Foundation and Earth

Jesus before the foundation of the earth (Jn 17:24). This shows that the foundation of the universe goes back to infinity. When viewed from a geological standpoint, the earth is stated to be more than 4.6 billion years old. Many archeologists, geologists, and other scientists use a variety of means to date the earth, such as rock facies or archeological findings. These discoveries are only a guess, hypothesis, or theory that cannot be logically proven. Although I do not believe the earth to be millions

The Anthropocene Epoch Humanity is confronted by multiple environmental challenges which threaten to undermine the advances in health achieved over recent decades. The Rockefeller Foundation/Lancet Commission on Planetary Health showed how climate change, loss of biodiversity, land use change, ocean acidification and overfishing, nitrogen and phosphorus loading and environmental pollution more generally all have the potential to adversely affect health through a range of pathways1. A recent joint

presuppositions, and (2) answering one foundational question. He uses an illustration of a boy asking his dad what holds up the earth. After answering that the world is held up first by camel, then underneath that a kangaroo, the dad finally concludes that an elephant ultimately holds it all together; his father is pressed to name what Sire calls, “a prime foundation” or “the final foundation of reality” (16). Sire

story is based on the Bible, and more specifically, on the first three chapters of the book of Genesis as contained in the New International Version (NIV). Chapter 1 The chapter begins with the existence of Supreme Being, God, who created heaven and earth from rather a formless and void full of darkness; “let there be light; let there be an expanse between the waters……” Genesis 1:3, 6. This reveals the power of a supernatural being that controls the universe; and that absolute power lies with God, the

Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. He developed a heliocentric model of the universe. Prior to his time, an earth centered model, also known as the Ptolemaic model, was believed because it was simply ‘common sense’ that the earth was motionless as the sun rises and set from east to west, respectively. Unlike Nicolaus Copernicus, his predecessors believed in geocentrism; the theory which Earth is the center of the universe, which

so large that conventional units such as kilometers or astronomical units are often too cumbersome to use. Some limitations are that parallax angles of less than 0.001 arcsec are very difficult to measure from Earth because of the effects on the Earth’s atmosphere. This limits Earth based telescopes to measuring the distances to stars about 10.01 or 100 parsecs away. Spaced based telescopes can get accuracy to 0.001, which has increased the number of stars whose distance could be measured with

Knowing from whence someone or something came is very important. It is important because the origin of a person or thing provides a steady foundation for what is to come later on. The foundation can be a good one or a bad one. If the foundation is good, the end product usually is a good one. If the foundation is bad, it may explain the cracks or weaknesses in the finished product. This is why the origin of all things is so important. The one thing that most religions have in come is that they

John D and Catharine T. MacArthur Foundation The world has thousands of pressing issues ranging from hunger and illness to injustice and education for children and due to the extremity of these matters most people believe that one person can’t make a difference. While it seems impossible there are around 86,726 foundations which were started from one person wanting to make a change ("Foundation Stats " 2014). A foundation is anon-profit non-government run organization whose purpose is to ae grants

The Renaissance is an important part of history because it was seen as the start of the new modern era. It is plausible to give this time such a title, since it portrayed a largely profound influence on the eras to follow. “Never before (or since) had there been such a coming together of art, science and philosophy” (The Renaissance - why it changed the world). During the Renaissance, many new ideas and inventions emerged. The popularity of “inventing” was a result of social needs among various people
