- 741: Canterbury Tales - Medieval Ch
- ... to take the strain of living a Christian life in the real world, the monks were like spiritual stormtroopers interceeding for an area against its supernatural enemies in mudh the same way as a local lord in his castle protected an area against its physical enemies. The people gave gifts to both lord and abbot in return for a service. The Pardoner also represents the tradition of faith -- in respect to the church of his time. The Pardoner is representative of the seamy side of the corrupt church ...
- 742: Anne Hutchinson
- ... this `Hell Gate.' Proud Jezebel has at last been cast down." (As quoted in D. Crawford, p. 137.) John Winthrop is again comparing Anne to Jezebel, a character from the Old Testament who killed the Lord's prophets, promoted Baal worship, and was eaten by the dogs after her death for her wickedness. (1 Kings 18:4, 1 Kings 16:32-33, 2 Kings 9:30-37.) This hardly seems a fair comparison to a loving woman who spent her life serving others, and trying to show others the way she thought was right in the eyes of the Lord. Anne was known in the colony as a cheerful neighbor, one who assisted at birthings, cared for the sick, even the Indians. (D. Crawford, p. 91.) Though she was vigorous and outspoken, she won over ...

I am not the least provoked and the sight of a lawyer, a pickpocket, a colonel, a fool, a lord, a gambler, a politician, a whoremonger, a physician, an evidence, a suborner, an attorney, a traitor, or the like: this is all according to the due course of things: but when I behold a lump ...
- 745: Inspiration By Homer
- ... its origins in an actual incident in polite society. Arabella Fermor, to whom Pope addresses his letter of introduction, had suffered the loss of a lock of hair. The perpetrator of this violation was Robert, Lord Petre, one of Arabella's suitors. Apparently Arabella took offence and a quarrel resulted between the two families. John Caryll, a relative of Lord Petre, requested Pope to write a humorous poem about the episode in the hopes that the two families would reconcile. "The Raping of the Lock" appeared to have served its purpose. However, in 1714 Alexander ...

Two segments of the same species Adapted to different niches An example of sympatric speciation is the genus Rhagoletis. These are a group of small flies whose larvae feed on developing fruit. The Rhagoletis pomonella is a species that feeds on hawthorns. These flies then found a new niche and began feeding on apples in orchards located in Massachusetts and Connecticut. There are now two species of the Rhagoletis pomonella. Reproductively isolated by their mating behavior. These two modes ...

- 748: Cloning
- ... God worked to create. In the beginning of human existance, God gave us all the things we would need to survive and flourish in the world. In the Bible, Genesis 2:7 states that: "The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being". Nowhere among this did I see the ability to create ... do not say or do anything, research for cloning will steadily continue and even more moral and ethical issues will arise. Cloning is a very dangerous technology and not only does it go against the Lord and everything he worked to create but it also works against society in general.

- 749: Demeter and Persephone: Relationship Between Parent and Child
- ... cry calling her father Zeus and all the other gods to help her, but no one came. The only ones who heard her pleas were Hecate, goddess of the moon and daughter of Persaeus, and lord Helius the sun god, son of Hyperion. Them hearing her pleas was like children identifying with each other of the mistreatment of parents to their children.

- 750: Where Do We Draw the Line?
- ... in order to keep a sense of normalcy. Of course you cannot defy nature without defying its creator: God. Huxley’s world state makes a mockery of God and religion. Instead of calling him “Our Lord” they refer to him as “Our Ford” after Henry Ford, the maker of the model T. The mockery of Christianity in particular goes even further when they use a “T” to replace the traditional symbol ... ceremonies. The nature of Huxley’s “Orgy Porgies” is ridiculous, but it too implies that humans have a natural tendency to want to worship some form of God, whether it is a Ford or a Lord. It goes to show us that while science can horribly distort an entire planet’s way of life, there are some natural tendencies it cannot break down. The final convincing argument that Huxley makes against ...
