Summary Of Life Begins: Crash Course Big History
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.

    Life Decisions In A Lesson Before Dying

    If forces in our life controlled us we'd probably be more robots than human. The fact is, we control the direction of our lives and we chose the direction in which we want it to go. Forces out of our control come our way to reveal our character, and shape us into who we will be. In other words we have the will of choice. Choices we make often have consequences we are well aware of whether good or bad.…

    The Importance Of Life In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    The idea of creating life or prolonging it has been around since the beginning of time and survival was the main key to living longer. In religion creating life has been around since the world and life was created. In evolution life was created through an explosion we call the Big Bang Theory. In 1818 Mary Shelley completed a fiction book of horror, of the demonstrative effect of us creating life could be. Shelley's protagonist victor Frankenstein obsessed with the ability to control the outcome of life. After creating the creature he becomes overwhelmed with the grotesqueness it has and runs away from the responsibility it gave to him.

    Lamarck's Theory

    Before Lamarck, not even scientists and scholars have the idea of finding the genesis of life on earth. What was widely accepted at that time was that the world was created by God. Creatures acted in certain patterns as they were made to be. Also organisms were not considered to be changeable over time. Two hundred years ago, however, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (hereinafter referred to as Lamarck), raised the first theory of evolution which totally disputed this former cognition.…

    is there life on other planet

    Evolutionists have different view about the origin and evolution of life (steady development of the diversity of living things from a common ancestor). Evolutionists say that living and non-living things arose from natural procedure, and they believe that life can exist on any place on the universe. “If life did arise on earth by itself, it would be inconceivable that this is the only planet upon which there is life” (Danny Faulkner). In recent years many scientists searched for extraterrestrial life in outer space, but there was no strong evidence for life in outer space. Yet, they believe, if life has existed from past in the Earth sustaining the climatic change of the Earth, there can be some evolution of life regarding to the climatic condition of other planets. Similarly, Darwin theory of evolution suggests “where life can take hold, it will”, so, one day we might see life on other planet adapting the environment.…
