theories

There were dozens of theories about what it was, that dome. Every scientist in the world, it seemed, had made a pilgrimage to the site. Tests had been conducted, measurements taken.They had tried drilling through it. Under it. Had flown over it. Had dug beneath it. Had approached it by submarine.Nothing worked.Every species of doomsayer from Luddite to End Times nut had had his say. It was a judgment. On America__ technological obsession, on America__ moral failure. This. That. Something else.Then the twins had popped out. Just like that. First Emma. Then, a few minutes later, Anna. Alive and well at the exact moment of their fifteenth birthday.They told tales of life inside the bowl. What they called the FAYZ.Connie Temple__ heart had swelled with pride for what she had learned of her son, Sam. And crashed into despair with tales of her other son, her unacknowledged child, Caine.Then, nothing. No other kids arrived for a while.Black despair settled over the families as they realized that it would be only these two. Months passed. Many lost faith. How could kids survive alone?But then, the Prophetess had reached into their dreams.One night Connie Temple had a lurid, incredible dream. She__ never had such a detailed dream. It was terrifying. The power of it took her breath away. There was a girl in that

If you can't do it, don't pledge to do it. Don't be a liar; say only what you can do. It's better for you to have a "single sentence" manifesto about your life which is fulfilled than to have 25 chapters' theories about your visions that remain undone!

The official recruiting process for their posse began. Because Carlos, Narc, and Trevor each had high SQs, Heeb and Evan reasoned that adding the three to their group would raise the average SQ of each group member (much the way that colleges recruit individuals with higher test scores to increase the average test scores of their matriculated students).

And as their penile pain began to subside, the two men were able to form more complex thoughts, resulting in a collaborative work: the development of a worldview that might be described as __enilosophy.

What__ SQ?_ asked Evan.__exual Quotient.___hat__ that?___asically, it__ your odds of getting laid. Everyone has an SQ. just like everyone has an IQ._____e never heard that term before.___hat__ because I made it up.___hat figures. Finally applying your actuarial skills to what really matters, eh?

God created_ light anddark, heaven and hell__cience claims the same thing as religion, that the Big Bang createdeverything in the universe with an opposite.__ncluding matter itself, antimatter

Spiritual activity, education, civilization, culture, the idea are all vague, indefinite concepts, under the banner of which it is quite convenient to use words that have a still less clear meaning and therefore can easily be plugged into any theory.

Theories without data are like daydreams.

Theories look great on paper until reality scribbles all over the page.

What if one were to want to hunt for these hidden presences? You can__ just rummage around like you__e at a yard sale. You have to listen. You have to pay attention. There are certain things you can__ look at directly. You need to trick them into revealing themselves. That__ what we__e doing with Walter, Jaz. We__e juxtaposing things, listening for echoes. It__ not some silly cybernetic dream of command and control, modeling the whole world so you can predict the outcome. It__ certainly not a theory of everything. I don__ have a theory of any kind. What I have is far more profound.___hat__ that?___ sense of humor.__az looked at him, trying to find a clue in his gaunt face, in the clear gray eyes watching him with such - what? Amusement? Condescension? There was something about the man which brought on a sort of hermeneutic despair. He was a forest of signs.__e__e hunting for jokes._ Bachman spoke slowly, as if to a child. __arapraxes. Cosmic slips of the tongue. They__e the key to the locked door. They__l help us discover it.___iscover what?___he face of God. What else would we be looking for?

History is a hermaphrodite with many distinguished lovers. We are neither mysteries nor strangers but the living breath of revelation made flesh by the unrestrained desires of a free and universal love. Universal me. Universal you._--from Past Present and Future are One

Man is so intelligent that he feels impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic.

Leaders walk their talks. They don__ give theories that do not work. They have clarity into their dreams and insight into their directions!

People are tired of being told that it's possible... It's time to show them how it can be possible. Leadership is demonstration.

People easily become familiar with what you teach them practically than what you tell them verbally. Action fixes images in their minds and they can carry those images for a long period.

The dismaying truth is that birtherism is part of a larger pattern of rejection of reality that has taken hold of intimidating segments of one of the two political parties that alternate in power in our governing institutions. It is akin to the view that global warming is a hoax, or that the budget can be balanced through spending cuts alone, or that contraception causes abortion, or that evolution is just another theory, on a par with the theory that the earth is six thousand years old.

Leadership is built on inspirations. Inspiration does both the theoretical and the practical job. By inspiration, people are not only informed to know what is right. But they are also convinced to always do what__ right.

It's impossible to do science without faith. Sometimes scientists build theories on the premises of faulty assumptions until they discover they were in error and begin again from square one until they discover the true theory. It's quite different with theologians, they build false theory upon false theory until they give you detailed descriptions of heaven and hell and construct dogmas to protect their errors and if you dare say they are in error they condemn you to eternal damnation they arrived at through false theories
