متن کاملCatastrophic Plate Tectonics: the Physics behind the Genesis Flood
The wealth of new data, mostly from the ocean bottom, that precipitated the acceptance of plate tectonics during the 1960’s simultaneously also opened the door for the first time in more than 200 years to a technically credible defense of the Genesis Flood. From the mid-1700’s through the days of Hutton, Lyell, and Darwin to the 1960’s, it overwhelmed the human mind to imagine a mechanism that ...
متن کاملThe Science behind Milk Ejection
The physiology of milk ejection has been thoroughly studied. In 1910, Ott and Scott (1910) discovered that extracts from the posterior pituitary could cause an increase in milk flow from a cannulated teat and some years later it was observed that the extracts from the posterior pituitary caused an increase in intra mammary pressure (Gaines, 1915). In 1941, it was observed that milk ejection was...
