In this blog post, we will examine how evolutionary theory has developed since Darwin and explore what we have learned and gained—in terms of the relationship between science and faith—amidst the long-standing debate with creationism. There were certainly people who advocated for evolution even before Darwin, and they did indeed exist. So why do we recognize Darwin as the first proponent...
In this blog post, we will examine whether the theory of evolution simply explains changes in living organisms, or if it can also encompass the evolution of culture and language. People often encounter the word “evolution” in broadcast media, comics, and movies, but many do not actually know exactly what evolution is. Biological evolution refers to the phenomenon of organisms changing over...
In this blog post, we will explore how the theory of evolution explains biological diversity and the origin of life, focusing on natural selection and genetic variation. In a broad sense, the theory of evolution refers to the overall body of theories regarding evolution; simply put, evolution refers to the process by which heritable traits change within biological populations. When we...
In this blog post, we will explore how the theory of evolution explains the origin and change of various biological species through natural selection and genetic variation. Evolutionary theory is a framework that explains how all living organisms have changed as a result of evolution and how new species have emerged, based on the factors or mechanisms that influence evolution. Like...
In this blog post, I present a travelogue detailing my journey through the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy during my final summer break as an undergraduate. Through these travels, I experienced the cultures and philosophies of each country, and based on those experiences, I reflect on Korea’s humanistic values and philosophy. Before I knew it, most of my six-year...
In this blog post, we’ll discuss the role of engineers in transforming society for the better, much like a catalyst that alters a chemical reaction. Having achieved industrialization in just a few decades following the war, Korean society has experienced remarkable economic growth. In the process, the phrase “hurry up” has become deeply ingrained in Korean life and culture. This tendency...
In this blog post, we’ll explore whether energy is truly an infinite resource and whether we need to conserve it. We are living our lives using enormous amounts of energy that people in the past could never have imagined. Compared to the past, we are now consuming what could truly be called an “ocean of energy.” A situation where usable energy becomes scarce would certainly not be a...
In this blog post, we will explore how energy storage technology is evolving to support a sustainable future, as well as its importance and potential applications. Energy refers to the ability to perform work and is utilized in various forms in our daily lives. Examples include electrical energy to power smartphones, chemical energy to propel cars, and thermal energy to generate...
In this blog post, we’ll take a scientific look at how the unique dimples on a golf ball’s surface affect its distance. People today are passionate about ball sports. We cheer for the exquisite shots of Messi and Ronaldo, marvel at Ryu Hyun-jin’s fastballs, and watch Tiger Woods’s massive drives with bated breath. In this way, we focus on the movement of the ball and love it. However...
In this blog post, we will examine why Wittgenstein believed that the meaning of language varies depending on context and rules, as well as the concept of “language games” presented in his later philosophy. Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy can be divided into early and late periods. His early work is represented by the *Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus*, while his late work is represented by...
