conservativebrew: Let’s see if this is actually true. ALL of the following men where Roman Catholic priests: Francesco Castracane degli Antelminelli (1817–1899) – Botanist who was one of the first to introduce microphotography into the study of biology Roger Bacon (c. 1214–1294) – Significant contributions to mathematics and optics; forerunner of modern scientific method Eugenio Barsanti (1821–1864) – Possible inventor of the internal combustion engine Daniello Bartoli (1608–1685) – Bartoli and fellow Jesuit astronomer Niccolò Zucchi are credited as probably having been the first to see the equatorial belts on the planet Jupiter Paolo Boccone (1633–1704) – Cistercian botanist who contributed to the fields of medicine and toxicology Anselmus de Boodt (1550–1632) – One of the founders of mineralogy Theodoric Borgognoni (1205–1298) – Medieval Surgeon who made important contributions to antiseptic practice and anaesthetics Christopher Borrus (1583–1632) – Mathematician and astronomy who made observations on the magnetic variation of the compass Roger Joseph Boscovich (1711–1787) – formulation of modern atomic theory, important contributions to astronomy Thomas Bradwardine (c. 1290–1349) – Mathematician who contributed to mean speed theorem; one of the Oxford Calculators Jean Buridan (c. 1300 – after 1358) – Early ideas of momentum and inertial motion; sowed the seeds of the Copernican revolution in Europe Jean Baptiste Carnoy (1836–1899) – Founder of the science of cytology Bonaventura Cavalieri (1598–1647) – He is known for his work on the problems of optics and motion, work on the precursors of infinitesimal calculus, and the introduction of logarithms to Italy. Cavalieri’s principle in geometry partially anticipated integral calculus Charles-Michel de l’Épée (1712–1789) – Known as the “father of the deaf” and established the world’s first free school for the deaf Václav Prokop Diviš (1698–1765) – Studied the lightning rod independent of Franklin; constructed the first electrified musical instrument in history Jean-Charles de la Faille (1597–1652) – Jesuit mathematician who determined the center of gravity of the sector of a circle for the first time Andrew Gordon (Benedictine) (1712–1751) – Benedictine monk, physicist, and inventor who made the first electric motor Marin Mersenne (1588–1648) – Philosopher, mathematician, and music theorist who is often referred to as the “father of acoustics” Robert Grosseteste (c. 1175 – 1253) – One of the most knowledgeable men of the Middle Ages; has been called “the first man to write down a complete set of steps for performing a scientific experiment.” Antoine de Laloubère (1600–1664) – The first mathematician to study the properties of the helix James B.

So, you can either beleive the rant of an atheist or, actuall, recorded, historical and factual data…your call. Zoom

Consider that the chief dangers which confront the 21st century will be religion without the Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration and heaven without hell.

: On Heroes

In the classic debate of Batman vs Superman, I’ve always sided with The Dark Knight.

As a kid, it was mainly because Batman had all these cool toys and gadgets, and a costume that reminded me of ninjas. What boy didn’t ever wrap a t-shirt around his head pretending to be a silent assassin?

This is where I rest.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; 
   the LORD bestows favor and honor. 
No good thing does he withhold 
   from those who walk uprightly.

Lyrics to Love in a Box :

It’s easy to see how everything is loosely
Put into a box to describe how
Well it is working
but can you tell me
How did she knock me off of my feet
When she said hello
My name is beautiful
I said excuse me miss but it’s time for me to hit the floor
And now this dancing has turned to falling
Words can’t do justice to this girl I know

And It’s those deep breaths that get me through the times
she’s standing next to me
She’s nothing short of lovely
Does she notice that I can’t breathe
Everything around me is getting hazy

I’ll loosen up my tie
No use in being shy

So take one petal at a time
And toss it to the ground
Closer now, I’ll touch your lips to mine
And feel how we have to hold our breath
To make sure we don’t miss one moment tonight

Under this moonlight
I can see the mystery behind your eyes
With every taste girl, well I delight in you
And yet this distance
That separates my hand from yours
Can only make me appreciate your heart
I adore you

So take one petal at a time
And toss it to the ground
Closer now, I’ll touch your lips to mine
And feel how we have to hold our breath
To make sure we don’t miss one moment tonight

Quiet now, she’s fast asleep
And to my arm she’s clinging
You’re mine girl
And my heart is yours

So take one petal at a time
And toss it to the ground
Closer now, I’ll touch your lips to mine
And feel how we have to hold our breath
To make sure we don’t miss one moment tonight

Literary Love

Go ahead, read all the Romance Period novels you’d like but I plan on putting them all to shame in the way I treat and respect you. I’ll give you that literary love you’ve longed so long for.
