In the beginning there was Aristotle And objects at rest tended to remain at rest And objects in motion tended to come to rest And soon everything was at rest And God saw that it was boring. Then God created Newton And objects at rest tended to remain at rest But objects in motion tended to remain in motion And energy was conserved and momentum was conserved and matter was conserved And God saw...

(1) God exists in the understanding but not in reality. (Supposition) (2) Existence in reality is greater than existence in the understanding alone. (Premise) (3) God’s existence in reality is conceivable. (Premise) (4) If God did exist in reality, then he would be greater than he is (from (1) and (2)). (5) It is conceivable that there be a being greater than God is (from (3) and (4)). (6) It i...

In the penultimate chapter of the Bible, in the opening statement of the very last speech God makes in the whole of the Christian Scriptures, God says: "Behold I am making all things new" (Rev 21:5). The prophet sees the old heavens and the old earth the universe as it now is passing away, and new heavens and a new earth, God's new creation of all things, coming into being. It is not that God r...

A1 Either a property or its negation is positive, but not both: ∀φ[P (¬φ)↔ ¬P (φ)] A2 A property necessarily implied by a positive property is positive: ∀φ∀ψ[(P (φ) ∧ ∀x[φ(x)→ ψ(x)])→ P (ψ)] T1 Positive properties are possibly exemplified: ∀φ[P (φ)→ ♦∃xφ(x)] D1 A God-like being possesses all positive properties: G(x)↔ ∀φ[P (φ)→ φ(x)] A3 The property of being God-like is positive: P (G) C Possib...

This book investigates the central role of reason in Islamic intellectual life.

Glucose oxidase (GOD) is an important enzyme that finds a wide range of applications in food and pharmaceutical industry. In this investigation the feasibility of using rice polish as a substrate for the production of GOD by Penicillium notatum in submerged fermentation (SmF) has been evaluated. The intention was to enhance total GOD activity by the selection of economical substrate, microorgan...

An enzymatic reaction rate of glucose oxidase (GOD) using ferricyanide ion ([Fe(CN)(6)](3-)) as an oxidant significantly increased by the addition of ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL). The bimolecular rate constant between GOD and [Fe(CN)(6)](3-) in the presence of ε-PL reached about 10000-fold relative to what it was measured without the ε-PL, and the Michaelis constant decreased. The reaction rate reach...
