In this essay I will be summarizing an article, of the same title as this essay. This article discussed many aspects of proteins, that prove that a creator, or God created “Life.” 

One of the most important facts noted about Proteins in this article is the fact that a Protein needs to “fold” itself to function properly. The Protein folds itself into an exact shape to fit in its position, similar to a puzzle piece in a puzzle. Proteins must do this many and many times in a human body. The question is how does a Protein have the ability to fold itself?

The answer to this question is: Proteins get help by special Proteins called Chaperones; this special type of Protein aids the other Proteins by helping them fold in half and lead them to the Protein’s special place. Chaperones also have Chaperones to help fold themselves. This fact causes a problem for Scientists that believe in evolution. How could the first Chaperones fold properly without a pre existing Chaperone to help them? 

The theory of evolution states that the Earth was created by a huge explosion billions of years ago, and that life evolved through millions of years to create a very specialized system, the human body. How could nothing be created into life without a creator? It really cannot.

Conclusion

I believe that life was not created by accident, but instead by an all powerful and knowing creator that created life on Earth.

Asteroids are minor planets, they are smaller than the main planets which are Earth, Jupiter, Mars, etc; that is why they are called minor planets. These minor planets are in a region in our Solar System called the Asteroid belt, which contains many of these minor planets and other pieces of debris.

This so called “impossible asteroid” Itokawa was first visited in November 2005 by Japan’s Hayabusa spacecraft. This visit left many planetary scientists puzzled over Itokawa’s origins. 

Because this asteroid is very small in size, only five-hundred and three meters long to be exact; most planetary scientists thought it was a single chunk of rock, that was unable to hold extra pieces of rock on its surface. But unlike what they thought, the pictures from the spacecraft of Itokawa’s surface clearly showed that its surface was covered with gravel and boulders. 

Everything that the scientists had thought turned out to be all wrong, an example of this is the measurement of Itokawa’s gravity field is forty percent poros(filled with empty space). This astonished many scientists because sand has a porosity of twenty percent, and having this much porosity is very hard to accomplish. So technically the only way to accomplish this is by gently packing the materials together. 

Technically Itokawa is just loosely packed rubble, that was collected after a collision between asteroids. This causes an issue because repeated impacts with other space objects should have made this asteroid more dense.

The answer to this, is that these space debris have not been hitting Itokawa for millions of years. This is another of those things that prove that the universe was created at the same times as the Earth, which was thousands of years ago instead of billions.

In this world there are two main beliefs on how the Solar System was created, these two beliefs are known as the Genesis Record and the Nebular Hypothesis.

The Genesis Record says that a creator, God created the universe. The Nebular Hypothesis is the exact opposite, instead it says that the universe was a big mistake, that it was created over trillions of years from a cloud of elements such as helium, hydrogen, and etc, and these elements had condensed enough by rotating around and around into the core of the sun; after another few billion years the sun was created. This theory technically states that out of nothing at all, all was created.

The first belief makes much more sense in my opinion, a creator, God created are universe and within that universe a planet, Earth that could sustain life. Or a whirlwind or a gas cloud in space, which rotated and spun around enough to create the Sun’s core and then over the next trillion years creates the Earth that has humans and other forms of life such as animals and plants. How does that make any sense?

People will say that the Nebular Hypothesis was founded off of scientific facts, proof, and plenty of research; and that the Genesis record was founded off of faith, religion, and the Bible, but this is false, both of these beliefs depend on faith.

The people who created the Nebular Hypothesis Pierre-Simon de Laplace who was a mathematician  and Immanuel Kant a philosopher were both Atheists, so of course they would want to come up with some theory that is different then the Genesis theory that didn’t have to do with some creator because they were Atheists. So they created a theory without proof but instead faith, faith that God does not exist or is real.

Now would you believe that a giant tornado built your house? No of course not someone built it, nothing does not build anything without a creator.

