*"The animated sequences will be designed by Mamikon himself, using Flash Animation or Java Applets, which can easily be placed on the Internet and accessed from the Project's web site: http://www.projectmathematics.com. Professional animators will be used to render the Flash Animation to a format suitable for broadcast quality television." * (Slightly off topic) I am intrigued that "in addition to extensive military and physical training" Lauritzen was able to study "algebra and trigonometry, analytic geometry, calculus, engineering, law, astronomy, philosophy, ethics, comparative religion, astrodynamics, electrical engineering, chemistry, aeronautical engineering, psychology, anthropology, history, Russian, US history, world history, military history, air power and 20th century warfare, statistics, mechanics, biology, human physiology, political science, physics, space flight, economics, and art." *in a mere 2 years. *Is / was this kind of education typical in the USA ? I recall having read some extracts of his previous "book" (tract ??) "God is a three letter word", and if I had paid for it I would certainly have come to the meeting tomorrow to demand my money back "*My Ebook is available on my web site, and if you buy it, read it, and then do not believe it is the best book ever on science and religion I will fully refund your money. My web site is: www.earth360.com The title of the book is: "The Invention of God: The Origins of Religious and Scientific Thought" I have another book for sale also called: "God is a Three-Letter Word, which is a much shorter book. I will also refund your money if you are not completely satisfied after reading that book.* * Bill Lauritzen" http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Sci/sci.skeptic/2008-02/msg00058.html * On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 10:17 AM, Russ Abbott <[email protected]> wrote: > His website <http://www.earth360.com/lauritzen_bill.html> features him in > pictures with various people.
