For the religious, passivism [i.e., objects are obedient to the laws of nature] provides a clear role of God as the author of the laws of nature. If the laws of nature are God's commands for an essentially passive world ..., God also has the power to suspend the laws of nature, and so perform miracles.
Does the engineer ever predict the acceleration of a given body from a knowledge of its mass and of the forces acting upon it? Of course. Does the chemist ever measure the mass of an atom by measuring its acceleration in a given field of force? Yes. Does the physicist ever determine the strength of a field by measuring the acceleration of a known mass in that field? Certainly. Why then, should any one of these roles be singled out as the role of Newton's second law of motion? The fact is that it has a variety of roles.
Like all planets, I turn in my sleep, I've been doing it <br />since before I was born.<br /> My body is a nightmare<br /> it hurts me every day.<br /> I've been taught to resent it by boys<br /> trying to forge themselves righteous through conquering.<br /> They knew there was something wrong with me,<br /> it was explained through hands<br /> that spoke only in exclamation points.
Eddie was disappointed that he missed those free throws but I told him that we wouldn't have had that chance (to win) if he didn't get that rebound.
We played hard in the fourth quarter to get back in the game. We're just not coming to play four quarters.
We have got to start finding a third or fourth scorer. ... I told the guys before the game tonight (with Brian Radley out) that two people were going to have to step up, see if they're going to be the man or not.
I wasn't very confident that we could play with Herkimer without Brian Radley but we showed that we could.
They understood their roles in how we wanted to break the press. These are mostly guys up from the JV and they were able to stay under control.
Sometimes you've got to win ugly. We didn't play well on our floor and I think that was because of our layoff. We got a little stagnant in the third quarter and that's something we haven't done. The third quarter has been our quarter all year.
We were not smart on our shot selection early in the game. We've got people on the floor who still have to learn their roles.
We have improved every game. Now we probably need to take another step higher to play with Herkimer.
I know West Canada didn't have a real good shooting night but I think sometimes our defense created that.
That was a huge play. They stole the rebound and took it from a two-point game to a five-point game just like that.
