  The case Case Of Galileo In 1613 the Italian scientist Galileo published a work known as “Letters on Sunspots”. In it, he presented evidence that the earth rotates around the sun, rather than the sun around the earth. By so doing, he set in motion a series of events that finally brought him before the Roman Catholic Inquisition under “vehement suspicion of heresy”. Eventually, he was forced to “recant”. Why was the idea that the earth moves around the sun viewed by as heresy? Because Galileo's accusers claimed that it was contrary to what the Bible says. It is widely held today that the Bible is unscientific, and some point to Galileo's experiences to prove it. But is this the case? When answering that question, we have to remember that the Bible is a book of prophecy, history,prayer,law,counsel, and knowledge about God. It does not claim to be a scientific textbook. Nevertheless, when the Bible does touch on scientific matters, what it says is completely acc...

  Did You Know?  The History of the Middle Finger... Well, now...,.. here's something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to share with my intelligent friends in the hopes that they too, will feel blessed in having gained more knowledge. History is way more fun when you know more fun facts about it, don’t you agree? Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as 'plucking the yew' (or 'pluck yew'), Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, w...

  “BREAKING NEWS” 1926 A rare photo taken of the last man/ape ,the locals called him “Gigantic Homo sapiens” . Living in Fingal's Cave on the island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides he and his species were employed to collect bats high in the cave roofs . The bats were eaten for their meat and the wings were used as a crude contraceptive . Unfortunately “Gigantic Homo sapiens” didn’t find female Homo sapiens very attractive and the species soon died out causing the human population in the surrounding area to triple in just five years ( no contraceptives ) His Bones were recently uncovered by builders building a history museum called ( ironically ) “where did all the bats go” His remains are now in the said museum with a plaque saying “without Gigantic Homo sapiens” the population would have grown to big to quickly thank you”

  From Zendaya in Challengers to the plays of Shakespeare, love triangles in various arrangements have long been a romantic staple. But scientists now believe that some of these famous throuples may actually be an entirely new form of sexual attraction. A new study from researchers at Seattle University argues that 'symbiosexual' people are attracted to the energy between established couples rather than any of the individuals themselves. A large number of participants in the study reported feeling a sexual and romantic attraction to a 'third force' or 'synergy' between the existing members of a couple. Dr Sally Johnston, an adjunct professor of anthropology and sociology who conducted the study, says: 'We need to rethink the nature of human attraction and desire as only one-to-one experiences.' It might seem like sexual and romantic attraction is something that happens between two individual people -whoever you are attracted to. However, in research publ...

  The coconut crab is the largest terrestrial arthropod in the world. The coconut crab (Birgus latro) is a terrestrial hermit crab, also known as the predatory crab or palm thief.  It can grow up to one m wide, from the tip of one leg to the other, and weigh up to four kg. Found on islands throughout the Indian Ocean and parts of the Pacific, adult coconut crabs feed mainly on fleshy fruits, nuts, seeds and the pith of fallen trees. Although, as their name suggests, they are often associated with the coconut palm, coconuts do not make up a large part of their diet.  Rather, they eat carrion and other organic matter that they find unattended on the ground. These are potential food sources that they explore and possibly snatch away, hence their other name "predator crab". See more...

  Someone posted this pic a few days ago. Many people wanted to know the story behind the statue, so here it is….  Kópakonan: A statue of the Seal Woman is in Mikladagur, on the island of Kalsoy. It is made of bronze and stainless steel. The statue is designed to withstand 13metre waves. In early 2015, a 11.5 meter wave swept over the statue. It stood firm and no damage was caused. (See comments for pics of this). The legend of Kópakonan (the Seal Woman) is one of the best-known folktales in the Faroe Islands. Seals were believed to be former human beings who voluntarily sought death in the ocean. Once a year, on the Thirteenth night, they were allowed to come on land, strip off their skins and amuse themselves as human beings, dancing and enjoying themselves. A young farmer from the village of Mikladalur on the northern island of Kalsoy, wondering if this story was true, went and lay in wait on the beach one Thirteenth evening. He watched and saw the seals arriving in large n...

  By Stacy Liberatore For Dailymail.com The agonizing crucifixion of Jesus from the Bible details how he endured severe beatings, punctures and nails driven into his hands and feet. Christians believe those wounds were miraculously imprinted on the burial shroud after Jesus was resurrected from the dead, scorched into the fibers by a burst of energy when he came back to life. Now, a new analysis of the Shroud of Turin - also known as the Holy Shroud - claims to have uncovered evidence that the crucifixion may be historically accurate. An engineer from the University of Padua in Italy used modern technology to reanalyze samples taken from the cloth in the 1970s, finding tiny blood particles showing signs of organ failure, trauma, disease and radiation.  Materials that were typical in ancient Jerusalem were also said to be discovered, suggesting that the shroud may have originated in the region and not in Europe where many skeptics think it was created as a medieval forgery. ...
