Nature 3
... of the sea such as whales and sharks can be deadly. Even though the odds are slim of being killed by one, things can still happen. Such creatures like whales as depicted in Moby Dick can be a nice sight but also deadly. In the book the captain of the ship lost his leg in a prior encounter with a whale. When the crew went after Moby Dick he snapped and swelled huge waves towards the boat and attacked. He wrecked the ship. The panicked crew was scattered around the boat.

Prayer In Schools
... nation, and their classmates. They pray despite the laws. Benny Proffitt, a Southern Baptist youth-club worker said, "We believe that if we are to see America's young people come to Christ, and America turn around, it's going to happen through our schools, not our churches"(Beima 28). Russia's offical faith for seven years was atheism; however, today evangelists and Bible teachers distribute the Scriptures in the public schools. In America, whose motto is "In God We Trust", there is no affirmation of that claim in the schools, or public life; In 1999, 37 years after prayer was dismissed in schools, generation after generation is diverging from God and is perishing i ...

... the philosophy of religion, that will be centered on, are the grounds for the belief in God(s), the immortality of the soul, the nature of God(s) to humankind, and the problem of evil.
Polytheism is distinguished from monotheism, on the basis of polytheism's claim that divinity, while personal and distinguished from the universe, is many rather than one. Most traditions are polytheistic, or at least monotheistic with helper spirits; but there are a few monotheistic ones which posit a single Great Creator with no supporting cast. Except for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the world's religions are overwhelmingly polytheistic. One of the major problems of these mon ...

Dreams
... a new model of dreaming. Numerous sections of the brain aid in dreaming, but they have concluded that it is a bottom-up process which is triggered by a region called the pontine brain stem, or pons. These pons, referred to as FTG's, or gigantocellular field of the tegmentum, begin to aid in the dreaming process when the brain goes into REM sleep. REM is referred to as rapid eye movement ("How to Build...").

Are Blacks Too Cool For The We
... help us achieve our ‘50’s and ‘60’s ideals (p 643).” Blacks still want the traditional “American Dream.” Well, what is the “traditional” American Dream? Perhaps, the dream is to have a nice car and house, and a good job. But in contrast to Gaiter, I believe that these are the same things we want today. Nothing has changed except for the fact that entrepreneurs have emerged with the growth of the Web. People are finding ways to make money from avenues they never dreamed of.
