Science vs. Religion

Science and religion are two completely different creatures. Science has to do with the study of things and items. In science we do not try to use religion. They try to stay away from religion as much as they can. If religion influences science, then it might not be correct, and it would be wrong. For example, they scientist who are studying the creation of how the Earth was made and are trying to discover how humans came about. They are guessing that humans came from monkeys and primates. We are in the same class of species and we do have very many similarities, this is why the scientist think we are origanited from the monkey. If science was influenced by religion this theory would not even exsist. The Bible says that humans came from God and dust. It never says anything about us coming from monkeys. Science needs to stay away from religion because we would not discover anything because we would think that we already knew it all because we only need to know what is in the Bible. Ben Franklin was a scientist. He was not a very religious man. He discovered many important things to society today. Since he was not concerned with religion, he was able to be put things together and risk things to make awesome discoveries. Religion is a very impportant thing in life. Religion helps us to be able to make a path in our life. It gives us a path to follow and to obtain to. It also gives us a plan for when we pass and lets us know where we will end up. Religion is and was very important to the Puritans. They followed the Bible like crazy and they tried not to stray away from it. We need both, religion and science in our society because it gives us a religious view on life and a scientific view. They are both very important to how we know and how we live our lives.

Organized Religion

Organized Religions are religions that have a structure. They follow a certain order of events for the church. Organized religions follow a certain text or thing. Puritan religion is an organized religion. They follow the Bible. That is their form of Scripture. They also have rules they follow. I think organized religions are good. it is good to have structure in a religion. If there is no organization, the religion becomes unorganized or corrupt. It become unorganized because the people do not know what to do. They do not have a plan what to study and praise. There needs to be organization so people know what they need to pray to. Religion become corrupt if there is no organization because people try to take over. Everyone thinks they have the best ideas and they think they should be the leaders. There can only be one leader. If there is more than one leader, there is chaos in the church. The people start to fight over rights and rules. There needs to be organization because people need to know who they should look up to for inspiration. Organized religions, if they are ran correctly, are inspiring and welcoming. The people want to go to church and praise their gods. I like organized religions. I am a gold personality. That means I like the structure of the church that is organized. It means they have a purpose and they are getting stuff done and it is not just chaos the whole time. If i was a priest, I would be in an organized church. First of all because they are preaching for a purpose. Unorganized religions do not seem like they are studying anything. It seems to me that they just get together and practice anything they want to without any Scripture to follow. I want to follow something that has a meaning and does something for the better of things. Organized religions mean something because they have a plan and they follow it and it is easy to follow.

Proofo reading

Proof reading is very important. It shows the reader the author knows what he is talking about. The short video we watched the man showed a lot of examples of proof reading errors. Most of the errors that were given as examples were mostly words that were spelled correctly, but it was the wrong word all together. The man made a point that we need to check our papers ourselves and we should be responsible about it. He said he got spell checker once and he thought he was okay because he got all the underlined words fixed, and he did not have to read the paper again. He was wrong. When he turned in the paper, the teacher made him come up to the front of the class and present it. There was a lot of immature mistakes in the paper, but he had to read them. The guy learned that he must check his own work. He said this was all his fault because the computer does not know what he wants to say. The computer just guesses and hopes it is right. It is the persons job to check the paper themselves to make sure the words are correct. I do not usually check my own work. I usually just spell check it, then i turn it in. He makes a good point to check the work because we never know what words the computer might put in. The guy on the video was very immature. He thought it necessary to use innaoproite words to get his topic across. I understand he was probably preaching to a college level class, but it is still immature, but it was funny how he did use the words. It would be something that a normal person would do also. I will try to review my papers to check for stupid mistakes. This video was a good example of proof reading and the mistakes that are usually made within writing.

Weird Superstition That I Have

There are many different superstitions in the world. There is to many to decide which one I want to follow. I decided I want to follow more than one. I believe the superstition about knocking on wood. If I say something that I am joking about and I do not want it to happen, I knock on wood. The act of knocking on the wood is like deleting what i just said. It deletes the thing I said and I believe it will go away. Another superstition I have is blowing out the candles on a birthday cake. When the child makes a wish, it should come true. The only way it would not come true is if the person did not blow all the candles out. This is a hard thing to do the older the person is. If a person is thirty, they have a lot more candles to blow out that a ten year old. They must get all the candles out in one blow. Birthday wishes always come true. It is the one day that is your day and the wish deserves to become true, and it will. Seeing a black cat is another superstition I have. If I see a black cat, I believe that bad luck will strike. I started to believe this because when I was a little girl, my neighbor was pregnant. She said she saw a black cat and now she is pregnant. This is what started my fear of black cats. I was ten years old and I did not want to be pregnant, so I could not look at a cat. I believe that if a person walks under a ladder will have bad luck for seven years. I believe this because if a person is lazy enough to walk under the ladder they deserve to have bad luck. Swallowing gum is another superstition. I was told when I was a little girl, that if I swallow gum, it will stay in my body for seven years. I did not swallow fum because I did not want to die from gum build up.

