From the lesson on the Fibonacci sequence, examples such as the ones below can model that God is the Creator using order in all He made. By intelligent design, He created man in his own image (Genesis 1: 26a, "Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness") and even though man fell, He had a redemptive plan (Genesis 3:15, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel"). The Fibonacci sequence is one of the mathematical discoveries that man has found from God's creation. The shapes of many things in nature follow the pattern of a Fibonacci sequence. The human ear, fist, and eye shown below are just a few of them.

John C. Calhoun wrote the following in South Carolina Exposition and Protest: "If it be conceded, as it must be by everyone who is the least conversant with our institutions, that the sovereign powers delegated are divided between the General and State Governments...it would seem impossible to deny to the States the right of deciding on the infractions of their powers, and the proper remedy to be applied for their correction. The right of judging, in such cases, is an essential attribute of sovereignty, of which the States cannot be divested without losing their sovereignty itself, and being reduced to a subordinate corporate condition." Based on your evaluation of this statement, which of the following would most likely be Calhoun's view?

NOT----Central government is the most likely to insure liberty.

Consider the following quote by Dr. Francis Schaeffer found in his How Should We Then Live? (1979) and identify which option below best explains his main point.A culture or an individual with a weak base can stand only when the pressure on it is not too great. As an illustration, let us think of a Roman bridge. The Romans built little humpbacked bridges over many of the streams of Europe. People and wagons went over these structures safely for centuries, for two millennia. But if people today drove heavily loaded trucks over these bridges, they would break. It is this way with the lives and value systems of individuals and cultures when they have nothing stronger to build on than their own limitedness, their own finiteness. They can stand when pressures are not too great, but when pressures mount, if then they do not have a sufficient base, they crash - just as a Roman bridge would cave in under the weight of a modern six-wheeled truck. Culture and freedoms of people are fragile. Without a sufficient base, when such pressures come only time is needed — and often not a great deal of time ─ before there is a collapse.

Schaeffer utilizes Roman methods of bridge-building to convey the critical role of ideas in supplying lasting answers to life. When these ideas, or worldviews for that matter, are found weak and wanting, they crash like a little Roman humpback bridge because life's pressures are too great.
