means, he will most likely answer in terms of
exemplary ethical behavior, but that is not the
true meaning of the word. In his attempt to define
holy, Rudolph Otto, in his classic book The Idea
of the Holy (1923), adopted the term numinous,
from the Latin word numen, meaning a deity. Rarely
used before, this term became immediately popular
as a description of the supernatural. Otto was
careful to define what he meant by the numinous.

both reject God as the creator of human life.

Darwin and Frankenstein. Darwin's understanding of
nature is comparable to that ...

Woolly Mammoth Huge Tusks Thick

the same factors to keep it alive. Since the
Woolly Mammoth has been extinct for 4000 years, it
is difficult to tell exactly what they lived on,
but we can hypothesize. The Woolly Mammoth lived
during the Ice Age, so if alive today, it must be
