natural gas works the same way.hane, the same kind of natural gas used for cooking and heating, and chilling it to 250 degrees below zero, it would -- 258 degrees below zero, it would liquefy and reduce the volume of the gas by a ratio of over 600 to one. it weighed about half as much as water. ♪ the gas industry in the mid-1960's began developing liquefied natural gas facilities for a reason completely unrelated to automobile pollution. companies found that liquefied natural gas is an economical and efficient way to store large volumes of gas in the summer months for later use in the winter. shortly after constructing an enormous 620 million cubic foot facility, the san diego gas and electric company began experimenting with liquefied natural gas as an automotive fuel. progress continued. five years later, the general services administration decided to adopt the lng system for its own dual fuel projects. gsa's first full-scale experiment with liquefied natural gas came with the decision to convert 100 vehicles at i

there is no order in nature because there is no nature. we can't come to know it there are no laws of nature and the nature's god. there is only god's omnipotence and god can do whatever he wills. because nature is no longer intelligible for reason we cannot know the difference between right and wrong we can only know that through the revelation of what god tells us and god can change his mind and in one infamous remark are come says god could order us to hate him and we would have to do that. he could order us to lie and that would be the new standard of morality. now occam's influence was tremendous and a great influence on martin luther who adopted the nominalist view is that there is no relationship between words and reality. is just what we choose to call things. but the things through naming then we come to know than their just labels that we make up so this means god is. well and power and it is instrumental to his will and the best way to do whatever he wills. that means god just as his will and there is no way to understand him be

, a given nature. a man does not make himself to be man. he is man as constituted by his nature which means he can't be a giraffe or geranium. what contributes to the fulfillment of the nature so man becomes most himself as a man. let's say the acorn has the nature of an oak tree. nowhere along the trajectory of that acorn into the oak tree would t become something other than an oak tree. its reaches in fully mature oak tree. how does it get there? it relies on proper thing and needs moisture. these things are good for the oak tree. overly acidic soil and a drought, those are badad for the oak tree. why, because it inhibits the oak tree from reaching fulfillment of its nature. those are bad things and the moisture and right balance in the soil are good things. those are how good and bad are defined. now when we come to man says aristotle a slightly different situation because only man can choose or frustrate the fulfillment of this nature as a man. now, what is the end of man? what is his perfection? w
