Charles Darwin..evolution..revolution.
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution rocked the 19th century & became so revolutionary, because he was questioning religious views. People began to question god too. I dont believe he is all that because all he did was give his opinion. Evolution changed some peoples point of view when it came to christianity. He became bored in school and was failing at about everything. He then decided to study ministry so he could be able to go into nature and study bugs and science. Darwin feared the Beagle Voyage because he feared claustrophobia. I mean he was 6 feet tall. The boat was 90 feet long and 45 feet wide darwin and other were all stuffed on this boat and there belonging tagged along.
Darwin had to earn his fathers respect and his teachers respect so he could feel accomplished.
He published his Evolution book and had problems with his wife when he got ill. He wanted to publish his findings becasue his daughter had died and another man was going to steal his ideas and publish them and take credit for them. Peoples response on the Origins of the Species was cruel. They laughed at him made jokes and pictures about him and they made him look like a fool. They though that evolution was completly ridiculous. The core beleif of evolution is that animals adapt to there enviroment and they change over time.

Debate
There are many different debates on what matters we are here today, including Creationism, Intelligent design, and Evolution. In my opinion Creationism is the way everything went down. I from personal experinces can guaratee that God did create the earth in seven days and he created man. The reason why I believe that is because I believe in everything that the bible says. I dont beleive that we could start off as monkeys and then turn to humas thats not true.

Human Footprint
I was blown away by the fact that all of the things that we don't recycle are buried under ground.I was blown away by the fact that we eat so much hambuger. I was amazed that we use so much water in one lifetime.I was amazed that we eat so much bread and hot dog buns and hamburger buns. I was also amazed that we drink so much milk in one lifetime.
 That you cannot destroy or create matter.
?
Renewable is capable of being replaced. Non- Renewable is like fuel,oil things that cant be replaced.
Well, I think people should take more concern into recycling because all the things that we dont use and just throw away just gets buried under ground. Thats part of the reason why our country is facing the problems its facing.
I think that its completly ridiculous and there is no excuse for the american consumption in raw materials and goods that are taken in by us.
Well food shortages. recycling things isnt happening
