Scientific Societies Of The Enlightenment
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The Enlightenment was one of the central tasks where the major thinkers and scientific societies of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries established themselves. What this means in terms of the manner in which philosophers and scientists looked at the broader scope of existence lies within the works produced during that period. Having both embraced and critiqued the Enlightenment, the scientific societies recognized it as a time in which all of mankind could break free from the confines of what had heretofore been accepted as a universal recognition of existence; with each individual following in the footsteps of those who went before, without any question as to why things were accomplished in any certain order, the time for the Enlightenment symbolized the chance to break free from such scientific constraints.

Problems of Fossil Fuels and the Advantages of Solar Energy
[ send me this paper ]
This 20 page report discusses the technological dependency of the industrialized world on fossil fuels and the ways in which those fuels have steadily degraded the Earth’s environment. The general public’s concern about the environment, the multiple efforts of environmental activists, along with fresh ways of thinking by scientists and resource managers, has led to a new philosophy regarding the handling of the unique natural properties of living on Earth. This philosophy says that humanity has the capability to manage resources to sustain a full array of values and uses through a broader understanding of the ecosystems they inhabit. One of the most valuable and environmentally-friendly sources of energy is solar power. Information regarding solar energy is also presented. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Evolution and Creationism
[ send me this paper ]
A 16 page paper discussing the strengths and weakness of the views of the creationists and the evolutionists. While evolutionists present a single group, creationists come adhering to all manner of ideas and theories. The most vocal group are the young-earth creationists, who maintain the earth likely is 6,000 years old and certainly no more than 10,000. Regardless of the unwillingness of this group to accept evolutionary theory as plausible or even as fact, there are other creationist groups who do, who even embrace evolution as a sign of God's involvement in progressive creation. The paper examines each side's strengths, weaknesses, conflicts and evidence. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