Girls

I just love girls. preferably volleyball players. They are the best friends anyone can EVER have. I love all my volleyball team mates. They are alllll soo nice to me. They can take the blame for themselves all the time. They believe they do things wrong on the court and that they should fix their mistakes. They are really kind and considerate. They are fun to hang out with also..... Did you catch on to my sarcasm?! Yea, I know, it was bad, but I can not stand people who blame other people. Take responsibility for your actions and step up. The number one example I could think of happened this weekend. I had a volleyball tournament in Mohomnet. We started of the day well. We played together and we Had fun and we won. The day went on the the energy started to die. We started to loose. I do not like loosing and I try to do everything I can to keep from loosing. i Can not control the other girls on the court. I can just worry about my self. My team mates do not take well to criticism. They believe if you are critiquing someone, they expect you to be perfect, NEWSFLASH!! I am no perfect. As hard as I try, it just can not always be. Some of my team mates were not playing as smart as they should of. They had horrible attitudes and they would not change for the life of them. I did not bring up the topic during the day, but I did text one of my friends and asked her what was wrong (she did not play very well that day). She did not reply to me. She toke it as I was telling her she sucked and I did not. I asked her if she was okay and she got all pissy at me. She was blaming me for God knows what and now she wants to quit and tell me to shove it.... Sorry I was caring for my team and I actually want to get better, not be the same every time. People need to realize they are doing stuff wrong and they need to change and not blame other people for their stupid mistakes.

20th Century punishment

There is so much technology going on in the 20th century. With this technology, there needs to be some kid of respect. Kids need to learn they should do the right thing online. It is wrong to post inaproiate pictures, words, or comments. The technology is items like telephones, face book, online games, and etc. These are all privileges to our society. We can live without this technology. I know this because there was once a time where these items did not exists and we did without just fine. Children are always on and acquainted with these Internet and wireless activities. Children also have a tendency to get in trouble. Parents are thinking and some of them are taking these things away from children. I think this is a good punishment. It is because it is like telling a child they can not hang out with their friends. Since most kids use these communication devices, they have no contact to the outside world. They can not talk to their friends or make plans to see their friends. This is becoming a more common punishment. Parents are taking phones away from their children when they do things wrong. It is also allows the child to know that they are doing some thing wrong. I think that the punishment where the child is not allowed to go anywhere is lame. Because now, instead of not being with their friends, they can face book them or play online games with them. It takes the point of the punishment away from the child. I think the taking away of phones and technology should be used more often. The parents also need to be strict about this rule. A child could lie and say they are doing homework while they are really on face book, the parents need to monitor the computer. I also think face book and online things are good because it allows the people to communicate and find things out that they could not have found out on their own.

Vacations

I have been to many places in my life. I take vacations and long trips with my family almost every year. I have been all across the country. I have been to New York to California. These trips give me the experiences to have a fun life. It would be boring if all I did was look at cornfields and trees. It is cool experience to travel to different states. All states are different. California is very dry, Colorado is full of mountains, New York has mountains of buildings, and Florida is very humid. My favorite place, that is the most beautiful was Colorado. I went dirt biking in the mountains and it was so pretty. We rode to the tops of mountains, and in the forests. It was a great and tiring day. I also love New York. It is something completely different from Springfield Illinois. These is no grass, there is only buildings. The buildings are huge. Times Square was awesome. It was so busy. There is always something to do in New York. It was a wonderful place to visit. I probably would not mind if i lived there for a little while. I think it would be a great experience. Florida is not my favorite place. I do love the ocean, but it is to humid to do anything. There was not much to do. I think Florida is over rated. My favorite place I have ever been to is California. I really like California. I love the sun. It is always sunny there. I love the beaches. The Pacific Ocean is so beautiful and the waves are huge and they are fun to play in. I also love the laid backness of it. There is always something to do, but you also do not have to anything. It is a wonderful place and I day dream about it a lot. Long trips have impact on me because I love to travel and it also makes me miss home.

OH MY GOOODNESS!!!!! I AM HELD HOSTAGE!!! SAVE ME!!

Ok, it was a noraml day in the life of Natille Baits. She went to school in the morning. She had a lot of homework. She had a lot of homework because she is in very hard classes. She had to write a reflection paper for english, she had a psychology test the next day, and she also had to read a chapter for history. She also had volleyball practice that evening after school. She was stressed out and she needed to go home so she could study and do her homework. She went to volleyball. Sheh did very good at practice and the coach was very happy because she was doing so good. While she was at practice, her mother texted her that she had to go to the bank to cash in her paycheck. Natille was upset because she did not have the time to go to the bank. She needed to go home to do her homework. She gets over herself and she goes into the bank to get her paycheck. She went in and she was talking to the workers and doing what she needed to do. Then, all of a sudden, two men, in ski masks, came into the bank with loaded guns. They yelled at all the people in the bank to get down on the ground. Natille was so scared. She was terrified for her life. She listened to the men and did what she was told to do. She gave them her cell phone. She did that without texting her mom to tell her what was wrong. She was scared that she would never see her mother, or her hansom boyfriend, Anotnio, ever again. She began to cry. She was so stressed out that this incident put her over. The robbers got an employee to go into the safe and to get all the money out of the safe for them. There was also about four other people in the bank. The police were aware of the situation and they showed up. Since Natille was being held hostage, the robbers did not give up. She knew that the police would win. Even if she died, the men would be in trouble and put in jail. She was figuring they would not kill her and she calmed down. After much waiting, the robbers tried to escape out a window. They did not get far and the police got them. Natille was scarred form this event. She held on to her life and she is glad she is alive. She also got her homework done.
