Followers of the Creation theory postulate that all life (animal and plant), the universe and all else that we take to make up our natural world were brought into existence from nothing by special processes conducted by God as stated in the book of Genesis. The foundational belief of the Creation theory is that Genesis is inerrant and that it is a literal representation of how the world was created. Advocates of the Creation theory also...

If there was a scientific revolution was it just a general progression of science or was it the sort that sees great upheaval of thought and substantial development of ideas? If it was of the former sort then it was hardly a scientific renaissance. Was there are scientific renaissance?

My original art piece is representative of some of these. Censorship is usually indicative of political and social climates. It also allows us to determine what a population deems as acceptable or unacceptable. This applies to art as much as any other form of expression. But why is there a need to censor?
