Which correctly orders the likely steps in the origin of life from non life early in Earth's history from earliest to most recent?
No one knows the answer to that question. As a scientist I try to be alright with not knowing something. It is only absolutists of ideological persuasion who think their simplistic answers, devoid of supporting evidence, mean anything. There are many hypothesis under testing that have to do wit abiogenesis, but none are certain yet. From micelles, to cells, to the first replicators we can surmise how the first life arose on the planet, but we can not be sure and may never be sure of this question.
How can you describe European absolutism using Louis xiv Peter the great and Fredrick the great as examples of absolutists and their policies?
Absolutism is a form of government in which a monarch, or a single person, holds complete power. Louis XIV, king of France, was and absolute ruler in many respects. He built up the French army, forcing them to be very formal. He also built the palace of Versailles, earning him the nickname of 'The Sun King'. In addition, he declared, "I am the State," demonstrating his complete control of French government, under divine right. Frederick the Great of Prussia (Germany) was also an absolute ruler. He used his power to break treaties and invade Austria and unify Germany (7 years war). Peter the Great of Russia, an absolutist as well, used his power to westernize Russia, mainly by greatly altering the Russian Orthodox Church and building up the Russian military.
Is Barack Obama for gunrights?
Yes and no. First, this is a very political "hot button" issue, and the fact that President Obama has said he wants stronger background checks has been interpreted by some groups (notably the NRA) as an indication that he is "against" gun rights. That, however, is false. The president has never said he wants to restrict gun ownership, nor has he ever said he wants to take people's guns away, contrary to some of the false rhetoric online. What the president has said is he opposes high-capacity magazines and he does not believe the average citizen needs military assault weapons. He would also like to see the gun-show loophole closed so that all gun purchases are subject to a background check. (That issue, by the way, is one the NRA used to support.) Some second-amendment absolutists believe Mr. Obama is against gun rights, but there is no evidence to support that viewpoint. So, for the most part, the president supports private ownership, is a sport shooter himself, and has no negative view of hunters. He simply believes we need stronger background checks and a ban on private ownership of military-style assault weapons, a few that many in law enforcement also share.