Conclusions

The Universe and Earth is an example of are Creator or God’s greatness. A lot of people these days don’t really understand this or want to, instead they believe the Nebular Hypothesis which was created by Scientists who turn their backs from what is already so very obvious and clear. And even when they say it is a logical theory it is really just based on faith.

The Sun is the largest thing in are Solar system, it is also the most important. Most people usually take the Sun for granted or do not know much about it.

The Sun is much, much bigger than the Earth; it’s diameter is about one-hundred times of the Earth.

 The Sun is flaming hot, it’s surface temperature alone is ten-thousand degrees Fahrenheit. The heat from the Sun is very important; without the Sun, life on Earth would be impossible, since humans need light and warmth to survive.

The Sun is a star. It is the closest star from Earth even though it is very far away; an exact ninety-three million miles away from Earth, it’s far distance is perfect for a good amount of heat, if it was farther life would be impossible on Earth it would be too cold, but to close it would be boiling hot and again life would be impossible. 

The Sun is a unique star because of its intense brightness and heat, most stars are cooler in temperature and a lot less bright in appearance. another reason why it is unique is because most Solar Systems have two or more stars, but the Sun is the only star of are Solar System..

Conclusion

This is my essay on why the Sun is so important, and why it is a very special star.

“Several spacecraft support systems are required to keep the Hubble functioning smoothly in space. These systems are located around the body of the spacecraft and encompassed by the outer hull. Solar Arrays(2). 25 ft (7 meter) panels that convert 5680 watts of electricity in order to power the telescope. Communications Antennae (2). Transmit Hubble’s information to communication satellites called the Tracking & Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) System for relay to White Sands, the Space Telescope Operations Control Center (STOCC) in Greenbelt, Maryland, and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STSci) in Baltimore, Maryland. Computer Support System Modules. Contains devices and systems needed to operate the Hubble Telescope. Serves as the master control system for communications, navigation, power management, etc. Electronic Boxes. Houses much of the electronics including computer equipment and rechargeable batteries. Aperture Door. Protects Hubble’s optics in the same way the camera lens cap shields the lens. It closes during service missions and in response to certain kinds of  “safe mode.” Light Shield. Light passes through this before entering the optics system. It blocks unwanted external light from entering the Hubble. Pointing Control System. This system aligns the spacecraft to point and remain locked on any target.

The first week of this astronomy section I learned about the history of astronomy and telescopes.

The History of Telescopes

The first telescope ever made was made in 1609, by a man named Galileo Galilei; this telescope was named “far seeing” when it’s name is translated into English. The telescope was a refractive telescope; which means that the telescope has an objective lens on one end and an eyepiece on the other.

The first telescope’s objective lens was convex, and the eyepiece was concave. This was problematic because the way the objective lens channels colors creates a “rainbow halo”, this causes a distorted view when looking through the telescope. This problem is known as chromatic aberration. To help prevent this problem the people who built the telescopes would make the telescopes bigger and longer, some of these long telescopes were up to one hundred feet long!

Eventually people began to build the telescope’s objective lens in a way that used the convex and concave lenses together, fixing the issue chromatic aberration, and making the colors more focused. This way of building the objective lens is known as “achromatic doublet”.

But before achromatic doublet was around to fix the problem of chromatic aberration. Sir Issac Newton got so frustrated when trying to fix the refractive telescope that he decided that the problem of chromatic aberration was unfixable, so he created a different kind of telescope. The telescope he made was reflective, which meant that it used mirrors instead of the regular lenses. This made it easier to see through since the mirrors reflects the light toward the eye.

History of Astronomy

The field of Astronomy began thanks to Greek and Roman philosophers and scientists, one of the first was Ptolemy. He created a geometric theory on the way the planets including the sun moved around the earth. Frankly his theory was incorrect, but the Catholic Church still used it as the official doctrine.

This theory was proven incorrect by an astronomer named Nicolas Copernicus in 1543, who created the heliocentric theory (which is the theory of how the planets and the earth included move around the sun), in a book that was published the same year he died.

Over the years the heliocentric theory was proven to be the correct one out of the two theories.
