“The Catholic Church holds that it is not admissible to ordain women to the priesthood, for very fundamental reasons. These reasons include: the example recorded in the Sacred Scriptures of Christ choosing His apostles only from among men; the constant practice of the Church, which has imitated Christ in choosing only men; and her living teaching authority which has consistently held that the exclusion of women from the priesthood is in accordance with God's plan for His Church.” MenReasonChristChurchPracticePlansTeachingExampleAuthorityCatholicFundamentalsSacredConstantScriptureConsistentlyApostlesCatholic ChurchExclusionPriesthoodGod's PlanSacred Scripture Author:Pope Paul VI
“The farmer and the farm, like "the environment," are looked upon, for example, as means to offset trade deficits. The farm is a place where we can externalize costs. The cost of pesticides to the farmer and the cost of the pesticides to the soil and groundwater are regarded similarly by the public: "a serious problem that something ought to be done about." But the problem is more fundamental than this glib statement would indicate, for soil pollution is an expense of production. So are pesticides and nitrates in our farm wells. So is the loss of farmers from the land.” WellsMeanDoneProblemLossEnvironmentLandExampleSeriousOughtCostFundamentalsTradeProductionsStatementsSoilExpensesFarmsFarmersPollutionDeficitPesticidesGroundwater Author:Wes Jackson
“In fact, the science of thermodynamics began with an analysis, by the great engineer Sadi Carnot, of the problem of how to build the best and most efficient engine, and this constitutes one of the few famous cases in which engineering has contributed to fundamental physical theory. Another example that comes to mind is the more recent analysis of information theory by Claude Shannon. These two analyses, incidentally, turn out to be closely related.” MindTwoFactsProblemTurnsCasesInformationExampleTheoryFundamentalsAnalysisRelatedEnginesEfficientEngineeringEngineersThermodynamicsShannon Author:Richard P.

“Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology. The key to our being here now is time, 4.54 billion (Earth) years of time. Nuclear fission wasn't discovered until long after Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace published their original books and papers, for example. Our ability to measure atomic masses wasn't developed until long after their deaths. These features of nature enabled us to reckon the age of the Earth and compare it with speciation rates here.” YearsLongBookIdeasAgeEarthAbilityExampleKeysEvolutionPaperMassOriginalsFundamentalsRateNuclearBillionsCompareFeaturesBiologyPapersFissionNuclear FissionSpeciation Author:Bill Nye
“Can a free people restrain crime without sacrificing fundamental liberties and a heritage of compassion?...

“Once a price move exceeds its median historical age, any method you use to analyze the market, whether it be fundamental or technical, is likely to be far more accurate. For example, if a chartist interprets a particular pattern as a top formation, but the market is only up 10% from the last low, the odds are high that the projection will be incorrect. However, if the market is up 25% to 30%, then the same type of formation should be given a great deal more weight.” IfsShouldUseAgeLastsMovingGivenDealsExampleParticularTypeLowsWeightMethodFundamentalsHistoricalPatternsAccurateOddsProjectionExceedFormationMedian Author:Victor Sperandeo
“Were I to be the founder of a new sect, I would call them Apiarians, and, after the example of the bee, advise them to extract the honey of every sect.

“[Barack] Obama, for example, he has not given up on cap-and-trade. Now, he has not been able to pass cap-and-trade, but cap-and-trade is all about redistribution of wealth in a global basis - taking money out of this country and giving it to third-world countries on the other end of the ocean. And that is redistribution of wealth in a global basis. It's fundamental Marxism.” WorldGivingEndsCountryAbleGivenWealthExampleOceanThirdsBasesFundamentalsTradeBarackMarxismGiven UpCapsThird WorldThird World CountriesRedistribution Of Wealth Author:Rafael Cruz
