A Texan looks at Lincoln on the 200th anniversary of his birth
Hello
Interesting photos on the link below. -------------------------------------- FROM: http://hubpages.com/hub/A-Texan-look...y-of-his-birth A Texan looks at Lincoln on the 200th anniversary of his birth By J D Murrah The 200th birthday of Lincoln celebrations 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. Both men were responsible for shaping the way that people looked at themselves. Both men made radical changes in their perspective fields. The bicentennial of Lincoln's birth is the focal point of many political pundits. With the approaching bicentennial of his birth, people will examine who he was and what he did. Throughout the State of Illinois and Washington D. C., plans are being made to commemorate the birth of this politician who is an icon in American and International politics. Several national polls (Gallup-2007, ABC -2000) ranked him the most influential and best president. In the polls where he is not first, he is often considered in the top three of Presidents considered the "best". Scheduled Celebration Events In Washington, D.C., the following events are scheduled as part of the celebrations: · February 12, 2009, Lincoln's Birthday Tribute and Wreath Laying · February 12, 2009 - Reopening of Ford's Theatre · April 12, 2009 (Easter Sunday) Re-enactment of Marian Anderson's Easter Concert · April 16, 2009 Emancipation Day Parade April 16-19, 2009 American Association of Lincoln Presenters · May 30, 2009 Re-Dedication of the Lincoln Memorial There will also be two versions of a commemorative penny. The commemorative coin will emphasize the childhood of this political figure. Besides coins, there are commemorative plates and other items marking the bicentennial of Lincoln. The commemorative penny will feature scenes associated with Lincoln's past on the obverse side of the coin. This is not the first Lincoln commemorative coin. On the centennial of his birth, a half-dollar coin was minted to mark the occasion. The famous Lincoln Logs are also planning a commemorative edition of their product to mark the bicentennial of this President. Celebrations are also planned at the University of Illinois and Loyola University and other locations throughout the States of Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana. ... |

He "proved" no such thing. What you or I choose to believe is up to us.
Darwin merely proposed a theory to dispute the creationist theory widely accepted by most religions. As far me (still unable to grasp infinity) I think that everything there is had to come from somewhere, somehow.... Just my two cents. John "Mark B." wrote in message ... Darwin was a great man, proving that God doesn't exist. "Arizona Coin Collector" wrote in message ...

Here's one explanation of infinity.
Once every 10,000 years a magical bird flies over a mountain and drops a feather, when the feathers have worn the mountain flat, that's infinity. Billy "John Ahnen" wrote in message ...

As far me (still unable to grasp infinity) I think that everything there is had to come from somewhere, somehow.... From the standard scientific point of view, Darwin formulated a hypothesis based upon what he observed and then proceeded to test it in a variety of ways. Once he found evidence to support that hypothesis, that hypothesis became a theory. It remains a theory today, supported by overwhelming evidence, to the point where, in the words of the late, great Stephen Jay Gould, "it would be perverse to wothhold provisional assent." But no theory ever achieves 100% confirmation, as there is always more research that can be done. His findings, by the way, neither prove nor disprove the existence of God. Being evidence-based, science can only deal with the natural world and by definition cannot deal with the supernatural world. So, your observation that "everything there is had to come from somewhere, somehow..." can remain intact and valid. I am convinced that, while science can and does explore the realm of Time = Zero plus, and make that "plus" ever smaller and smaller, it will never be able to examine T = Zero to learn the Who, How, and Why.

"Mark B." wrote in message ... "mazorj" wrote in message ... How so? Translation: mazorj needs to go back to school I have plenty of schooling on Darwin. More than you, obviously, and more than enough to know that he didn't "disprove the existence of God". So justify your statement. Otherwise, the real translation is "Mark B. is an ignorant troll." Which, in view of your goofy economic analyses here, seems more and more to be the case. |

James, I agree with what you said, which as usual is much more eloquent than
I could express. Happy New Year to you and all the rcc'ers. (trolls excluded) may 2009 and beyond be numismatically friendly and prosperous for all of us.
