 Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is no truly "standard" model of the origin of life, but most currently accepted scientific models build in one way or another on the following discoveries, which are listed roughly in order of postulated emergence:
Life is a multi-faceted concept that may refer to the ongoing process of which living things are a part or the period between fertilisation or mitosis and death.
A useful characteristic upon which to base a definition of life is that of descent with modification: the ability of a life form to produce offspring that are like its parent or parents, but with the possibility of some variation due to chance.

 Origin belief - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, "origin beliefs" may be generalized to include non-religious claims and theories based in contemporary science or philosophy—the Big Bang, origin of life, panspermia and theory of evolution fall into this category.
An origin belief is any story or explanation that describes the beginnings of humanity, earth, life, and the universe (cosmogony).
Origin beliefs commonly refer to creation myths— mytho-religious stories which explain the beginnings of the universe as a deliberate act of "creation" by a supreme being.

 Information theory and molecular biology. (Hubert Yockey).
Yockey explains this theory in part I of his book and applies it in part II to problems in biology: protein complexity, the genetic code, the primeval soup theory, the origin of life, theories of aging, and molecular evolution.
Yockey has no alternative theory for evolution or the origin of life, so he is not in the group of alternative theories.
Yockey has a profound critical attitude towards all the origin of life myths and uses words as 'faith' and 'ideology' to characterise those who assume a natural origin of life.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Philosophy
Such are the questions of the nature of God, of His relation with the visible world, of man's origin and destiny Now religion, which precedes philosophy in the social life, naturally obliges it to take into consideration the points of religious doctrine.
(1) The origin of several philosophical problems, in the early Middle Ages, must be sought within the domain of theology, in the sense that the philosophical discussions arose in reference to theological questions.
Most Spiritualists of all schools have adopted a libertarian philosophy, holding that liberty alone gives the moral life an acceptable meaning; by various arguments they have confirmed the testimony of conscience and the data of common consent.

 The Bach Flower Remedies and Homeopathy. - Peter Morrell
For Lorber, "God's revelations regarding health and well-being are based on a spiritual foundation, and the reader will discover that the origin of all things is spiritual, not physical."[Lorber, book review of Lord’s Book of Life and Health]
In a very broad sense, Lorber’s remedies, "prepared with the healing power of sunlight belong to the category of homeopathy, because both are based on the same foundation.
This notion, this way of seeing, can be easily extended backwards in time to the Ancient Egyptians, who revered the Sun [Osiris] and who regarded it not only as the source of all life on earth, but also as a purifying spiritual agent on the earth and so also in the life of man.

 New ethnic-minority senator position lacks clear definition
The major weakness of a position based primarily on ethnic origin is that it is not clearly defined.
Ethnic minority students have been elected and have represented their peers, not as a member of their race, but as a resident of their dorm or as a fellow SPU student.
I am by no means denying that ethnic discrimination does occur in America today, and I'm certainly not going to say that SPU is a utopian bubble of racial harmony.

 Husserl on Time and Intersubjectivity
In the case of another person, one would recognize him/her as, like oneself, belonging to the category of persons and, as such, having a physic life (although that inner life is not directly evidenced).
The reduction to the living present is a reduction to the sphere of the primal temporalization in which the first and originary sense of time comes forward-time as the living streaming present.
This twofold nature of the ego was recognized very early on by Husserl and parallels the situation of the ego being both the origin of temporalization and itself temporalized.

 IslamOnline - Art & Entertainment Section
The legendary character of this category associates the chronological history of Al-Husayn with notions relating to the origin of life and the Universe, that have preoccupied the human mind since the beginning of creation, and in which Al-Husayn is eternally present.
This category comprises the literary works common in rituals and lamentations (poetic and prose) and is characterized by its melodramatic style, which aims to arouse pity and passion for Ahl al- Bayt’s misfortunes, and charge feelings during tempestuous political circumstances on the memory of Ashura’.
Most Shiites also believe that the adversities inflicted on Ahl al- Bayt (the Prophet’s household) are the criteria for reward and punishment in the afterlife.

In the case of France, the familiar plots of the 800.000 immigrants of Algerian origin who live the country put a face to him in the daily life to this fear.
In fact, they constitute all a social category already - the one of hittistas or aguantaparedes -, and without doubt forms the sociological substrate of which the Islamic guerrilla nourishes itself.
But this social policy was overflowed by the joint effect of explosive demographic dynamics, the rural exodus and the fluctuations of the income of the State caused by the variations of the prices of petroleum.

 Scholasticism on the Web
Under the category of "Selected Sources: Intellectual Life," it has a number of very interesting excerpts from primary texts documenting the rise of scholasticism in the 11th and 12th centuries and its flourishing in the schools in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Scholasticism traces its origins to the Carolingian reforms in the 9th century when a standardized school curriculum consisting of the trivium - grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric, and the quadrivium - geometry, arithmetic, music, and astronomy was established.
One account of the origin of the term 'scholasticism' has it that the dialectic portion of the curriculum was taught from manuals written by the master of each school, or schoolmen.

 The Substantial Ghost: 
Towards a General Exegesis of Duchamp's Artful Wordplays
Thus, the ghost pun runs through a full life cycle - beginning as an expanding generation in the first mode of my fourth category, as the original and common root branches (from its birth, perhaps in the hospital of its etymological origin) and then growing in two directions to generate guests and hosts.
You know, puns have always been considered a low form of wit, but I find them a source of stimulation both because of their actual sound and because of the unexpected meanings attached to the interrelationships of disparate words.
Duchamp himself, however, seemed to rank his verbal punning as important, at least as a source for his own inspiration and an embodiment of his general procedures - so perhaps we should take him at his (admittedly always cryptic) word and explore the issue further.

 Natural History: When Fossils Were Young
When we survey Bauhin's more than 200 fossil drawings, the largest single cache of sixteenth-century paleontological illustrations, we note the origin of several conventions that, although superseded today (and therefore unknown to most modern scientists), seriously impeded, for nearly two centuries, a proper understanding of the nature of fossils and the history of life.
In Bauhin's day, the word "fossil"--derived from the past participle of the Latin verb fodere, meaning "to dig up"--referred to any object of distinctive form found within the Earth, thus placing the remains of ancient organisms in the same general category as crystals, stalactites, and a wide range of other inorganic objects.
If fossils originated within rocks as products of the mineral kingdom, just as crystals grow in mines and stalactites form in caves, then a petrified "shell" may just denote one kind of inorganic object manufactured in its proper place within the mineral kingdom.

 Knappogue Castle Irish Single Malt Whiskey
In fact, the origin of the word "whiskey" is "uisce beatha" an ancient Gaelic term meaning "water of life", and the pot still distillation method used to make all single malts was perfected by the Celts.
Just as single malt is the aristocrat of whisky in Scotland, Irish single malt has emerged as an important category of premium whiskey from Ireland.
Knappogue adds another dimension to single malt in that the casks are bottled on a vintage basis, according to the year of distillation.
