William Gilbert was an English scientist, the "father of electrical
studies" and a pioneer researcher into magnetism. Gilbert coined the
names 'electric attraction', 'electric force', and 'magnetic pole'. Like
Copernicus, he believed the Earth rotates on its axis, and that the
fixed stars were not all at the same distance from the earth. Gilbert's
findings suggested that magnetism was the soul of the Earth, and that a
perfectly spherical lodestone, when aligned with the Earth's poles,
would spin on its axis, just as the Earth spins on its axis over a
period of 24 hours. Gilbert was debunking the traditional cosmologists'
belief that the Earth was fixed at the centre of the universe, and
providing food for thought for Galileo, who discovered that the Earth
revolves around the Sun.
Things are seldom what they seem.

William F.
Albright was an American archaeologist, biblical
scholar, linguist and expert on ceramics. Albright became known to the
public for his role in the authentication of the Dead Sea Scrolls in
1948, but made his scholarly reputation as the leading theorist and
practitioner of biblical
archaeology, that branch of archaeology that sheds light upon the
social and political structure, the religious concepts and practices and
other human activities and relationships that are found in the Bible or
pertain to peoples mentioned in the Bible. "I know of no finding in archaeology that's properlyconfirmed which is in opposition to the Scriptures. The Bible is the most accurate history textbook the world has ever seen." Dr Clifford Wilson Biblical

  'Lost'
addresses years of questions in finale  
AP - May 24, 2010  

The premiere of "Lost" ended memorably with Charlie's plaintive question
to his fellow island castaways: "Guys, where ARE we?" Six seasons and
some 120 episodes later, many viewers might be wondering the same thing
as the much-awaited "Lost" finale brought the series to a rapturous
close Sunday night. Viewers, where are we? The answer: Almost anywhere
we want to be.
If ever a TV series could be likened to a journey, "Lost" is it, and as
it came to the end of the road it left its audience with comfort and
inspiration more than hard answers. There was also, not surprisingly, a
sense of being lost in the maw of a show that henceforth will give up
nothing more, a show whose sweep and ambiguity will fuel debate and
theorizing from its viewers for years to come. That, dear viewers, is
where you are.https://www.crystalinks.com/ezine.html
