The science of astronomy includes the observational and the . oretical study of the celestial bod ies, of the intervening regions of space, and of the universe as a whole. The study of the origin, evolution and large-scale structure f ; of. the universe is called cosmolo There are many cosmological .models describing the behavior of >. the cosmos. , . . Here we will look at some that caused long-running debates ; araong scientists. I >* 'The belief that life originated if ori Earth as a supernatural event is ?? known as the theory of "special ? creation." There are numerous ver sions of this theory, but according to most myths, the nonliving world was created first and the creation of life followed. , : Mythology distinguishes between the nonliving and the liv ing, and creation in the beginning is therefore usually presented as a two-fold act. In the distant past, myths claimed that there had been many acts of creation, each after a catas trophe had destroyed the terrestrial environment. Life occurred not naturally, but supernaturally in the mind of the Creator. From the oldest myths on the origin of life comes the theory of Spontaneous creation." It was believed that living things were created in a magical manner. Worms in the earth, eels in mud, maggots in apples, flies around waste matter, were all thought to be spontaneously created. It was * viewed as a residual creative urge, was con?tructed of numbers. A surviving from the special creation point was 1, a line 2, a surface 3, in the beginning, and it was and a solid 4; and the number f ?? s hi STAR WATCH By EDWARD A.

Pythagoras, a Greek philoso pher born on the island of Samos, founded a school in southern Italy and taught that the Earth is round and that all things in the universe are governed by mathematics. The Pythagoreans held that the universe 1+2+3+4 = 10 was sacred and omnipotent. The concept of geo metric atomism, of a universe con structed from points, was one of the paths that led to the atomic the ory of matter. By great contriving, Einstein in 1917 created a "static universe" with the theory of general relativi ty. In this universe all places are The Grade 'A' tourney a success . . wMMm Winners Last W|el?

This postulate was called the H perfect cosmological principle/ for it recalls the Platonic ideal of a universe whose perfection is unmarred. The principle meant that the universe was in a "steady , state" arid nothing would ever change in appearance. The cosmic explorer, perceiv ing that all places were alike in each tour, would also notice that nothing had changed between suc cessive tours. Everything would be the same everywhere in space and time, apart from small irregulari ties. There is now overwhelming evidence to show that the universe is not in a steady state. In the 1950s the Mbig bang'1 and "steady state" theories compet ed as equals for support from the astronomical community. Both explained the one piece of observational evidence relating > to cosmology, Hubble's law. The debates were philosophical in tone. One could only decide which theo ry was preferable: one in which the universe began at a definite time or one in which the universe existed forever. In the 1960s more fragments of cosmological evidence accumu lated, and as the pile of evidence mounted, the "steady state" theory became more and more difficult to defend. Most astronomers believe that the conventional "big bang" theory, a theory of evolution and expansion, is the correct one. A musical event, 'A Service of Praise, ' at New Philadelphia . ? ? ? * > * ? ? \ " * . ' ' > V.. A musical event titled "A Service of Praise" will be held Sunday, Feb. 24, at 3:30 p.m. at New Philadelphia Moravian Church on Country Club Rd. B.J. Pfohl originated the Praise Service in 1919, shortly after World War I, at Home Moravian Church. This musical service became a yearly event; the last such program led by Pfohl was in 1941. The 1991 service will reenact a strong Moravian tradition. One purpose for such a service, according to Pfohl, was nte-k^ep^purpose and interest before the (band) members;" - Another was to give musicians an opportunity to prepare and perform music at normally "slow" times of the year. He was interested in showing what local musitians could do, and he wanted "to encourage new interest in community music of the highest order." The first programs included what Pfohl called selected works of great composers. Moravian and non-Moravian anthems-were ihcluded in the service, as well as congregational singing. Some of the anthems had been arranged for band by Pfohl. The musicians were from bands of the Moravian church es, friends from other churches of the City, and from Pythian AnH American Legion bands ! The program for the 1991 service will include selected works which were used numerous times in earlier praise services. Included are these anthems: Te Deums by Harold Kotzschpiar, Sing With Awe, the last anthem sung in German in Salem, and an anthem used for the Great Sabbath in Salem in 1880 by Tully entitled Holy Trinity. This year's service will be presented by the Salem Trombone Choir under the direction of Donna Rothrock. Fashion show set for Ambassador The Up-Rising Ambassadors (U.R.A.)
