Design Argument--Does God exist? I found William Paley’s design argument in The Watch and the Watch-Maker the most compelling and thought provoking because I thought he had an interesting point symbolizing the watch as the universe and the watch-maker as the universe-maker or God. Paley doesn’t give a scientific explanation‚ but instead bases his work on observation and logical thinking unlike Robin Collins’s argument in his work‚ A Scientific Argument for the Existence of God‚ which is supported

THe Pillars of the Big bang theory THE 3 PILLARS OF THE BIG BANG THEORY In the beginning there was nothing-no time to describe ‘when’ or no space to fill matter in. From this void sprung our universe when time and space came into existence as one entity. Despite its name the big bang theory isn’t really a theory about a bang at all. It is really only a theory about the aftermath of a bang (Allen Guth). The Big Bang theory is widely accepted by modern scientists‚ some however still doubt

that point had believed that the universe was static‚ even Albert Einstein himself tried to modify the equations of General Relativity to allow for a static universe. They were all wrong! In 1929 an American astronomer named Edwin Hubble was (1) studying the redshift from other galaxies when he noticed that they were moving away from ours. Alexander Friedmann had earlier solved the equations of General Relativity to show models of the universe where the universe was actually expanding despite Einstein

substantivalism is true‚ then for any model of the general theory of relativity representing a physically possible universe‚ there is a hole diffeomorphism of that model which represents a physically possible universe that is observationally equivalent to the first universe and is exactly like the first universe up to a certain region‚ the hole‚ but different from the first universe with respect to how the metric and matter-energy fields are spread within the hole. This physical difference transcends

Bram Stoker’s Dracula remains one of the more recognizable novels of its genre despite being published in 1897. A classic horror story which has been retold and produced over and over again since its original publication‚ Dracula was especially disturbing when it originally was released because of how Stoker attacks Victorian era social mores and norms throughout the entire novel. Stoker subverts traditional 19th Century social mores and norms in Dracula through the portrayal of sexually aggressive

It seemed they were more disciplined‚ stronger‚ held each

those pertaining to the way the universe works‚ are relatable and weigh on my people’s minds. For example‚ one theme is the fear of oblivion. I believe this is a theme in many people’s lives‚ not just in this book. The most prevalent theme‚ in my opinion‚ is the insensitivity of the universe. This theme is supported by the characters and the event that occur with in the book. Overall‚ the predominant theme in the Fault in Our Stars is the insensitivity of the universe‚ because of the unceasing occurrence

Dark energy what is it? Dark energy is a unknown energy said to take up 70 percent of the universe. The energy is a repulsive gravitational effect that is causing the universe to accelerate out-ward. No one knows exactly what dark energy is or where it comes from. Dark Energy is a new idea. Little is known about dark energy‚ yet it takes up a huge amount if the universe. Scientist were able to show the universe was expanding at an accelerated rate by measuring the red-shift of an object by comparing
