• The teachers at private Christian schools are masters at propagandizing young and gullible students. What this episode leads to is the fact that at a micro level these private Christian Schools have an appearance of saintly healthy institutions filled with the praise for the students and better than average academics.  But at the macro level its big business, war, and Christian Zionist Islamophobia.   I've personally witnessed this.  People like Mr. Williams are monsters in my opinion.  He knows just how to use fear and manipulation to steer a young mind into his 'Christian' realm.  He says his students are free to develop their own opinion about creationism but there's an implicit demand to agree with his interpretation of the 'gospel'.  
• Williams is a slick preacher masquerading as a school teacher.  He has completely captivated my son's attention and is capable of no wrong in my sons eyes.  When he made the statement that it was an honor for him to send his son to the Iraq War (to be maimed or killed and kill innocent people), I was appalled.  Yes, we all have a right to our own opinions, but nearly 80 percent of the U. S. population and a overwhelming majority of the worlds population disagrees at some level with Bush's War.  Are they all wrong?  I suppose this is typical of a fundamentalist Christian School.  This is typical of the arrogance of Evangelical leaders.
• Their belief in creationism flies in the face of science in a similar manner.  They don't tell there students that their 'literal views' of the Bible cannot be used  in any official government capacity, policy or position; cannot be mentioned in the non-religious corporate work place; cannot be used as answers to tests in any secular college or university around the world.  It's the pinnacle of arrogance that they think they can push their BS on vulnerable, young minds.   
• Now that Barack Obama has become President of the United States and has reached out to the Muslim world to strike down the methods of fear used by the Conservative right we can expect a new kind of opposition from the GOP.  Their power has been severely curtailed as seen by their losses in the Senate and House, but beware of new tactics and methods that will surface.

• 3.Catholic Liberation Theology
• Liberation theology is a school of theology within Christianity, particularly in the Roman Catholic Church. It emphasizes the Christian mission to bring justice to the poor and oppressed, particularly through political activism. Its theologians consider sin the root source of poverty, recognizing sin as exploitive capitalism and class war by the rich against the poor.

  Liberation Theologians use political theory, primarily Socialism, to help understand how to combat poverty. Some elements of certain liberation theologies have been rejected by the Catholic Church. [1] At its inception, liberation theology was predominantly found in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council. It is often cited as a form of Christian socialism, and it has enjoyed widespread influence in Latin America and among the Jesuits, although its influence diminished within Catholicism after liberation theologians were harshly admonished by Pope John Paul II (leading to the curtailing of its growth).   Wikipedia

"Modern humans" are defined as the Homo sapiens species, of which the only extant subspecies is known as Homo sapiens sapiens. Homo sapiens idaltu (roughly translated as "elder wise human"), the other known subspecies, is now extinct.[9] The Cro-Magnons, a variety of early Homo sapiens, are also extinct. Homo neanderthalensis, which became extinct 30,000 years ago, has sometimes been classified as a subspecies, "Homo sapiens neanderthalensis", but genetic studies now suggest a divergence of the Neanderthal species from Homo sapiens about 500,000 years ago[10]. Similarly, the few specimens of Homo rhodesiensis have also occasionally been classified as a subspecies, but this is not widely accepted. Anatomically modern humans first appear in the fossil record in Africa about 130,000 years ago, although studies of molecular biology give evidence that the approximate time of divergence from the common ancestor of all modern human populations was 200,000 years ago.

• The Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people who dominated the Pontic steppe and the North Caucasus from the 7th to the 10th century CE. The name 'Khazar'[1] seems to be tied to a Turkic verb form meaning "wandering".     ...      In the 7th century CE, the Khazars founded an independent Khaganate in the Northern Caucasus along the Caspian Sea. Although the Khazars were initially Tengri shamanists, many of them converted to Christianity, Islam, and other religions. During the eighth or ninth century the state religion became Judaism. At their height, the Khazar khaganate and its tributaries controlled much of what is today southern Russia, western Kazakhstan, eastern Ukraine, Azerbaijan, large portions of the Caucasus (including Circassia, Dagestan, Chechnya, and parts of Georgia), and the Crimea.     ....    Between 965 and 969, their sovereignty was broken by Sviatoslav I of Kiev, and they became a subject people of Kievan Rus'. Gradually displaced by the Rus, the Kipchaks, and later the conquering Mongol Golden Horde, the Khazars largely disappeared as a culturally distinct people. However there is a theory, argued in The Thirteenth Tribe that the dispersed Khazars are actually the ancestors of most Ashkenazi Jews, i.e. Jews whose origin is in Russia and Europe.      Wikipedia

The earliest known undisputed burial of a shaman (and by extension the earliest undisputed evidence of shamans and shamanic practices) dates back to the early Upper Paleolithic era (c. 30,000 BC) in what is now the Czech Republic. However, during the early Upper Paleolithic it was probably more common for all members of the band to participate equally and fully in religious ceremonies, in contrast to the religious traditions of later periods when religious authorities and part-time ritual specialists such as shamans, priests and medicine men were relatively common and integral to religious life.[40] Additionally, it is also possible that Upper Paleolithic religions, like contemporary and historical animistic and polytheistic religions, believed in the existence of a single creator deity in addition to other supernatural beings such as animistic spirits.[116]

