Weston Meehan

In at presents lodge in that location is a war going on, a battle to control our minds, hearts, and souls with a simple thought process. An judgment so spartan that it not solely has it indoctrinated us as a generation, notwithstanding indoctrinating future generations with step up so much has a scrap of scientific test. An idea that questions our livelihood, why we argon here, why we do what we do, and where do we go when it is all in all said and d unrivaled and only(a). This idea is k this instant as the evolutionary surmise and its concepts derived virtually cc years ago by Charles Darwin in his restrain the Origin of Species.Darwin states I see no safe reasons why the tantrums given in this volume should rap the religious views of anyone. (1859, pp. 520) Claiming phylogenesis does not exist would be as empirical as proving paragon does exist. In these arguments there is no middle ground, either theology does exist or he does not, either organic evolution is r eal or it is not. There is only one way to prove the evidence and that is to seek it bulge out with examination. Would much(prenominal) evidence exist? If so what could peradventure the nature of this evidence?Before the evolutionary contingentnesss inception the four burning questions of art object has been who am I, where did I come from, why am I here, and where do I go when I die? The answer to these questions has al shipway been some salmagundi of religion, and that this orbit has a designer with an incredible plan. this instant as time has progressed a precise dangerous solution was introduced to the world and with its arrival it is changing the very(prenominal) fabric of charitableity. The new religion of the day is attainment and this affects our legal system, school system, and thought process.These effects everyplace time posterior be detrimental to the minds and ethical motive of us as a society. One of the about basic and fundamental questions of the hum an mind is the question, does God exist? The one thing every human has in common is having a worldview. A worldview is how you view the world. There argon two ways you tolerate view this world. Some raft look at this world and say, its amazing this came from evolution that is the Evolutionists worldview. some others say, this world has incredible design there must be a designer this is the Creationists worldview.These two views be polar- adversary from each other in a collide where one side has to be wrong. When mentioning Evolution, keep in mind that there are six theories and clog upground to the word evolve. Cosmic Evolution the root of time, space, and matter i. e. the gigantic Bang. Chemical Evolution the inventory of higher elements from hydrogen. Stellar and Planetary Evolution origin of stars and planets. Organic Evolution the origin of life. Macroevolution the changing from one human body in to another. Finally, Microevolution variations within kinds.These th eories are study in every the Statesn education political program but only one has scientifically been prove. In a common Webster Dictionary from an online website the definition of the Big Bang Theory (Cosmic Evolution) is a possibility in astronomy the universe originated billions of years ago in an explosion from a single point of nearly infinite energy density. (Webster Dictionary Online) Another is Alan Guths surmisal stating, the absolute observable universe could precede over evolved from an infinitesimal ( Greek for dot) region.Its whence tempting to go one step further and speculate that the entire universe evolved from literally nothing. (1984 p. 128). The two theories of the creation of the priming are basically the same but the Evolutionists conceive it happened for no reason. The Creationists believe that God was the churchman. The first right of the Conservation of matter is that, matter (and or energy) cannot be created or destroyed. Thus, if the matt er cannot be created nor destroyed then who created this world? The choices hitherto remain, it created itself or someone created it.Scientifically how can something be created from nothing unless there was a creator? Instead of raising questions that are gaudy, scientific, and quite honestly a bit harder to understand I would identical to use memorial as the main ancestor of discussion. The arguments al nigh skeptics tend to stray away from are whether or not Dinosaurs existed with man. As ridiculous as that might sound to do believe that the very thought of such a notion living could shake the beliefs of your modern Evolutionists. If dinosaurs did exist then the Evolutionary theory would be completely and utterly dishonorable and visa versa for creation.This topic is rarely touched establish on just due to most of societies presuppositions on the matter and considering alternative evidence with an unbiased undefended mind. Lets start with the question what happened to the dinosaurs? and there are scores of theories on this matter. The main theory is that a comet struck the earth, and the dust that was raised blockade out the sun. When the sun was blocked out the humour turned c honest-to-goodness and the c honest-to-god-blooded animals couldnt survive. The taint in this theory is that we still have animals today such as alligators, crocodiles, and Komodo tophuss and supposedly these species date back to before the inosaurs were evolved (according to Evolution). Another theory is E. Baldwins exotic notion to say that they use to eat a laxative plant and when this plant went extinct the dinosaurs died out due to constipation. (2002, pp. 210) According to the Bible there was a major(ip) catastrophe that wiped out the Dinosaurs as fountainhead as most of the life on Earth. This was the spacious Genesis flood, which was global destroying all of existence drop a man styled Noah, his family, and two of every kind of animal to be taken aboard an A rk and to repopulate the Earth.Logically, Noah would of obtained only infant animals. This is for three reasons they eat less, sleep more, and take up less room. This account of a global flood is not only install in the Bible but in every major cultures fib such as China, Mesopotamia, and Polynesian cultures. In 1841 the first use of the experimental condition Dinosauria (meaning terrible lizard) was created by the famous British anatomist and fossilist Sir Richard Owen. The term was used for the first time at a shock of the British Association of the overture of science held in Plymouth. No reptile now exists which provides a complicated and thecodont dentition with limbs so proportionally large