The Mind of Querns

I've been thinking about a few things lately, and helping my brother in law Tyler study last night really set me off. He is in middle school science, which granted cannot be the deepest and in depth study, but there is nothing meaningful being taught. We were going through flash cards to study information about the Periodic Table, and with a little help Tyler knew all of the answers. However I know somethings about the Periodic Table and decided to test the waters about the cohesiveness and real understanding of what the table really tells someone. Ok so you know how there are so called energy levels outside the nucleus of an atom.... and each layer can only hold a certain amount of electrons, right? That is 2, 6, 10, 14....... (2n^2). Now I don't expect Tyler to know the equation, but he did know the total if each layer was filled to max; 2, 8, 18.... So I asked the question, "If an electron layer is not filled to capacity, what then does the nucleus, the protons and ...

This is my answer to the last post I made. Like I said I think that the so what question is the most important one I asked. I will then focus on that portion for the most part. First, I suppose it is obvious that I am a Christian, which in my mind means "a follower of Jesus". Many people would say that a Christian is "one who believes in Jesus". I find that to be insufficient and leads to the lukewarm Christianity that turns so many people off..... is that correct Harry? To explain what I mean read what follows. First of all, Belief is something that involves a self understanding that is really just a conclusion that something is real or true. Just so I am being clear, I believe in Jesus.... mostly because a lot of historical evidence (and that is not just Biblical, but also through ancient historians like Josephus), my own personal experience (which you can refute in your mind if you want), and I suppose a certain portion has to do with my upbringing. Beyond co...
