Evolutionary History Through Macro and Micro Observations

Everything in the cosmos has a history. The old dichotomy between the "historical" sciences (like geology, paleontology and evolutionary biology) and the (for want of a better term) "functional" sciences (like physics and chemistry—some would call them the "real sciences") was always supposed to be that fields like physics study dynamic processes and discover immutable laws of interaction among particles composing the cosmos—while the historical sciences study, well, history—the suppose...

 Vulcan Scientific Fields

FIELDS OF STUDY Vunailar t'Orenaya In nearly all cases, it is easy to determine the Golic Vulcan name for a discipline or field of study in most of the scientific, technical and medical disciplines.

 The Relationship Between Geology and Geography

All that comes above the surface [of the globe] lies within the province of Geography; all that comes below that surface lies inside the realm of Geology.

If Mr. Bryan, with an open heart and mind, would drop all his books and all the disputations among the doctors and study first hand the simple archives of Nature, all his doubts would disappear; he would not lose his religion; he would become an evolutionist.
