Examining ATI Wisdom Booklets: Booklet 2: Science-ish – Disciplines of Science

Physiology
- After reading the ATI section on physiology, give a coherent definition of what physiology studies. Can you do it? I certainly couldn’t from the passage above.
- Physiology is the study of the normal functions of living organisms and their organs. It’s the study of things like respiration, protein synthesis, fat metabolism etc.
- I have a follow up question: How are you supposed to teach physiology within the context of Christ and the Church? Does Jesus undergo photosynthesis? Does the Church undergo mitotic division?
Genetic engineering
- Genetic engineering is the manipulation of the genetic information in organisms.
- I don’t mean to be condescending, but humans have been manipulating the genome of plants and animals for millennia through selective breeding. We’ve also proven ourselves to be quite excellent at murdering “undesirable” people long before we could do genetic engineering.
