Truman became president on April,12 1945. He was given a full briefing on the Manhattan project on April 24,1945. That doesn't seem like he was being kept in the dark.

Mystery religions were very popular in the 1st century Greek world and Christianity is essentially a Jewish mystery religion. 'Mystery' literally meaning 'secret knowledge'. The story of Jesus telling a parable and then secretly telling the apostles that there is a hidden meaning is itself a parable with the author of the gospel saying that the entire gospel is filled with hidden meanings to be found.

It's terrible way to spread a message and inevitably ends with people inventing their own meanings and losing what the authors originally intended to convey.

There are plenty of historians that think Mythicism should be taken seriously.

The question of the historicity of Jesus does not deal with any of the supernatural claims. It attempts to answer how Christianity started from a historical perspective. It is a debate between a real but ordinary person; or a fictional creation, the angel Jesus, from which the apostles "received revelation" in much the same way as Joseph Smith did from Moroni, Mohammad from Gabriel, and many modern pastors do from Jesus.

So, no, the virgin birth narrative is irrelevant to any historical Jesus. That was created decades after the beginning of Christianity as a response to the gospel of Mark saying Jesus was from Nazareth, but some readers and authors of the later gospels thought prophecy said the messiah would be from Bethlehem.

There is already a Japanese airbase about a mile away from it. The airbase was the first to confirm the new island.

Japan’s Maritime Self-Defence Force’s air base on Iwoto Island (previously known as Iwo Jima Island, the site of a major Second World War battle) confirmed the emergence of the new island last week after personnel heard a loud explosion that sent sand and ash flying high into the air.

double it and ~~add it to~~ subtract it from what’s left

given the Americans did not join the war until 1944

What? Do you think D-day was the first day of war for Americans? It wasn't.

So then the recommendation should be 'never boil filtered water in the microwave, and never boil filtered water in a new pot on a stove', not 'never boil water in a microwave'.

Edit: or maybe 'Never boil filtered water in a glass or ceramic container' that makes it clear that the method of heating is irrelevant, it's the condition of the water and container that is important.

I've boiled water in the microwave thousands of times, it's never been superheated. It's does not easily happen in a microwave.

Every time I've seen someone test out this microwave myth, they use distilled water and a new container.

Exactly the same as water being superheated in a microwave, no nucleation sites.

There's nothing special about a microwave that will superheat water. You can superheat water on a stovetop, but nobody ever says not to boil water on a stove.

But with components continuing to get more expensive, Upton wrote, the Zero models have to increase as well—from $5 to $10 for a Zero and $10 to $15 for a Zero W (with wireless).

They are selling for what they are supposed to be sold for.
