teaching evolution. Many have recently swayed to a pro intelligent design mindset due to scientists having no empirical evidence to explain Charles Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection‚ which is said to be the process in which our world’s structure of evolution follows. Darwin’s theory implies that species exist due to the natural change in which they inhabit to survive their environment; yet‚ it lacks the explanation on how the origin of life began. Thus‚ causing a suggestion of an intelligent designer

any language means a contraction‚ reduction and impoverishment of the sum total of the reservoir of human thought and knowledge as expressible through language. To what extent do you agree with this?

Evolution is the change in genetic composition of organisms between generations. Evolution is the process that results in organisms becoming more varied and better adapted in comparison to their ancestors. The driving force of evolution is natural selection. Natural selection is the process where individuals containing specific traits become more likely to survive compared to individuals without those traits. Because certain individuals have a greater chance to survive‚ they become more likely to reproduce

natural selection‚ evolution‚ mutation‚ variation‚ heritability‚ and fitness. EVOLUTION IN ACTION Darwin envisioned natural selection acting so slowly that its effects would be imperceptible in a human lifetime. But in the late 1900s‚ evolutionary biologists began to detect small but significant changes taking place in a handful of species. In the past decade‚ many more cases of natural selection have come to light‚ and scientists now realize that species can adapt quickly to changes in their

Metaphors are part of technology simply because language is a part of technology and metaphors are “characteristics of language‚” as Lakoff and Johnson explain that make up this “extraordinary language” that people use on a daily basis (3). Many people simply consider metaphors as “just words‚” not thoughts or ideas‚ when actually they are heavily involved with the “conceptual system” and the way people think‚ interact‚ explain‚ and perceive the world based on ideas and objects.

Natural Forces A natural force is a power brought on by nature. Natural forces‚ unlike those of other powers‚ are uncontrollable. When a hurricane passes along the coast‚ a bolt of lightning strikes a rooftop‚ and a volcano erupts‚ these are all examples of natural forces. Natural forces can have devastating effects on wildlife‚ humans‚ and the earth itself. Our effects to resist these occurrences‚ our only way to cope with such devastating forces of nature are to observe‚ learn‚ and prepare
