Extractions: Suddenly, it seemed, the northern seas were swarming with lean, low-hulled predators with snarling dragon figureheads, manned by men of reckless courage and invincible ferocity. Everywhere they went they plundered, burned and raped. Holy Church in particular was a target for their insensate violence, and ecclesiastical treasures looted from unsuspecting chapels and monasteries flowed back into Scandinavia in an unending stream: ' In a word, although there were an hundred hard steeled iron heads on one neck, and an hundred sharp, ready, never-rusting brazen tongues in every head, and an hundred garrulous, loud, unceasing voices from every tongue, they could not recount or narrate or enumerate or tell what all the people of Ireland suffered in common, both men and women, laymen and priests, old and young, noble and ignoble, of hardship and injury and oppression in every house from these ruthless, wrathful, foreign, purely pagan people.' It was the shrill and outraged gibbering of priests, like the writer of this passage from

Extractions: Introduction Conspiracy of Silence Radiometric Dating Unsolved Mysteries ... Conclusion He finishes his argument with lies and hypocrisy. He proudly pats himself on the back for identifying all sorts of evidence which supposedly points to a young Earth (although as I've shown above, he's sadly mistaken), but he admits that it's silly to take the Bible so literally that you can assign precise time figures from life spans and generations. Naturally, it doesn't seem to occur to him that anything less than absolute 100% literal interpretation is merely an admission that the Bible is not the literal truth, in which case there's no reason to run around using it as evidence in a debate about scientific theories. I've carefully avoided mentioning the genealogical "proof" of the age of mankind, because counting "begats," as you put it, is not a very good method to determine passage of time. But it is very interesting that a lot of the scientific evidence points to a much younger earth than the evolutionists were (and still are) looking for, isn't it? Like all YECs, he starts with a pre-ordained conclusion and hunts for any data which seems to fit, while ignoring the question of mechanisms, thermodynamics, and the fact that the vast majority of the data

Extractions: La mayoría de nosotros tendemos a pensar que este sistema óptico es imprescindible, y que sin él no se puede hacer fotografía. Pero esto no es cierto, hay un tipo de fotografía en el que no existe este sistema óptico, es la llamada "Fotografía estenopeica". Jon Grepstad, Historia (recogido de Jon Grepstad) Primeras observaciones y experiencias Renacimiento y Post-renacimiento. Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) describe la formación de imágenes estenopeicas en su "Codex atlanticus". En él describe la formación de imágenes del sol a través de orificios practicados en las paredes de una iglesia. Giovanni Battista della Porta (1538-1615), un científico napolitano, ha sido considerado el inventor de la cámara oscura por su descripción de una cámara oscura estenopeica en la primera edición de su "Magia Naturalis" (1558). Su descripción ha sido muy conocida, pero el no fué de ningún modo el inventor. La estenopeica es aparéntemente un dibujo en "De Radio Astronomica et Geometrica"(1545), de Gemma Frisius. Gemma Frisius, un astrónomo, utilizó un estenopo en una habitación oscura para estudiar el eclipse solar de 1544. El término cámara oscura fué acuñado por Johannes Kepler (1571-1630). En ese momento el término indicaba una habitación o una tienda con un orificio y una lente usados por los artistas para dibujar paisajes. La lente permitía obtener una imagen más brillante y enfocarla a cierta distancia. Este tipo de cámara es distinto del usado por Frisius, que no tenía lente. En la década de 1620, Kepler inventó una cámara oscura portatil. Estas cámaras, utilizadas como ayuda al dibujo, se encontraron pronto en diversas formas y tamaños.

Extractions: call 1-800-588-NEWTON Begin the lesson by asking these questions: Do you like hiking in the woods? What equipment do you take on a camping trip? Most camping areas have at least some comforts, such as trash removal, trails, and rest rooms, but real wilderness has none of those things. How would you plan for wilderness travel, such as climbing a mountain? How much and what kinds of food would you take? How would you find shelter, build a fire, and stay warm? How would you navigate with no trails or constructed landmarks? How would you avoid falling on a steep slope? What specialized equipment would you need? In 1997, four teenagers from Oregon won the Outside Adventure Grant for their proposal to climb Mt. Sir Sanford, a remote peak in the Canadian Rockies. To get there, these wilderness enthusiasts had to kayak and hike to the base of the mountain and then climb up a glacier to the peak. The group's winning proposal included tracking and documenting the habits of an endangered species of caribou along the way. The grant outfitted them for their expedition. As these outdoor adventurers could tell you, alpine climbing and snow travel require particular skills and knowledge. Climbers must have good strength and endurance. They must work effectively in the thin air at high altitude.

Extractions: No two people experience the same physical structures and ensembles of processes that maintain individual human life and connections with the external world. The Chinese structures and ensembles differed greatly from European bodies in how physical, mental, and spiritual processes were interrelated, and how the whole articulated with the state and the cosmos. Professor Sivin will argue on the basis of collaborative work with Sir Geoffrey Lloyd that the imperial Chinese counterpart of the body was invented in specific historical circumstances, crucially different from those of contemporary Greece. Despite steady change, this microcosmic notion of the body shaped medical thought and practice for two thousand years.

The Invention Of Movable Type
The Invention of Movable Type. By shen kua. As late as the Tang dynasty the productionof books by block printing was still practiced on a limited scale.
http://www.silk-road.com/artl/movableprt.shtml

Extractions: As late as the Tang dynasty the production of books by block printing was still practiced on a limited scale. It was not until the time of the Late Tang (923-936) that the government, upon the recommendation of its prime minister Feng Tao, first sponsored the reproduction of the Five Classics by block printing. From then on practically all important books were produced by block printing. During the Ch'ing-li period (1041-1048) a commoner named Pi Sheng first invented the movable type. Each type was made of moistened clay upon which was carved one Chinese character. The portion that formed the character was as thin as the edge of a small coin. The type was then hardened by fire and thus made permanent. To proceed with the process of printing, a printer smeared an iron plate with a mixture of turpentine, resin, wax, and burned paper ash. Pieces of movable type were then placed on the plate closely together and were arranged in such a way as to reflect the text of a book to be printed. They were confined within the plate by an iron fence fastened tightly to the plate. The iron plate was then placed on a gentle fire in order to melt the mixture type so that the heads of all pieces would appear on the same level. The plate was then ready for printing.

Extractions: PHYSICS: Magnetism There are recordings of the use of compasses in China as early as 114 AD, and as early as 1086 on how they are made. The Chinese also knew that a piece of cooling iron can acquire a slight magnetism from the Earth's field provided the iron is oriented north-south as it cools (magnetic remanence) by the eleventh century. (Reiss, 1993) Another source recalls that an ancient Chinese scholar, Shen Kua had invented the compass circa A.D. 1070.
