Jesus tells a parable about a farmer scattering seed on the ground. The seed grows although the farmer does not know how. First a stalk appears, then a head with full grain. When the grain is ripe, the farmer harvests it with a sickle.

Cloudgene is an open-source platform that provides a graphical web interface to simplify the execution of MapReduce programs for genomic data analysis in public and private clouds. It allows users to integrate different MapReduce programs through a plugin interface, import and export data from various sources, and connect programs together in a pipeline. Cloudgene handles setting up clusters in public clouds and installing programs and data, making it easier for scientists to perform MapReduce analysis without having to manage the underlying infrastructure.
CT Brown - Doing next-gen sequencing analysis in the cloudJan Aerts
This document summarizes work on digital normalization, a technique for reducing sequencing data size prior to assembly. Digital normalization works by discarding reads whose k-mer counts are below a cutoff, based on analysis of k-mer abundances across the dataset. It can remove over 95% of data in a single pass with fixed memory. This makes genome and metagenome assembly scalable to larger datasets using cloud computing resources. The work is done in an open science manner, with all code, data, and manuscripts openly accessible online.
A seminary education prepares students for ministry in a digital world by:
1) Providing content knowledge of scripture and theology that can be faithfully applied to different contexts.
2) Equipping students to understand and engage with the digital culture in which ministry now occurs.
3) Interweaving biblical content with real-world contexts through compassionate teaching that leads students outward.

An Introduction to the Book of Isaiah.pdfLisa Garcia
This document provides an introduction and overview of the Book of Isaiah. It discusses the book's authorship, arguing that it was written by the prophet Isaiah based on both internal biblical evidence and external ancient sources. It examines the book's literary structure and outlines its main theological messages concerning God, the coming King from David's line, the virgin birth, and God's suffering servant. The document also establishes the historical period of Isaiah's prophecies as being during the Assyrian threat faced by Judah in the 8th century BC. It provides a critical review of scholarly debates around the authorship of different sections of Isaiah.
The document discusses different views on how Christians should think about creation and evolution. It presents a traditional Christian view that takes the early chapters of Genesis literally, believing in a recent six-day creation and global flood. It then discusses the view of Denis Alexander, who argues that Christians can believe in evolution if they see it as the mechanism by which God created biological diversity over long periods of time, rather than rejecting the Bible's account of creation. The document provides perspectives from both sides of the debate.
The document discusses several ways that the Bible has been shown to be scientifically accurate through archaeological findings and modern scientific discoveries:
1) The Bible indicated centuries ago that the earth is round and hangs in space, not supported by pillars as many ancient civilizations believed.
2) References in the Bible from thousands of years ago accurately described ocean currents and the second law of thermodynamics showing the universe is running down, things modern science has only discovered recently.
3) Archaeological evidence has been found that supports biblical figures and events like King David and the Great Flood, while disproving other religious texts like the Book of Mormon. Skeptics who tried to disprove the Bible ended up converting after their own archaeological
This document provides an overview of several articles from the March/April 2005 issue of Endtime Magazine. It discusses the following topics in 3 sentences or less each:
- The Sanhedrin has been reestablished in Israel for the first time in 1,600 years, fulfilling a prophecy by Maimonides.
- An interview with Maurice Strong, a high-ranking UN official charged with reshaping the UN for the 21st century global affairs.
- Whether the biblical prophecy of a final seven year period could begin in 2005 based on events unfolding in Israel and the Middle East.
- The massive 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami may have been a fulfillment of end times prophecies of increased earth
The document discusses theories that extraterrestrials may have visited Earth in the past. It examines perspectives on whether the "sons of God" and nephilim mentioned in Genesis could have been aliens. While some speculate that aliens could have influenced human evolution or the Bible, the document argues that the Bible does not mention alien life or visitation and that its account of creation suggests life began through God's creative act on Earth alone.
The document provides a detailed overview of the Bible, including:
1) A description of the Bible as a "beautiful palace" containing historical accounts, wisdom literature, prophecies, the Gospels, letters from apostles, and Revelation.
2) Extensive statistics on the Old and New Testaments such as the number of books, chapters, verses, and words in each testament as well as the longest and shortest books.
3) Details on how frequently Old Testament passages are cited in the New Testament and the number of Old Testament events referred to.

