In the Beginning, God Created the Earth

The statement “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,” has brought a lot of reactions to my mind especially after taking this course: From Atoms to Humans. The creation has phased itself with either the lawful self-assembly’s actions (produces order spontaneously) or the agent-designed assembly’s actions (requires energy moving through the system).

Scriptures state that in the beginning, the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. This confirms the thesis of the dark matter in the universe as the foundation or source of the galaxies that we have. But this dark matter needs energy called dark energy to influence the expansion of the universe. This energy is mysterious to scientists but understood by us through revealed truth as the power of God. Hence, He is above all creations either lawfully self-made or agent-designed made.

Our current cultures make us consider darkness as negative, harmful, or evil. But as a Chinese proverb states “It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness”, the Great Architect did exactly the same. Through the darkness, He added light!

Our Earth planet has undergone several developments to become a habitable place for diverse animals and plants. From its center, the Earth is composed of four layers: the inner core, the outer core, the mantle, and the crust. With the crust being the only habitable place for animals. Therefore, the age of life is divided into three parts. First the Precambrian, the era that is connected with the existence of bacteria and related unicellular organisms; second the Mesozoic Life which was characterized by the existence of giant reptiles, dinosaurs, and other monstrous beasts; and last the Cenozoic which is our Earth's current world characterized by the dominance of mammals, birds and flowering plants, a cooling and drying climate, and the current configuration of continents. 

The lawful self-assembly’s actions are seen in so many ways. For example, as the superheated center of the Earth, the core is basically the production unit of rock and metal. These rocks once force out of their equilibrium, undergo a rock cycle that consists of three types of rock: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Another phenomenon is seen when two plates collide. During this incident, one plate can be pushed under the other and force magma through holes in the crust causing a volcanic eruption which in return breaks down and weather to form some of the most fertile soils on Earth.

Family Relations: Parenting   Fabrice T. Banyingela Home and Family Department, BYU-Idaho FAML 160: Family Relations Ryanne Burnett March 27 th , 2022  ------------------- ------------ ------------------  Page 1 ------------------- ------------ ------------------ Abstract Throughout this week, I have learned that parenting is a skill that is mostly disregarded as a full-time job but in reality forms a core responsibility of parents. Parents need to trust their kids, lead with example, and create a very good & forgiving environment. As part of my study from Marriage and Family: The Quest for Intimacy and other readings, I have received knowledge about the four Parenting Styles: Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive, and Uninvolved. I will use two experiences I have had with parents in order to address some of the parenting styles.             Keywords: a utocratic parenting, active parenting, missed opport...

2b Design: A creative social business in Lebanon

2b Design: A creative social business in Lebanon Introduction After accumulating enough managerial experience as an entrepreneur, Raja Moubarak and his wife Benedicte de Blavous moved to Lebanon in 2003 and three years later decided to create a social business named 2b Design which specialized in transforming architectural salvage into works of art. 2b Design has a clear mission: “restoring the unseen beauty of the broken” which will focus on maintaining disappearing artwork, buildings, and tradition through artistic creations and employing marginalized individuals especially the unemployable along with the disabled. This mission is accomplished by gathering and utilizing wrought iron, decorative wood, and other elements found in scrapyards and old Lebanese homes thus preserving a heritage that was ever more in danger of disappearing while touching and improving the lives of the broken (people whose socio-economic status or disabilities hindered them from leading a decent life). ...

By understanding the nature of a business and its ethics in order to solve a social issue, this course has awakened my entrepreneurship desire as a calling ...
