- 4214: The Effect Of Temperture On Air Pressure
- ... popping sound while the can crushed. The can only crushed in the middle. There are some sharp edges where the can did not seem to crush in all the way.

The opening at the top of the can allowed the expanding molecules to escape.

I will start by asking you to attempt to define perfect (as it existed at that time). In the creationalistic point of view, a person ... clear to me that an existence based upon blind faith is no longer an acceptable tradition. The ideas of creationism are far outweighed by the Laws and Theories of evolution. While there are understandably a great many men who have spent a vast amount of time in scribing the Bible, we must realize that they were indeed men, not Gods and the bible is, actually, only a book. To believe the ... summary I believe that evolution is the only plausible of these two theories which is acceptable to the current state of humanity. In closing I leave you with a simple, yet disturbing statement that a great man once told me: "it is not what you believe; it's what you can prove." Creationism is based upon belief; evolution is based upon scientific proof.
