“The existing and long-standing use of the word 'evolution' in our state's textbooks has not adversely affected Georgians' belief in the omnipotence of God as creator of the universe, There can be no incompatibility between Christian faith and proven facts concerning geology, biology, and astronomy.

“What, then, is that incalculable feeling that deprives the mind of the sleep necessary to life? A world that can be explained even with bad reasons is a familiar world. But, on the other hand, in a universe suddenly divested of illusions and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land. This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.” MenWorldFeelsMindReasonFeelingsHomeHandsLightUniverseActorsLostMemoriesSleepLandIllusionStrangerDivorceSettingFamiliarSettingsAliensRemedyAbsurdityExileDeprivedPromised LandMyth Of Sisyphus Book:The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays Source: The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays
“How ignorant we are! How ignorant everyone is! We can cut across only a small area of the appallingly expanding fields of knowledge. No human being can know more than a tiny fraction of the whole. It must have been satisfactory in ancient times when one's own land seemed to be the universe; when research studies, pamphlets, books did not issue in endless flow; when laboratories and scientists were not so rapidly pushing back frontiers of knowledge that the process of unlearning the old left you gasping for breath.” KnowsHumansHas BeensBookWholeUniverseLeftProcessHuman BeingsKnowledgeStudyIssuesCuttingLandFieldsResearchAreasFlowScientistBreathsAncientTinyEndlessIgnorantPushingExpandingFrontiersLaboratoryFractionsAncient TimesPushing BackResearch Study Author:Mary Barnett Gilson

“Chances are, the aliens will not want to land on our backyard, or even the White House lawn, with their flying saucers. They may have tiny, robotic self-replicating probes which can reach near light speed and can proliferate around the galaxy. So instead of the Enterprise and huge star ships, the aliens might actually send tiny probes to explore the universe. One might land on our lawn and we won't even know.” KnowsWantMaySelfLightMightUniverseHouseStarsChanceWhiteLandHugeSpeedTinyFlyingShipsAliensEnterpriseWhite HouseGalaxyChances AreLawnsRoboticsBackyardsFlying Saucers Author:Michio Kaku
“When I was developing the [TV Series "Daredevil"] idea, we were really doing something closer to what was in the comic book. By that, I mean in terms of civilians in the street knew that superpowers were an everyday matter of fact. When it finally ended up at Netflix, they really decided to land it in the Marvel Universe that exists in the cinematic universe. That changes the story entirely. It was no longer about the other, which is what that metaphor was. It's really more about the character herself, which I love.” MeanBookIdeasMatterCharacterFactsStoriesUniverseTermStreetsLandDecidedEverydayMetaphorComicDevelopingComic BookCiviliansMatter Of FactSuperpowerCinematicNetflixDaredevil Author:Melissa Rosenberg
