Introduction
Section 1: Religious Growth
p4: frog A study published out of Hiroshima University in 2021 supports frogs as the ancestor of other vertebrates, stating “What’s more, the research team uncovered that the potential sex-chromosomes involved in the translocations contained orthologs of the sex-determining genes in mammals, birds, and fishes.”
A 2021 TED talk by Michael Levin reviews new research with frogs that is helping to identify and manipulate an electrical communication between cells (not related to the nervous systems) that tells cells how to behave.
Section 2: Spiritual Growth
Section 3: Concepts of Supreme Value
p1: See Topical Study: Intellectual Constancy by Chris Halvorson.
Section 4: Problems of Growth
p5: Only in the second sketch you are favoured with a widened horizon.: The comma after “Only” is required to convey the intended meaning, which approximates “however, in the second sketch you are favoured…” as opposed to the meaning without the comma which would be “It is only in the the second sketch that you are favoured…” Also note that for the sentence to work without the comma, “…sketch you are…” would have to be inverted to “…sketch are you…” in order to be grammatically correct.
