Darwin's theory in crisis

          

        How we and all other creatures were existed? According to the Darwin's theory the life came from non-life. Also, there is a connection between all creatures. For example, human, animal, and plant are related. In another word, they came from simple cell. Then each one has been transformed by the environment to still survive.  This notion was exist before Darwin because the Greek philosophers thought that an animal developed to become a human. Darwin made an explanation for this thought called it "natural selection."  It means that the genes changed with time because of natural factors.  Modern studied made this theory weakness "Darwin's Theory Of Evolution - A Theory in Crisis".  The scientist discovered that the simple cell which was considered original life, according to the Darwin's theory" is complex, too. Furthermore, Darwin couldn't find out the composition of cell like these days by microscope. Another reason made Darwin's theory in crisis that he was not completely sure.

            I studied this theory in high school. Although I didn't believe about it, it was interested to me. I believe that everything created by God and for a specific reason. So, the right concept for evolution is adaption not genetic mutations.

            I learned from this article some vocabulary, such as Premise, nutshell, irreducibly, and aberration

         There are many things over the world still a mystery. One of these "The Secret of Stonehenge" which is located in London for more than 4000 years ago. Until now, the scientists try to find out how builds it and why. They predict it is built by the same people who built Durrington Walls (a structure which is located about two miles northeast of Stonehenge and similar to it but larger and wooden). There are two strong theories about Stonehenge. First, it a place of the dead according to Mike Parker an archeologist. His theory bases on Malagasy culture. Malagasy people who built Durrington Walls. In their culture wood referred to life and stone referred to dead. The second theory says the Stonehenge is a place for health and healing. Because the archeologist found in Wales, about 250 miles west Stonehenge, a region of Wales are the Preseli Mountains. The mountain's water is predicted that is cure illness. With these studies and theories the Stonehenge still is mystery.
          I like puzzle, and I look forward to find the answer. I feel excited when I read story "The Secret of Stonehenge." I hope to visit this place. In my opinion this a huge building was built for something else maybe connect with religion. 
         From this passage I learned more details about Stonehenge. Also, I learned some vocabulary, such as cite, grave, colleagues, pottery, and trace.
