloween. But the one thing that didn’t just confuse us but also confused the faculty at my school is that Gino didn’t say the pledge of allegiance. One day Gino brought into class a book to read at recess about two boys who also didn’t say the pledge of allegiance. In the book two students were confronted by their teacher about not saying the pledge allegiance and were sent to the principal’s office. Once in the office the principal had an American flag on his desk. He asked the boys to spit on the flag. The first boy spit on the flag before the principal even finished his sentence but the second boy refused. The principal didn’t understand why a student that wouldn’t say the pledge of allegiance also showed respect to the flag by not spitting on it. The student explained to the principal that he didn’t mean any disrespect to the flag by not saying the pledge of allegiance. The student loved America it was just against his religion to say the pledge. That book helped my classmates and I understand that Gino wasn’t being bad by not saying the pledge; he just had a different believe than the rest of us did.…

    Earth is the only planet in the universe we know supports life and the life indigenous to Earth is the only life we know of in the universe. Although it is possible, and in fact likely when considering the size of the universe, that life exists in forms that we can not at this point conceive of, we are limited in this field by what we know for certain, and that is that all life we've studied is carbon based, evolved in an environment rich in oxygen, nitrogen hydrogen and carbon, and uses water as a solvent to facilitate biochemical reactions. Although alternative biochemistries are entirely possible, and life that is not biochemical but rather electrical or mineral may also be possible, if we open the door to these possibilities this report might never end. For the sake of brevity the information I present here will be based on the assumption that life that life is organic, carbon based, is dependent on some sort of energy source, either tidal, geothermal or solar and requires some sort of solvent, either water, liquid ammonia or liquid hydrocarbons.…

    This theory is also known as Materialistic Theory or Physico-chemical Theory. According this theory, Origin of life on earth is the result of a slow and gradual process of chemical evolution that probably occurred about 3.8 billion years ago. This theory was proposed independently by two scientists - A.I.Oparin, a Russian scientist in 1923 and J.B.S Haldane, an English scientist, in…

    I believe in tanning. I believe everybody should have the freedom of tanning. Tanning to me equals identity. This topic is a choice that embodies my personal beliefs, and I feel it is extremely important. I never really noticed how fortunate I am as an American to have the option of tanning. When I think of freedom of tanning, I think of choice. Others in third world countries will never have the luxury of the many choices I have. For them, tanning is not an option because they don’t have the freedom of choice.…

    NASA does a “lot of different things” including looking for extraterrestrial life (NASA budget cuts, 2013). NASA has been on a mad hunt to try and find new life. A big accomplishment for NASA is that they have been able to find old microorganisms on Mars. This suggests that there has once been life on Mars. They are trying their hardest to try and get people living Mars. They have set up a program that allows people to sign up to live on Mars.…
