Hurricanes
Number of words: 594 - Number of pages: 3.... replace the air soaring upwards in the thunderheads. The air begins swirling around the storm center, for the same reason that the air swirls around a tornado center.
As this air swirls in over the sea surface, it soaks up more and more water vapour. At the storm center, this new supply of water vapor gets pulled into the thunderhead updrafts, releasing still more energy as the water vapor condenses. This makes the updrafts rise faster, pulling in even larger amounts of air and water vapor from the storm's edges. And as the updrafts speed up, air swirls faste .....

Creationism And Darwinism
Number of words: 1386 - Number of pages: 6.... Israel wrote (Psalm 8:3-4) "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that you are mindful of him? And the son of man, that You visit him?"
Creationism is the product of a literal interpretation of the Biblical story of Genesis. It holds that God created the world in a single act approximately 6,000 years ago--and that human beings, animals, and other forms of life exist today much as they did then. To many creationists, the theory of evolution is heresy. They argue that fossil records a .....

Rabbits
Number of words: 343 - Number of pages: 2.... hare's fur turns completely white during the winter months. During the
spring, as the snow melts, the hare grows a new coat of brown fur. Another
hare that changes color is commonly called the snowshoe rabbit. The hare
has strong hind legs that enable it to hop 43 miles per hour (69 km/h), as
fast as a race horse. Lagomorphs must be able to hop about quickly to
escape from predators. Another lagomorph, the pika, dwells among the craggy
mountain slopes of Asia and North America. In late summer the little pika
might be seen guarding a stack of freshly cut h .....
