Evolution Despite the protests of creationists and their intellectual allies, science has long taught that human beings are just another kind of animal, but most of the time this seems like a technicality.

His work, entitled “Origin of Species”, stated the possibility that humans were not created but evolved from natural processes. Although, he was not the first to express these ideas, Darwin’s published theory was ne

Evolution Natural selection, in biology, is the process by which environmental effects lead to varying degrees of reproductive success among individuals of a population of organisms with different hereditary characters, or traits, as defined by Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia. For billions of years, natural selection has been taking place and changing life on this planet. Survival of th

Evolution Since evolutionists generally do not believe that man evolved from any ape that is now living, they look to extinct apes in the fossil record to provide them with their desired evidence. What scientists look for particularly are any anatomical feature that looks "intermediate" between that of apes and man. Fossil apes having such features are generally thought to be ancestral t

Evolution Evolution Evolution is a process of gradual change. The word evolution may refer to various types of change, but most commonly refers to the formation and development of life on earth.

Big Bang Theory It is always a mystery about how the universe began, whether if and when it will end. Astronomers construct hypotheses called cosmological models that try to find the answer. There are two types of models: Big Bang and Steady State. However, through many observational evidences, the Big Bang theory can best explain the creation of the universe. The Big Bang model

Energy All life on Earth depends on energy from the sun. Solar energy is the source of energy for photosynthesis. It provides the warmth necessary for plants and animals to survive. The heat from the sun causes water on the Earth's surface to evaporate and form clouds that eventually provide fresh rainwater. Solar energy is the result of thermonuclear fusion reactions deep within the sun

Fish Study Recently there has been a controversy about the health comsumption of fish. Nutritionists have stated that in mostly large fish, there are dangerous levels of thyl-mercury, which is a poisen that can be DETRIMENTAL to one's health.

What they found was the body of a prostitute that had been bound and beheaded with her liver placed between her lacerated legs. Recognized to be human only by the

Fermentation In our experiment with pH, we did three replicates, hoping for accurate readings. By doing, three replicates we found out results had variations. Our hypothesis states if the rate of fermentation is dependent on pH, in acidic pH the reaction will happen at a faster rate. From this statement out hypothesis is partially correct. The acidic pH3 never reacted at a fast rate.

Flying Insects Insects are the most successful animal on earth, and their ability to fly is a large contributor to this fact. Flying allows them to travel great distances in relatively short time intervals. Finding food, mates and favorable habitats as well as avoiding predation are some advantages of flying. It may sound easy to describe how insects fly, however it really is not easy
