...those mysterious glassy spheroids seemingly strewn across Asia and Australia from space, were also once thought to be splash droplets from some very large meteor hitting the moon. Now, because no lunar material resembles tektite glass in composition, most scientists agree that the tektites do not have a lunar origin. Instead, Frondel said. "It looks more and more that they may be of terrestrial origin." However, no definite theory such as the splash droplet theory for the glass beads on the moon, has been developed to explain the tektites' origin or formation...
...astounded to read that the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species was a "great" event in science. Evolution is neither a science nor a history, but rather an antiChristian, anti-theistic way of thought. It is nothing more than a theory. TIME would lead the reader to assume it is a proven fact...

...adobe comes from the land where the home is to be, it raised from the earth and still a part of it, the color is the land beneath the juniper and pinon which surround it, low to the ground and quiet, when abandoned, returns to the earth and origin.

They understood (conceived) vision as a process involving a ray originating in the eye, travelling out and striking an object-sight complete. Without psychology and philosophical hashings, from the very beginning, man's understanding of all things was subjective-the man himself is the source of his perceptions. There is a humility in that concept hard to understand. All you perceive has your nobility in perception, its importance determined by your awareness. What you don't see, cannot know, is shadow, darkness around and in corners, beyond horizons. We deal with unknowns in and with the terms of what...
