Angels & Demons #2

Angles & Demons by Dan Brown
"He was both. Men of science and religion are not unprecedented in history. Leonardo was one of them. He considered physics 'god's natural law.' He claimed God's handwriting was visible in the natural order all around us. Through science he hoped to prove God's existance to the doubting masses. He considered himself a theo-physicist."(Browm 44)
The significance of this quote is that men of science and religion are not given as much credit as they should. Someone who has the knowlage of both the greatest scientific terms and the history of the church, and can put sence into a form to combine the too interlocking is a miracle. Most people do not have the patience or knowlage to do that, this man was one of the brightes people in the world he should be greatly recognised. He see's things that might not be so clear as other things like the sun and the moon, things/ideas come to him no one knows how they just do and they are amazing!

Somthing I Read!! Recently!!!!

We got assigned this assignment and i had to find something to read (sorry didn't remember this summers reading) so i picked up the Star Tribune and found an article about the opening of the new 35W in Minneapolis by Jim Foti. A lot of people were cautious about the bridge because of what happened just over a year ago but Richard Kleinschmidt had a calling to be one of the first people to cross the new 35W. The author was talking about how the daily commute will now somewhat change and of some people conquering there fear of the bridge and the tragedy a year ago. This piece was very well put together and I agree that things will change but with some time it always takes people some time to adapt to new things. For example sophomores at Edina coming to the High school for the first day of school and not knowing were many things are and coming into a way different environment is hard to change and adapt to but as the year progresses things happen and eventually students know there way and learn the ways of EHS!!
