Earth-Like Planet with Intelligent Life? Why 400 Years?
Paul H. Carr, Ph. D.
In 1584, Dominican monk Giordano Bruno envisioned the stars as "countless suns with countless earths, all rotating around their suns.” Searching for intellectual freedom, he fled his native Italy to Protestant Switzerland and Germany, but in 1600 the Roman Inquisition condemned him for heresy. He was burned at the stake.
Fast-forwarding to 1995, the Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz announced the discovery of a planet orbiting a star similar to our sun (51 Pegasi). In 2010, 500 planets had been found orbiting 421 stars. On Feb 2, 2011, NASA announced that the Kepler space telescope had identified 1200 planet candidates.
It took 400 years for telescope technology to advance and for Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Bradley, and Foucault to establish heliocentric cosmology, culminating in today’s astrophysics with digital imaging and processing. Here is your opportunity to learn about the progress we are making towards discovering an earth-like planet with the possibility of intelligent life. Contrasting with Bruno, in 2010 Dominican Francisco Ayala, who had been president of the Sigma Xi and AAAS, won the $1.6M Templeton Prize for affirming life’s spiritual dimension.

Cosmology endeavors to use the scientific method to understand the origin, evolution and fate of our Universe. Like any field of science, cosmology involves the formation of theories or hypotheses about the universe which make specific predictions for phenomena that can be tested with observations.
Depending on the outcome of the observations, the theories will need to be abandoned, revised or extended to accommodate the data. On the other hand, The Glorious Qur’an deals with facts of creation.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

36. 1927 - Georges Lemaitre, a Jesuit
trained priest, proposed that the
Universe was expanding based
upon his observation on an
apparent Red Shift of the spectral
light of various galaxies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre
38. In 1929, Edwin Hubble, an astronomer at
Caltech, agreed with Lemaitre’s
calculations.
v = HoD or D = v/Ho
In 1990 the Hubble Space Telescope finally
confirmed the red shift appears to imply
that the universe is expanding.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble%27s_law
39. But, instead of God causing the
universe to expand secular
scientists hypothesize ‘the big
bang’, ‘dark energy’ and ‘dark
matter’ as the cause of the
expansion.
44. The Bible says that God…
”spreadeth out the heavens”
Job 9:8 (cir 3,500 years ago)
and
“stretcheth out the heavens”
Isaiah 40:22 (2,700 years ago)
and
“stretcheth forth the heavens”
Isaiah 44:24 (2,700 years ago)
and Zechariah 12:1 (2,480 years ago)
46. God, through the Bible, has been
teaching us about the expanding
universe for over 3,500 years.
Technology has now confirmed the
accuracy of God’s word.
47. Stretching out the Heavens solves…
• The red shift problem
• The horizon problem
• The dark matter problem
• The dark energy problem
• The Anti-Matter problem
• The 20BY vs 6,000 yrs problem
13.6BY12.5BY
48. But, the youth are not allowed to
hear in the schools that the Bible
has never been proven wrong!
51. Jesus taught us
“And now I have told you
before it come to pass,
that, when it is come to
pass, ye might believe.”
John 14:29 (KJV)
