Science vs. Religion + Indiana Beach

So, all about Wednesday:

In the morning we had 2 classes - Overpopulation/Emigration by Dr. David Brule and Climate Change by Amelia Andrews. For me personally, the first class was very interesting because we discussed immigration. The other lecture was on how the climate change is connected to politics and how politics twists the scientists' discoveries.

Wednesday was also the only day we had 2 classes in the afternoon instead of 1. Both classes were about science and we had the same teacher as before and he's just really good at what he does. He gave as cardboards that had wires inside and 6 metal button-like things on the surface, a small light bulb connected to a wire and a battery. Our task was to draw the wire circuit on a paper. It was so much fun to do that, even though there was no certain answer and for practical reasons we couldn't open them to see the wires.

The second class was Science versus Religion, which me and a lot of others were really looking forward to since it's such a controversial subject and everybody has so different strong opinions about this topic. It was, as expected, very heated discussion. Also it was nice that we have people form different religions - different kinds of Christians, Muslim, Atheists - so it got very interesting.

On Wednesday evening we went to Indiana Beach - an amusement park about 45 minutes from here (since I know nothing about the miles, I've started to use hours and minutes when talking about distances). It's not very big, but it looks like in the old movies - if you have seen Grease, then you know what I mean. They had a couple of pretty nice roller coasters and a really cool new coaster, that went upside down for a couple of times. It was a lot of fun.