Chemistry Professor Shimon Reich, a specialist in superconductivity, has demonstrated a method for dating artifacts based on the magnetic properties of lead, a material widely used in Israel and elsewhere in antiquity. Reich and coworkers found that at cryogenic temperatures, lead becomes a superconductor, but the corrosion products formed from centuries of exposure to air and water (lead oxide and lead carbonate) do not superconduct. On the basis of magnetic measurements and comparison with artifacts that were known (using other techniques) to be up to 2500 years old, the group showed that the mass of lead corrosion products is directly proportional to an object's age (New Journal of Physics, 2003, 5, 99)

and Giordano Bruno, born Filippo Bruno (1548 – February 17, 1600), was an Italian philosopher, mathematician and astronomer best known as a proponent of heliocentrism and the infinity of the universe. His cosmological theories went beyond the Copernican model in identifying the sun as just one of an infinite number of independently moving heavenly bodies: he is the first man to have conceptualized the universe as a continuum where the stars we see at night are of identical nature as the sun. He was burned at the stake by authorities in 1600 after the Roman Inquisition found him guilty of heresy. After his death he gained considerable fame; in the 19th and early 20th centuries, commentators focusing on his astronomical beliefs regarded him as a martyr for free thought and modern scientific ideas. However, later assessments have challenged the description of his beliefs as scientific, and suggest that his ideas about the universe played a substantially smaller role in his trial than his pantheist beliefs about God.[1][2]    ...     In addition to his cosmological writings, Bruno also wrote extensive works on the art of memory, a loosely-organized group of mnemonic techniques and principles. More recent assessments, beginning with the pioneering work of Frances Yates, suggest that Bruno was deeply influenced by magical views of the universe inherited from Arab astrological magic, Neoplatonism and Renaissance Hermeticism.[3] Other recent studies of Bruno have focused on his qualitative approach to mathematics and his application of the spatial paradigms of geometry to language.  

It was no accident that Hitler was an admirer of Spartan militarism. The statues of the naked and heavily muscled “Aryan men” that Nazis raised all around were inspired from Ancient Greece. They were, just like the Spartans of “300,” praise to masculinism, and “fascist aesthetics.”    ...     Sparta, A Land of Homosexual Pedophilia    In their highly interesting book, “The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party,” Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams argue that even the “masochistic homosexuality” that was so widespread among the Nazis was linked to their masculinist spirit — which comes, again, from Sparta. The makers of “300” give you no hint, but actually the gallant soldiers of the Spartan army were mostly gays who were trying to show off to each other with their military skills. And it was not just among mature men: Sparta was a land of homosexual pedophilia. As Professor Lowell Lindemann of Princeton notes, “Spartan men would often take a young boy under their wing in a close-knit, mentor-type relationship which included sexual relations.”

The book became a hot button issue, and the controversy caused Campus Crussade for Christ  and Youth for Christ  to block a planned speaking engagement by Campolo.

Nucleocosmochronology, (Wikipedia)  also known as cosmochronology, is a relatively new technique used to determine timescales for astrophysical objects and events. This technique employs the abundances of radioactive nuclides in a way that is very similar to the use of C14 in dating archeological samples, save that the elements measured are typically uranium and thorium.   ...   Nucleocosmochronology has already been successfully employed to determine the age of the Sun (4.57±0.02 Ga, i.e., 4.57×109 years) and of the Galactic thin disk (8.3±1.8 Ga), among others. It has also been used to estimate the age of the Milky Way itself, as exemplified by recent study of the halo star CS31082-001. Limiting factors in its precision are the quality of observations of faint stars, and perhaps more importantly, the uncertainty of the primordial abundances of r-process elements.

Oxidizable carbon ratio dating  (Wikipedia) is a method of dating in archeology that can be used to derive the age of charcoal samples up to 35,000 years old. The method is still in the experimental stage and not universally accepted and rarely used (as compared with well establish methods like carbon dating. Successful usage by has been demonstrated for relative dating. Its accuracy for establishing an abolute date depends on calibration of within the context of the archaeological site.

An ice core is a core sample from the accumulation of snow and ice over many years that have re-crystallized and have trapped air bubbles from previous time periods. The composition of these ice cores, especially the presence of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes, provides a picture of the climate at the time.

Amino acid dating (Wikipedia) is a dating technique used to estimate the age of a specimen in paleobiology, archaeology, forensic science, and other fields. This technique relates changes in amino acid molecules to the time elapsed since they were formed.   ...   All biological tissues contain amino acids. All amino acids except glycine possess an asymmetric carbon atom, which means that the amino acid can have two different configurations, "D" or "L". With a few important exceptions, living organisms keep all their amino acids in the "L" configuration. When an organism dies, control over the configuration of the amino acids ceases, and the ratio of D/L moves slowly toward equilibrium, a process called racemization. Thus, measuring the ratio of D/L of a sample can allow calculations of how long ago the specimen died.These are all true and another definition for amino acid is small or tiny molecules that join together to make protein. So when you look at proteins you should be able to find amino acids

Obsidian hydration dating is a geochemical method of determining age in either absolute or relative terms of an artifact made of obsidian.
