“Throughout our history, something greater than us, like fate or a higher power, has had a significant role. I feel like God has made us and put us in a position of power and strength for a special reason. We might not know exactly what that reason is, but one thing is clear: our country is meant to work with other nations to promote peace and protect it around the world. We have a responsibility to defend moral values and the code of what's right against the huge forces of evil that try to destroy them.”

“Contrary to popular belief, history does not repeat itself. The story of our planet was not predetermined, there was no air of inevitability to it, and the story of life does not speak to us of a linear progression from primitive to sophisticate. Instead, its shape has been carved out by the accumulation and loss of information, genetic and cultural, creating the illusion of relentless progress.”

“Contrary to popular belief, North America, and specifically the Great Lakes region, might be where metal technologies were first used by humans. Copper use emerged about 10,000 years ago.
