[Jawlist] Weekly Science Report 7-3-15

Sat Jul 4 21:17:51 PDT 2015

*Weekly Science Report*

*July 3, 2015*

*“Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle
in the hand of (another)… There are just some kind of men who’re so busy
worrying about the next world they’ve never learned to live in this one,
and you can look down the street and see the results.”*

To Kill a Mockingbird

 Introduction

I created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock and John
Anthony West to share news and information on various disciplines to
include paleontology, space sciences, genetics and archaeology.  My goal
behind sharing this publication has always been very simple, by sharing
knowledge we can make our world a better place.  Since the beginning of the
internet age we have always heard of the world being drawn together but
through my investigations I’ve never found a publication like the Weekly
Science Report.  This publication is my contribution to bring people
together and share ideas and discoveries with my fellow humans.

I hope you enjoy this publication and that the content challenges and
inspires you!

Steve Detwiler
