The
research paper should incorporate a Biblical worldview of some topic of a
natural and static system. You should select a static and natural system and
discuss how the system is statically stable. Support your reasoning using
fundamental physics laws discussed earlier in the course. After selecting your natural and static
system, do the following:
a)
Describe
the structural and material components of the system.
b)
Discuss
about the importance of the static equilibrium condition for the functionality
of the system. Draw free-body diagrams of the system, including reaction and
applied forces. If possible, carry out a simple static equilibrium analysis
(sum of forces and moments equal zero). State any assumptions.
c) Romans
1:20 says “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his
eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from
what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Does the static natural
system you selected indicate the existence a supernatural being? Why or why
not? Also comment on the intelligence of the design and its benefit to
humanity.
