This debate has been a very popular and controversial subject over the past weeks since it was aired. Ken Ham represents the christian, old testament, view of creationism and debates Bill Nye, who defends the theory of evolution, and the earth being 4 billion years old. The premise of Ken Hams argument is that there is a large misconception in modern science, in which "historical science" is studied in he same way as "observational science." His claim is that scientists cannot make claims about the age of the earth or "the past" solely by observing the present. Bill Nye tries to prove his own point that observational science and historical science are in the same category of study, and that the only way to make conclusions about the past, present or future is by observing the natural earth as it is now. Nye also makes a strong effort to disprove the old testament's claim that the earth is only 6,000 years old, and that during Noah's Ark there in fact was a global flood. The debate is extremely thought provoking, no matter who you agree with coming into it. This particular debate is at the core of my ILO focus, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the idea of creation.

This new article is about methane gas released through one of Saturn's moon titans. I didn't know what a moon titan was so I clicked on the lick that took me to a Wikipedia article. I told me that is the largest of Saturn's moons that is much like earth. It contains stable liquid on its surface and is made of rock like earth. After a small probe took a picture of the moon titan the scientists came to the conclusion that hydrocarbon ethane instead of Methane must be a majority of the lake. This is because he liquids evaporate much more slowly than normal methane.

The purpose of this website is to spread awareness and educate people on environmental issues. WWF also is an environmental conservation program that has offices all around the world. Many topics are covered on this website; for example, deforestation and the causes and impacts of this issue. I did a lot of my research for a big deforestation paper on this website. It was very efficient and useful, also containing many great articles with tons of information. This websites gives great statistics and facts, which is why I would recommend this source.
