[Jawlist] Weekly Science Report 6-26-15

*Weekly Science Report*

*June 26, 2015*

*“Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how
you treat other people; Before you tell me how much you love God, show me
how much you love all his children; Before you preach to me of your passion
for your faith, teach me about it through your compassion for your
neighbors.  In the end, I’m not as interested in what you have to tell or
sell as in how you choose to live and give.”*

Cory Booker

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!
