190 Questions!
Here is a table of contents for people who might want to try an open book approach to the exam. I've included some links to Dr. Adequate's text.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes.’ Galileo Galilei 1615. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

However, asking such a question about Leonardo really is not really important. I see a point to such questions. The history of geology is as important as say the history of models of the atom, some of which don't even work, or the development of physics leading to quantum theory. In most courses on those subjects that I've seen at least some of that stuff is testable. Yes, we could leave the history out of a bare bones course, but why is that necessary here?Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

a point which hardly needs belaboring I think Leonardo's musings do attach a reasonably early date (pre 17th century) to some fairly reasonable views about geology, which might be of some use in a Evolution vs Creationism debate. Whatever Leonardo's own religious beliefs may have been, we surely know that his views are not formed out of hatred for the Church. In any case, here is one vote for a 'history of geology appendix.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

As this is the www, why should Western civilization be preferenced? Such a focus would be useful for a reference used by EvC readers. In any event, even if we expand to a more multicultural view, we might still be able to leave out the 'dragons'. And why is leaving out history completely preferable to omitting Chinese history? I don't get that at all. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.
