    “The nineteen-seater Twin Otters offer three significant advantages: one, they can take off and land on the short runways common in mountainous terrains; two, they are economical to operate in low-traffic routes; three, they help people overcome claustrophobia. You have only two options鈥攖o cure yourself or jump into the woods below. And only one of those options guarantees survival.”
    Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

    “During the Depression of the 1930s everyone suffered, even the rich. It was hard times for all and people helped each other if they could. Americans coming through that together meant something. Now they were being asked to struggle again. But because so many servicemen were killed at Pearl Harbor, Americans had a cause that they all shared 鈥 fight the Fascists and keep the threat and the war from coming home. Yet, now the grim reality, the depths of the sacrifices, and the grief of their losses was devastating.”
    A.G. Russo, The Cases Nobody Wanted

    “The fire on the mountain.鈥 That was Anna. 鈥淎lchemy,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 feel it singing in my bones.鈥
    鈥淪inging?鈥 Mary would never understand Anna. The young woman turned away.
    Wiseman鈥檚 reply was tinged with respect.
    鈥淭hat great pair of alchemists, Francis Ransome and Roberta Le More, believed the work they did affected the world鈥檚 spirit, the anima mundi. The Native Americans they met believed they too could and should interact with the Great Spirit. They lived with reverence for the land and all its peoples, the ancestors, the animals, the rocks, the trees, mountains.鈥澛
    Mary鈥檚 jaw dropped; Caroline glowed; Anna pretended not to listen. Wiseman nodded, then continued.
    鈥淵ou mean鈥?鈥 began Mary.
    鈥淵es, it could have been so different, a meeting of like-minded earth-based spiritualities. Just imagine, what could have been?”

    “While an elderly man in his mid-eighties looks curiously at a porno site, his grandson asks him from afar, 鈥溾榃hat are you reading, grandpa?鈥欌 鈥溾業t鈥檚 history, my boy.鈥欌 鈥淭he grandson comes nearer and exclaims, 鈥溾楤ut this is a porno site, grandpa, naked chicks, sex . . . a lot of sex!鈥欌 鈥溾榃ell, it鈥檚 sex for you, my son, but for me it鈥檚 history,鈥 the old man says with a sigh.鈥 All of people in the cabin burst into laughter. 鈥淎 stale joke, but a cool one,鈥 added William More, the man who just told the joke. The navigator skillfully guided the flying disc among the dense orange-yellow blanket of clouds in the upper atmosphere that they had just entered. Some of the clouds were touched with a brownish hue at the edges. The rest of the pilots gazed curiously and intently outwards while taking their seats. The flying saucer descended slowly, the navigator鈥檚 actions exhibiting confidence. He glanced over at the readings on the monitors below the transparent console: Atmosphere: Dense, 370 miles thick, 98.4% nitrogen, 1.4% methane Temperature on the surface: 鈥179掳C / 鈥290掳F Density: 1.88 g/cm鲁 Gravity: 86% of Earth鈥檚 Diameter of the cosmic body: 3200 miles / 5150 km.”

    “This feeling of stress triggers a cascade of physiological consequences. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain release hormones that cause the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands located on the kidneys. Cortisol increases heart rate, among other things, readying the body for 鈥渇ight鈥 or 鈥渇light.鈥 Acutely, the release of cortisol is beneficial and helps you cope with whatever is urgently being demanded of you. But if the stress becomes chronic, maladaptive things begin to happen. Normally, the release of cortisol turns the hypothalamus and pituitary off, stopping the release of hormone, which in turn stops the further release of cortisol from the adrenal glands. It鈥檚 a nice, clean, negative feedback loop. But in the chronically stressed, the loop breaks. The brain stops reacting to cortisol. Our natural, automatic shutoff valve stops working. The brain keeps releasing hormone, and the adrenal glands keep dumping cortisol into the bloodstream, even when the stressful thing that initially triggered the stress response is no longer around. Chronic, elevated levels of cortisol have been associated with a weakened immune system, deficits in short-term memory, chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety disorders, and depression.”

    “However, there is a way to know for certain that Noah鈥檚 Flood and the Creation story never happened: by looking at our mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).聽 Mitochondria are the 鈥渃ellular power plants鈥 found in all of our cells and they have their own DNA which is separate from that found in the nucleus of the cell.聽 In humans, and most other species that mitochondria are found in, the father鈥檚 mtDNA normally does not contribute to the child鈥檚 mtDNA; the child normally inherits its mtDNA exclusively from its mother.聽 This means that if no one鈥檚 genes have mutated, then we all have the same mtDNA as our brothers and sisters and the same mtDNA as the children of our mother鈥檚 sisters, etc. This pattern of inheritance makes it possible to rule out 鈥減opulation bottlenecks鈥 in our species鈥 history.聽 A bottleneck is basically a time when the population of a species dwindled to low numbers.聽 For humans, this means that every person born after a bottleneck can only have the mtDNA or a mutation of the mtDNA of the women who survived the bottleneck. This doesn鈥檛 mean that mtDNA can tell us when a bottleneck happened, but it can tell us when one didn鈥檛 happen because we know that mtDNA has a rate of approximately one mutation every 3,500 years (Gibbons 1998; Soares et al 2009). So if the human race were actually less than 6,000 years old and/or 鈥渆verything on earth that breathed died鈥 (Genesis 7:22) less than 6,000 years ago, which would be the case if the story of Adam and the story of Noah鈥檚 flood were true respectively, then every person should have the exact same mtDNA except for one or two mutations.聽 This, however, is not the case as human mtDNA is much more diverse (Endicott et al 2009), so we can know for a fact that the story of Adam and Eve and the story of Noah are fictional. 聽 There”
