A DefInition Of GoD
This poem describes the author's conception of God. In 3 sentences:
God fills the gaps in human imperfection and searches out forlorn sinners. He comes uninvited to match man's earthly passions with omnipresence, and moves in when all else have fled to stir wilted leaves to life. The poem depicts God as being as human as mathematics, reigning within the geometry of love without beginning or end to atone for human imperfection and worship man everywhere by making amends.
Methods of Inquiry
This document discusses several methods of determining what is true or valid, including tradition (the Method of Tenacity), intuition based on gut feeling or prior experience, and empirical observation through the senses (as in the saying "to see is to believe"). It also mentions using logical reasoning and rationality to arrive at answers or beliefs.
Reasoning & Inference
This document discusses different types of logical reasoning and inference. It defines immediate inference as deriving a new proposition from one original proposition by rearranging its terms while maintaining the same meaning. Syllogism is forming a conclusion based on two or more premises. Conversion, obversion, and contraposition are types of eduction where a new proposition is formed by changing subject and predicate terms or their contradictories. The inverse combines conversion, obversion, and contraposition.
Body System
This document contains a diagram of the major organs and structures of the human digestive, urinary, reproductive, skeletal, and muscular systems. The digestive system organs include the esophagus, liver, stomach, small and large intestines, appendix, and rectum. The urinary system contains the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Reproductive organs shown are the ovaries, uterus, vagina, prostate gland, testes, and associated ducts. Key bones of the skeleton include the skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, pelvis, and long bones of the arms and legs. Several muscles are labeled, such as the biceps, triceps, and muscles
Pioneers of Radiology
The document discusses important figures and discoveries in the fields of electricity, vacuums, x-rays, and image recording materials. Some of the key people mentioned include Archimedes, Democritus, Thales, Pierre and Marie Curie, Evangelista Torricelli, Otto van Guericke, William Gilbert, Isaac Newton, Charles Dufay, Wilhelm Röntgen, and J.H. Scholtz. Röntgen accidentally discovered x-rays in 1895, while Scholtz produced the first photographic copy of written material, laying foundations for further developments in imaging technologies.
