a big splash in the form of endosymbiosis‚ a condition in which different organisms live together. The idea that endosymbiosis has been around since 1905 when a Russian biologist‚ C. Mereschkowsky‚ hypothesized that plastids‚ like chloroplasts‚ are decedents of bacteria like organisms. Another idea came up in 1927 when I.

Auteur theory stipulates that a film is the direct result of its director’s genius. With the emerging prominence of auteur based criticism in the 1950?s‚ the role of the director became increasingly integral to a film’s success. However most would argue that this form of criticism didn’t reach its apex until 1960s‚ when Andrew Sarris released his seminal works "Notes on the Auteur Theory" (1962) and "The American Cinema" (1968). With this book‚ Sarris further elaborated on Truffault’s theory that "There

Argument against Divine Command Theory In order to analyze the argument presented by Russ Shafer- Landau against the divine command theory‚ it is important to first understand the concept of divine command theory. The author has presented the idea about the ethical objectivity of God which is against the Divine Command theory that says there are the existence of only one God and therefore the uncertainties about the skepticism that are moral in nature are halted for the time.

An Argument Against Divine Command Theory One may make the claim that if there is no God‚ then nothing is morally wrong. Those who are religious may believe this to be true‚ while it seems implausible for an atheist (at least one who claims to have any morals) to believe such a statement. Without addressing the issue of the existence of God‚ I will examine several facets of this claim in order to explore the two main points of view that a theist might have regarding this claim.

The theory of endosymbiosis is that eukaryotes may have developed some of their internal cell structures/organelles from one cell engulfing another cell and then both developing a type of symbiotic relationship. Each engulfed cell would eventually serve a specialized function in support of the new single eukaryotic cell and eventually neither portion would be able to exist independently. This theory was originally developed by Lynn Margulis and there have been various discoveries that have supported

which presented a problem with the theory. There was thought to be a problem with the description of the movement being “slow and gradual”. According to scientists and geologists the movement would have been performed at a rapid speed. A physicist then predicted where the evidence for this rapid movement could be found and it was later proved that the argument against the theory was correct. The biblical view of plate tectonics conveys an argument against this theory as in Genesis it states that the
