There has always been an opposition between religion and science, despite the confession and the type of scientific data. The reasons behind this battle are understandable, as each of paradigms tries to explain the development of the universe differently. Each of the sides has its own arguments. A religious view is based on faith, while scientific point of view roots in theory, logic, and facts proved or disproved by experimental design. In his editorial “Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God” Eric Metaxas tries to argue that today scholars admit God’s authorship of the universe (Metaxas). In order ...

Thought style is defined by Fleck in 1979 as the readiness for directed perception, with corresponding mental and objective assimilation of what has been so perceived (p.99). However, in 2008, Marie defined “Thought style” as a way of thinking that constrains the thoughts and perceptions of individuals’, without really being aware of its existence. The thoughts that make an individual consider a problem as explorable and what is recognized as having a legitimate solution will be constrained. (p.153). Based on these studies, my perception is that people’s thoughts are restricted and hence make them analyze the targeted data ...

According to Papanek Design is an essential component of all human activity. He states that we do it every day- the act of planning, creating patters for a foreseeable outcome. The design process involves creating meaning from chaos. He is quick to note that not everything that possesses the order we ascribe to them are design, but design should have some conscious intention. The design must also be meaningful and the mode by which a design achieves its purpose is its function. Design involves the creating of aesthetically pleasing work which is an inherent part of the function.

The dynamic relationships and actions that make up the function complex include; method, use, need, Telesis, association and aesthetics.