and strong having such well-developed spirit bones and sustaining the weight of the trunk by synchrondrosis or anchylosis to so wide and complicated a sacrum, as in the order Dinosauria. (Owen 42) After that meeting the word Dinosaur became a popular term to bring out these giant lizards that were being discovered by paleontologists. During the 1800s after the first discovery of theses fossils scientists began to look for breath to what had happened to these terrible lizards.Unfortunately the focus was on the rocks and buried fossils and failed to see to it history on what had really happened. Examining ancient history and the diachronic record you will not set out the word dinosaur remember the word dinosaur was not created until 1841. each culture shared a common name for these creatures but the most familiar is the name firedrake. even out in our local librarys lexicon the definition of dragon shares a chilling forceion. nevertheless the old dictionaries recognize these dragons to be real and not apart of myth.It seems that all cultures have variant names for these dragons such as the list provided on rogue 13. Dragon history is nearly universal by ancient cultures. Where did this concept derive? Why is it so universal among cultures that ar e separated by continents? How did societies by out the world report, etch, draw, and sew these creatures with such uniformity if they were not of witness accounts? Certain things that arent shown to us growing up when learning the evolutionary theory as well as all of history are all of the artwork of the ancient cultures and the pack of the culture depicting dinosaurs.It is safe to say that most of all the ancient art are primarily illustrations of everyday life and this gives us a high-priced idea of how these cultures hunted, lived, and the ceremonies they practiced. The highly technical civilization of the Nazca Indians come to the coast of Peru flourished from about 1 A. D. to 750 A. D. These cultures produced an array of technologies as well as crafts including ceramics, textiles, and geoglyphs. Today it is still unappreciated how this culture produced these geoglyphs called the Nazca lines. The Nazca Indians also produced thousands of carvings on burial stones, these carvings are known as the Ica stones.There have been over 16,000 of these rum stone found over the years. They contain depictions of routine life, battle scenes, advanced technologies, and most amazingly dinosaurs. some skeptics try to debunk the Ica stones being a boloney or created during our time period, but the evidence points otherwise. Other than the Ica stones there has been thousands of pieces of ancient art depicting dinosaurs found in legion(predicate) different cultures spreading over the planet. The authenticity of this art has divided skeptics, but most that have no preconceived biases believe in their genuine nature.Here are just some of the different examples of the uniformity of these creatures that are shared. Again, how could each culture depict these dinosaurs if they were not of eyewitness accounts? Could it be possible that dinosaurs still exist today? For at least a hundred years there have been many reputable reports in position speaking countries of c omprehend a dinosaur want creature in the lakes of Loch Ness, Champlain, and Ogopogo. The accounts describe a Plesiosaur or a wet dwelling dinosaur. These lakes are vast bodies of water reach depths of four hundred feet in certain parts.To number to the elusiveness of these creatures it is believed that like crocodiles, alligators, and caimans this type of dinosaur is nocturnal. The most intriguing of eyewitness reports do not come from the lakes of England, Scotland, or America but from the darkest regions of the African Congo a sop named Likoula. Likoula is the largest swamp in the world, 55,000 square miles in coat and remains eighty percent unexplored. Most civilise people do not venture into these swamps due to the harsh conditions, but tribes people living in the swamp say that several(prenominal) creatures that are apparent dinosaurs are still resilient today.Theres a creature the natives call Mokele-Embembe depict as a large animal 16 to 32 feet in length with a long neck and a tail. It is also alleged that the reddish-brow to gray, which lives in the swamp and only eats on vegetation. ( fractional-God, Half-Beast, 1999) The topic Geographic show The Beast Man presented an installation where the host interviewed a local villager and the experiences he had with the creature. The villager stated, it was a long time ago, I was scared and ran away. (Beast Man) This shows the function of the creature and how scary it can appear.The Bible shares a probable depiction of this very same creature, observe now behemoth, which I made with thee he eateth tummy as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God he that made him can move in his sword to approach unto him. (King James Bible, Job. 40. 15-19) The dangers of the t heory of Evolution have affected and corrupted the minds of people for generations.With the evidence shown the devotion put in to this theory brings obedience similar to no other. Most scientists put all of their trustingness in science just like as if it were a religion. As a Christian would lay their faith in to the Bible their faith lies in theories that are still not proven today. I chose to interview an Environmental erudition prof at our college to question his openness and possibility of such a notion. In my interview with professor Meizeka I asked, if dinosaurs still existed and what would that do to the evolutionary theory? He then stated its not possible when I told him about the eyewitness accounts in the Likoula flood he stammered around the question stating it just doesntyoure certainly going to find species that we never thought existed, but a large home dinosaur hard to believe. My question never seemed to be answered if the theory would be shaken or not but may be his silence speaks volumes. Why are these issues confronted with such skepticism? What would be the reasoning behind not thoroughly accessing the possibility of this phenomenon?In conclusion done out all of my re search and reflecting on my thesis, the Evolutionary Theory has indeed indoctrinated society. The majority of scientists would rather turn down the possibility of dinosaurs existence with man to better implement their belief system. The scariest notion is what if this theory was made to check our generation and future generations in the belief of creation. (Word Count) 2231 ? Dragons in Different Cultures 1.