The document discusses evidence for the biblical account of Noah's Ark and the global flood. It summarizes arguments that have been made against the feasibility of Noah's Ark carrying all animal kinds on board. It then summarizes the findings of a book that systematically addresses all criticisms of the Ark's feasibility through calculations of space and food requirements. The document also discusses other biblical and historical references supporting the Ark account.
All about the bible, how it was put together, why certain books were left out, how do we know that it\'s divine, what about the Da Vinci Code, dealing with "contradictions", etc.
This document discusses several topics related to biblical knowledge and ancient history:
1) It examines evidence for a young earth, including scientific dating methods that suggest the earth is thousands rather than billions of years old.
2) It analyzes fossil evidence commonly cited for human evolution and finds that many such examples have been debunked as hoaxes or misidentified remains.
3) It explores what ancient humans may have really been like based on biblical accounts, finding evidence that contrary to popular views, people of the ancient past were intelligent and advanced.
4) Finally, it discusses theories about dinosaurs' origin and extinction, noting their possible existence contemporaneously with humans as described in legends of dragons and their demise

This document provides an overview of various approaches to biblical interpretation throughout Jewish history, beginning with Midrashic, Talmudic, and medieval interpretations. It then discusses contemporary hermeneutical approaches including Neo-Hasidic, Jewish environmentalism, social justice, Palestinian, feminist, animal justice, and Messianic interpretations. The document lists sources to focus on for each contemporary approach and provides instructions for a short paper assignment focusing on author presuppositions, purposes, unique interpretive methods, conclusions, and strengths/problems. It also provides library resources and reviews key concepts in textual transmission and early interpretive literature.
The document provides an overview of the structure and contents of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh). It is divided into three parts: the Torah (Pentateuch), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). Key figures and stories are summarized for each book and section, including the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah. The document also provides learning outcomes and exercises for understanding the timeline of events and structure of the Hebrew Bible.
This document provides an overview of the Bible, discussing its origins, composition, canonization, and authority. It notes that the Old Testament was compiled around 400 BC and the New Testament was widely accepted as scripture by the early church, though officially canonized in 397 AD. Various passages from the Bible are presented to argue for its divine inspiration, infallibility, and use for teaching. The Dead Sea Scrolls are mentioned as an important archaeological discovery that supported the reliability of the biblical text.
This document discusses the concept of "baramins" or "created kinds" in young-earth creationist biology. It provides background on the development of baraminology as a field, which aims to identify groups of organisms that were created separately and can be considered distinct "kinds." The document outlines methods used in baraminology studies to determine continuity or discontinuity between groups, including morphological comparisons, fossil evidence, and evidence from hybridization. It also discusses perspectives on how baramins may relate to biological classifications like family and where baraminologists are publishing their work.
The document discusses several scientific facts and theories that are mentioned in the Quran, including:
1) The Quran's description of mountains as "pegs" corresponds to modern geology which shows that mountains have deep roots underground.
2) Verses describe oceans mixing but not intermingling, consistent with modern oceanography which shows waters are separated by barriers like temperature and salinity differences.
3) The Quran correctly states that the sun has its own light whereas the moon only reflects light.
4) Other scientific ideas in the Quran such as iron coming from outer space and the expanding universe are discussed.
This document discusses biblical creationism and provides a summary of a presentation on biological sciences from a biblical creationist perspective. It defines evolution as a religion that has influenced various scientific fields. It reviews biblical passages about science and origins. It compares the biblical and evolutionary views on the origin of life. It summarizes the evolving theories of evolutionary scientists regarding how life originated on Earth and outlines various scientific issues and problems with evolutionary origin theories.

It outlines several tools and features for comparing versions side by side such as using the standard view and opening new browse windows, toggling analysis windows on and off, stacking analysis and browse windows, using the parallel versions tool, report generator, and pop-up copy tool in Microsoft Word. It also mentions creating favorites with customized settings for parallel text viewing.
1) The parable describes a landowner who plants a vineyard, builds structures to support it, and leases it to tenants.
2) When the landowner sends servants to collect the harvest, the tenants beat and kill them. They also kill the landowner's son.
3) The landowner will destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. The chief priests and elders realize Jesus told the parable against them.

Five bridesmaids brought oil for their lamps to greet the bridegroom, while five others did not. When the bridegroom was delayed, all the bridesmaids fell asleep. At midnight, they were awakened by a shout announcing the bridegroom's arrival. The foolish bridesmaids' lamps had gone out and they asked the wise ones for oil, but there was not enough to share. The wise bridesmaids told them to go buy oil themselves. By the time the foolish ones returned, the bridegroom had arrived and entered the wedding banquet with the five prepared bridesmaids, shutting the door behind them.
1) The document discusses four approaches - social description, social history, sociology of knowledge, and models from cultural anthropology - for understanding the Gospel of Mark through a social criticism lens.
2) Social description involves understanding the social setting and interactions by reconstructing what is needed to film the story. Social history examines the broader sociopolitical forces that shaped Jesus' ministry and the Gospels' writing.
3) Sociology of knowledge reconstructs the cultural worldviews that legitimated social order. Models from cultural anthropology map cultural dynamics like kinship, power relations, and purity rules to analyze the society.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life.
