A 1978 survey of faculty suggested the need fora single volume that united introductory material on the various social science disciplines and the classroom experience of faculty already teaching in the field. This volume is the response to that need. It focuses primarily on the space shuttle era (1980s and 1990s) and is divided into four parts. Chapter one outlines characteristics and attributes of the shuttle and the technologies scheduled for transport to orbit. Chapter two is organized into sections representing seven disciplines (economics, history, international law and relations, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology) which allow faculty to relatea specific discipline to space technology and to adapt space-related issues to the teaching of that discipline. Chapter three presents materials for teaching interdisciplinary courses and topics, including observations from instructors who have offered such courses, and insights from faculty who have analyzed space technologies in debate format. The last section contains appendices with representative bibliographies, syllabi, and other materials (organized by disciplineor interdisciplinary approach) which are most useful in curriculum development rather than for identifying teaching objectives.

X a 12 Dwring the 1970s, college and university faculty reintensified efforts to teach and research the social science and humanities aspects of the space program, a developrit.nt attributable in large part to the Space Shuttle. A 1978 survey of faculty suggested the need for a single volume that united introductory material on the various -,cial science disciplines and the classroom experience of faculty already teaching in the field. In the absence of such a resource, individual instructors had to start from scratchorganizing lecture notes, bibliographies, and research topics for their stu- dents, only to discover later that such tasks already had been undertaken by one or more professionals at other institution(s). In response to this need, NASA issued a contract to Georgetown University to produce such a book, focusing primarily on the Space Shuttle era (1980s and 1990s). From the outset, NASA and the authors understood that not all social science and humanities disciplines could be represented in the volume, because of both the lack of sufficient materials in some fields and the strict page limitation on the book itself. This project relied heavily on the efforts of a large number of people beyond the editors and contributors. We want to make special note of support and direction from the late Dr. Frederick B. Tuttle, a leading NASA authority on aerospace education, who enthusiastically promoted the project and supplied insights crucial to the volume's development. The editors are especially in- debted to the NASA program officers monitoring the projectWilliam Nixon, Jesco von Puttkamer, and Gregory Vogt for their constructive criticisms and con- tinued support. We also would like to gratefully acknowl- edge the administrative and production assistance pro- vided by: David Hannah, Jr.; the department of biology at Georgetown University; Nancy Walsh; and Karen Dewey, Cheryl Newson, and Nancy Switkes.

  • Proof of God Scientific Proof That God Exists Week 1
    Proof of God Scientific Proof That God Exists Week 1: Proof of Creation Our Mission: To take as many people to Heaven as we can before we die. Period. But the Lord made the earth by his power... Jeremiah 10:12 NLT ​ As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.” So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish. 21 Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe…God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. 1 Corinthians 1:19-23, 27 NLT ​ Scientific fact: The universe has a beginning. ​ Bible fact: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 NLT ​ ​ The biggest evidence that there is a God is found in what the father of modern science Francis Bacon called, the Law of Causality. “True knowledge is knowledge by causes.” - Francis Bacon ​ Cosmological Argument: 1. Everything that had a beginning had a cause. 2. The universe had a beginning. 3. Therefore the universe had a cause. 1. The universe is running out of energy. ​ ​ Second Law of Thermodynamics: The total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease ​ over time. In all spontaneous processes, the total entropy increases and the process is irreversible. Law of Entropy: With time, things naturally fall apart.

  • Heaven Lesson 6
    Heaven Lesson 6 A. The first heaven is where the birds fly, and where the clouds form and bring rain to the earth: Gen. 1:20 (2); 7:11-12 (10); Deut. 11:11 (308); Daniel 8:8 (1311); Rev. 19:17 (1822). B. The second heaven is where the sun, stars, and planets are and have their orbits: Gen. 1:14, 16, 17 (1); Isa. 13:10 (1039); Joel 2:30 (1336); Mt. 24:29 (1440). C. The third heaven is where the throne of God is: 1 Ki. 8:30, 39 (562); Psm. 11:4 (866); 53:2 (896); Psm. 80:14 (918); 102:19 (932); 139:8 (960); 2 Cor. 12:2-4 (1703); Rev. 21 and 22 (1823). In our study, we will focus upon what Paul calls the third heaven and paradise: 2 Cor. 12:2, 4 (1703). This is the place that most Christians refer to when they speak of heaven. The Old and New Testament alike tell of a time and place when there will be a new heaven and a new earth that God will create: Isa. 65:17 (1103); 2 Pet. 3:13 (1789); Rev. 21:1 (1823). D. Many things will be different in heaven 1. Never get bored: Psm. 16:11 (867) 2. The animals will be tame and their diets changed: Isa. 11:6-7 (1037); 65:25 (1103) 3. The desert will blossom like a rose: Isa. 35:1 (1064) 4. No deformities of any kind: Isa. 35:5-6 (1064) 5. No more violence of any kind: Isa.
